Yabot Blog

Continuing on last week's improvements we've today fixed a few issues with the news selections where you want to exclude certain keywords. This was not really perfected before but has now been improved to a standard we're really proud of. If you know that you use this feature (excluding keywords) you should re-open the news selection and save it again - no other actions are needed. The display of keywords on the page for "Edit news selections" has also been updated to make keywords easier to understand.

Over the past week we've tweaked and adjusted the algorithm for retrieving news to your own Yabot account (paid accounts only). Several clients reported that news stories were missed at times and we've spent the week researching and fixing. The changes we've now implemented will make the news selection far more accurate.

Yabot's partner and member of the board Pia de Gysser has been named chairman of the jury for this year's Web Service Award (http://www.webserviceaward.com/). The Web Service Award is an annual price for the best websites, according to their visitors, and is next week handed out by Yabot's Pia at a ceremony in Stockholm. Pia has her self won the award for her previous employer Agria Insurance.
- What's become obvious, year after year, is that website visitors evaluate usability and information the highest. And so even this year and the finalist clearly live up to those expectations, says Pia de Gysser.

We are persistent in delivering a new Yabot release very soon. So, despite lovely sunny weather outside we are at the office developing like never before. The next Yabot release (Docklands) is scheduled for mid-September and has lots of improvements and changes.
The most obvious changes are with the UI and the integration of what you know as Yabot vs myYa - they are now becoming one.
I will over the next month present the new Yabot to you as it becomes presentable. This is the first (ever!) video screencast and please give us feedback.
