BaconMarathon Labs: November 2010

http://baconmarathon.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, November 30, 2010. All of the new goodness. We may have seemed like we were away for a long time but we have actually been heads down and focused on a couple big fronts. 1 A new and improved front door - We were watching organic traffic hit the old front door over time and watch the big bounce. So we decided to make a new 'clean' front door design that focused on showing what people are doing on the site at that moment. We have more on the way, stay tuned. Links to this post. Give it a whirl!

BaconMarathon Labs: January 2009

http://baconmarathon.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 24, 2009. Where have we been lately? I love that title! Over the last month we have been very focused on working on the user experience. We have been analyzing user behavior and making small tweaks, here and there, to see if users make better decisions. One example, we noticed users were clicking on the 'Watch More Channels' button but a majority were not clicking to come back to watch the cool. We named it 'Got Brain Freeze? Because we want to help users that are just plain stuck.

http://baconmarathon.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 12, 2009. What are the top3Click-ers doing? We have turned our focus on adding features that make top3Clicks more compelling. With that in mind, with the recent significant uptick in video watching, we added a new section called 'Most recently watched videos' that when selected will display in rotation videos that are being watched by everybody. Users just need to click on the Watch Videos button (in red. Above) to see what everyone is doing! Links to this post. Give it a whirl!
