We have now completed the upgrade procedure to the new favit, well almost…

There are some small things missing and during the next few days we will be fixing a lot of stuff, starting with:

Counters in the sections:

• Direct Messages
• My Discussions
• Read Later

Saved links importation into the Read Later functionality of the new favit.

Comments: publishing and replies, editing and deletion.

Twitter Integration and sharing.

Unique URL for each entity, plus restoring the favit url shortener fav.ly

Not all of the imported groups and feeds are showing up as we expected, so we will be fixing this as well, shortly all feeds will start coming.

There are also many other things, big and small that we will be polishing and adding in order to ensure a much better favit experience for all of you.

Check this post for updates on the progress, or report bugs and feedback of any kind in the comments or by messaging Martin – our community manager, the @favit is also an option.

Thanks for the understanding and enjoy the new favit!

When we launched our two-way integration with twitter, expanding and showing shared pictures or videos from the tweets was a fairly easy task.

The harder part was to beautifully integrate them into a single, unified content stream, in which the favit users receive information not only from their twitter or facebook timelines but also from their favorite sources (subscriptions).

There was one thing though that we have not been doing in the previous version and I am sure you will love it in the upcoming Avalon release.
Having our own RSS reader allows us to know a lot about the links that are shared around, even when they are shortened or in other way altered.

In the new favit when your friends tweet about an article they are reading, you will be receiving not only the tweet and the link to the resource -  the entire article will be expanded and displayed in full together with the comments from the original source. How more awesome can favit get? Stay tuned and you will see!
