Just like Daft Punk (no, Kanye didn't write it), we're giving it to you harder, better, faster, and stronger. We've made some kick ass changes over the last few months based on your feedback and we think you'll like what you see. So, what's new?
- The homepage is now a quick snapshot of what's going on in your city as voted by other members...get in on the action and cast your vote!
- We've added more fun ways to express yourself and connect with others. Add stuff you like to see who else shares your taste and then show off what you're into with the MeBox.
- We also fixed the basics, making it easier and more entertaining to locate exciting, fun, and unusual events suited to one's taste and people who share it throughout the site.

Home Page: We simplified the homepage to give you "Going at a glance." Now you have an organized "My Stuff" section for all your messages, notifications, props, friend requests and invites. There's also an area that lists your upcoming events so you can stay on top of all your options. The City Buzz s
hows who's talking about what in your city and lets you thumb up or down all the comments.
On the right hand side, you can see the best of what your city is into - as determined by other members.
Go ahead, click through some events and places. As you click, we'll build a queue of people for you that are into the same stuff you just clicked. Add them to your Cool List, or give them Props - our new feature allowing you to show other members love for things like having great taste in music or sketchy facial hair. The Photo Booth shows you the coolest, sexiest, and WTFest photos in your city. Cast your vote or NEXT the lame ones.
Fast Browsing: Looking for something specific? Check out the new blazing-fast browse pages. Everything you need to know about an event, place, or person all from the listing! It's never been quicker or easier to plan your social life. You can also check out who's going to all of your events under the People to See tab, people are ranked by the # of events they have in common with you.
Express Yourself: Be sure to go to your profile to play with a feature we're all proud of here - the MeBox. Your MeBox is a collage that allows you to show how you roll in your city. Use photos to show people what you're into, where you like to hang out and who you roll with. Use the super simple interface we built that pulls in all your photos, friends, interests, hangouts and events. You can quickly arrange your photos to create a visual representation of what you're about and be sure to add captions to let people know why it's in your MeBox. Best of all, you can share your masterpiece with all your friends on MySpace, Facebook, etc. We're all stoked to see what kind of crazy stuff you guys come up with...and rate it!
These changes are only the beginning of what's to come. We're striving to build features that push forward the best content created by the community. The new site's in beta, so we'll be constantly improving things meaning you might find some unexpected "features" along the way. As always, we want to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and complaints, so if you have any please send them to betafeedback@going.com.
