As fun as we know entering data is, we know that the main reason most folks come to the site is to get a better mental picture of what is going on in their lives. To make this easier and more useful, we are in the process of redesigning how the site reports look.
We’d love to hear any first impressions you might have about the new look, and would certainly love any feature suggestions as well.

Support for automatically tracking activity on Tumblr is now available on the site.
We’ve launched a new version of the homepage to surface activity from within the site. Previous to this revision, you had to be registered user of the site to view any of the ‘goodies’ that the site has to offer. Here is what the site used to look like yesterday vs today.
We think this gives prospective users a little better idea of what the site is all about, and why they should join.
We love our users from across the globe, so to make the site experience a little better for all parties concerned, we’ve rolled out support for a variety of units on questions. Once you pick a unit for a given question, that choice will be maintained unless you choose to change it at a later date.
We are also working on a way for users to set the unit of measure on previously entered data.
We realize that one of the first steps new users take on the site is the selection of what questions they would like to track, so we set out to make that process as easy as possible.
To that end we just launched a ground up rebuild of the Question selection mechanism on the site, complete with call outs for the most commonly tracked questions and ones that we have just added to the site. You can (as before) filter questions by tag, but we’ve also added a full text search to hopefully aid in a more natural search process.
We think these changes make the process a good deal easier, but as always, we are very curious to here how you feel about them.
For reference, here is how it looked this morning:
We’ve rewritten a pretty major chunk of the site. Previously to track multiple aspects of a single site (eg: Twitter tweets and followers), you had to enter your account information twice. We realized that this wasn’t the most effective way to intereact with the site, so we fixed it.
Now when you begin tracking information from a third party, you’ll see the screen below, which collects all the information we’ll need to pull your data from an external site, at once.
The next feature that we are working on, and hope to have launched shortly, is providing a way to track multiple questions from the above screen. We hope to allow you to track as many aspects of a site as possible by simply providing your credentials once and checking boxes by each aspect you would like to pull into Me-trics.
