It’s a battlecry! It’s a blog! No, it’s a BATTLECROG!!!!

Hi guys and gals,

We’ve been busy adding a bunch of new goodies and features over the past few week or so, some of which you may have already discovered.  Without further ado, I’ll just get to the list:

• Battlecrog - Battlecrog.  Yes, it’s an ugly word, but someone has to invent it.  A battlecrog is essentially an on-going log of your battlecries.  If you go to Battlecrog in the menu under My Stuff, you can see your own battle cries, those from your friends/foes and even those from other ibeatyou users.  It’s a great way to see what other people are up to on ibeatyou!

• Measured Competitions - Since the beginning, we’ve always wanted ibeatyou to be a site where you could challenge your friend in any type of competition.  While ibeatyou let you win competitions through a rating system, we didn’t have a way to win competitions that were based on results that could be measured.  Well, we built out something called Measured Competitions (if someone can think of a snappier name, PM me!), where you can compete in things, well, that are measurable, like Most Free Throws in a minute, Most Pushups in 30 seconds, or just anything that is quantifiable!  To kick it off, we created a competition that I know you’ve all been dying to see: Who Has the BIGGEST HEAD!   Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

… Before we continue, I have to show you something REALLY important…

…wait for it…

…wait for it…

…and now, back to the blog posting…

• Hello, Bebo! - Woohoo!  For those of you on Bebo, you can now compete with your friends on Bebo with the ibeatyou application!  Add it now and invite your Bebo friends to do the same.  Then beat’em down!  You’ll be able to do pretty much the same things on ibeatyou, but from Bebo; you can see compete against other Bebo users and build up your rank in the Bebo leaderboard! If you dont’ do Bebo, just a reminder that we also have our MySpace application there too!

• Better Inviting - You can now send competition invites and shared entries with your Fave Friends only or to a specific group.  Now there’s no excuse for being a bad competition spammer inviter.

• Withdrawing Entries - You can now withdraw your entry during the first hour after its submission.  This is for folks who really really really get hyper-hypo excited when they OMG!OMG!OMG! see a competition they just TOTALLY HAVE TO JOIN and forget to read all/any rules that they promptly break.  Just go to your competition log and click the Edit button next to the entry you’d like to withdraw.  You’ll see a button to allow you to do that.  Note that you’ll lose the +5 points that you gained when first entering.

There have been a bunch of other goodies, tweaks and fixes we’ve been putting in, some more evident than others.

As always, keep us posted with your comments, feedback, etc.  Apologies as we can’t reply to all your mails, but rest assured we do read and appreciate them.  Now, I gotta get back to practicing my air cowbell for the Best Air Instrument competition!

Cheers,
Steve and the ibeatyou Beatdown Squad
