Our Users Are So Smart: Make Lists Faster!

Last week, we got a great tip from one of our users, Chris Brogan. Chris thinks the Lists feature is cool, but he usually wants to create a list directly from the Tags & SuperTags page. He said that instead of hopping over the the Lists & Reports tab, he should be able to click a button on the Tag Manager to automatically build a list.
Great idea!
So, here it is:
Just click on that little List icon and you’ll automatically get a new list created from that tag. Then, you can then export the list as a CSV or vCard, view or print a report of SuperTag data, or even print mailing labels!
We took it one step further and added a “Build a List from this tag” link to the results page when you search by tag.
And because Sean is also so smart, if you’ve already created a list from that tag, in both cases you’ll just link to the existing list (so no duplicates!).
Thanks Chris!
What is so awesome to me these days is how companies like yours are so responsive. I think it’s so cool that I can beg for a feature, and you’ll think it through and pop it in. It’s amazing. When we grew up, it was “like it or lump it.” Hell, it’s that way now for some organizations.
In lots of ways, I’m starting to see how you operate as being akin to the principles behind Jason Fried and 37 Signals.
Curious whether you ever read their book. I think it might be a head-nodder for you guys.
37signals… oh yeah, we’ve heard of ‘em.
One philosophy from Getting Real we’re certainly akin to is agile development (“release early, release often”). Staying simple keeps us nimble, allowing us to implement these great recommendations from our users quickly.
