We just pushed out some tweaks to the search function. Searches with multiple keywords should be much more flexible and stable. You can now also search for links within a domain by entering the url, e.g try searching my links for links from 37signals.com
During the weekend LaterThis got a new login system. As a user you shouldn’t see any difference, but it could be nice to know that the login procedure is now more secure and reliable.
Don’t hesitate to contact me (use the email at the bottom on this page) if you have any questions or feel that something is not working as expected.
Google Reader recently released a new Send To-feature wich allows you to send a post to services like Twitter, Digg and Facebook. The neat thing is that it is also possible to create custom Send To-links for services like LaterThis. Here is how to do it:
1. Log into Google Reader and click Settings.
2. Click on the “Send To” tab
3. Click “Create a custom link” at the bottom of the screen
4. Enter the following values:
Name: LaterThis
URL: http://laterthis.com/post?stand_alone=true&link_url=${url}&link_title=${title}&link_comment=
Icon URL: http://laterthis.com/favicon.ico
5. Click Save.
That’s it. You can now select Send To LaterThis from any post in your Google Reader account.
First of all, we are really sorry for the bad performance during the last weeks. LaterThis has been terrible slow and unresponsive.
However, last week we made a huge update to the code, database and the servers. Over the last days we have been monitoring the changes and things are now back to normal.
We will continue fine-tune over the next couple of days to make things run even smoother.
Thank you for your patience.
Yesterday we launched a new bookmarklet that lets you save links without leaving the current site you are visiting. We call it LATERTHIS quick and it’s the fastet way to save links to LaterThis.
You can install it from your Welcome tab or from the bookmarklets section under Help.
We have made some changes to how feeds are handled in LaterThis.
You can now get separate feeds for all latest links, read links, unread links and starred links. You can also subscribe to feeds for a tag or groups of tags.
You’ll find the specific feeds at the bottom of each page. E.g if you want to subscribe to starred links, go to the Starred tab links and look for the RSS link just above the footer.
It is now possible to mark a link as private. This means that no one but you, as a logged in user, can see the link.
To mark a link as private you need to edit the link and select the Private check box. If you want to mark all your saved links as private from now on you can go to your settings page and select Set links to private as default. This will not mark your links saved up until now as private.
Private links comes with a few limitations:
We will start the move to the new server setup this saturday (January 17th). Some downtime will most likely occur. We will try to make the move as smooth as possible and report updates on Twitter continously.
The new year brings a few changes to LaterThis.
First of all, we are planning a move to a new server set up. The move will take place within two weeks and it will most likely cause a few hours of down time. We will try to make the transition as smooth as possible and we will keep you updated along the way.
Secondly, we will remove LaterThis Global. The reason for this is that it has not worked out as we planned and it takes to much effort to maintain. LaterThis Global might however show up again in one shape or another during the year.
We look forward to an exciting 2009 and we will continue to gradually improve LaterThis throughout the year, both by removing and adding features as necessary.
Tagging links just got a bit easier. Today we have added an auto complete function to the tags field on the page for saving links. Just start typing and your tags will appear.
On the same page, we have also cleaned up the tags in the right column and limited it to only list your most frequently used tags. As before you can click on a tag to add it to the tags field.
Happy tagging!
