Become a “Power User”
Posted By Mike Orren in Power Users on December 30, 2007
While analyzing our traffic and registration statistics, we've learned that the people who use PegasusNews.com the most are the ones who take advantage of the site's advanced features. They're the "power users," while our more infrequent visitors pop in to read a story or check an event and then move on, perhaps missing some of the cooler features. And occasionally, we even see a comment from one of our regulars exclaiming in wonder over some newfound feature that we've had for months.
Part of the problem is that there's so much going on here that it can be hard to keep up. So, we're going to start running a series of screencasts on this blog (which we'll also link to from the "Help" page) in order to show you how to use some of the advanced features. We're putting these in a blog so that we can have open comments for you to ask questions and suggest topics for future screencasts.
We hope that this will make all of the local goodness found here more available to everyone. And, without further ado...

I tried the Daily You, or whatever it's called. Didn't care for it, because I live in a very boring little suburb. The only news it showed me, over and over, was what was going on in my boring little suburb, which was typically NADA. I prefer to get news from all over the metroplex.

We'll do a screencast in the next couple of days on the Daily You-- It's more behavioral than geographic. So not so much neighborhood as it is types of arts, types of news (crime, governent, etc). Depending on when you tested it, you may want to give it another try. The more content and the more users we have, the better it gets-- So early users may not have had as good an experience.

But CastleHills: IS your suburb really boring? Is there anything you or your neighbors could post here that would make it more interesting/useful? Is there information we could be bringing in that we don't know about? We'd like to solve for your geo-news problem too...
