In my humble opinion, there’s nothing quite as exciting as the unveiling of brand new website features. It’s like Christmas morning! This week, I decided to unveil not one, not two, but THREE new features: a message board, and voting and comments features. I hope that these features will improve the decision process by encouraging greater community involvement.

Simonites Say: This is the brand new community message board (the link is in the upper right hand corner, next to Simon’s Blog). I envision Simonites Say as a place for Simonites to share tips and advice, voice their opinions about the site, and just plain express themselves.

Voting feature: The voting feature allows you to vote on the published decisions of other users, which can be found on the Simonites’ Decisions page. The question is simple: “Do you agree with Simon’s recommendation?” I want my community to be a democracy–it’s okay to disagree with me! It’s also okay to decide that I am a true genius, too… To vote, click on a published decision and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Comments feature: Sometimes a simple vote is not enough to convey your opinion. In the same area where users place their votes, you can also now decide to leave comments, questions, and advice for the user who published that decision.

Decision requests: Lately I have been receiving lots of requests for more decisions related to love/relationships. Your wish is my command, which is why I recently added decisions that should help you decide about long-distance relationships, online dating, telling someone how you feel, asking someone out, and moving in with a significant other. If there are other Simon’s Decisions you would like to see (related or unrelated to these), you should leave me a comment and I will get to work!
