Hi folks -- quick update here: Product Manager Susan has informed me that the R3 release was installed this morning,
without a hitch (well, nearly -- it went pretty smoothly, anyway, or so
they tell me -- I didn't have the pleasure of being awake at 4AM this
morning).
If you didn't see it, check out Susan's pre-launch list, which details some of the specifics about the new features, including some details you'll want to know about Buddy List Rostering, which is one of the primary new features. The other main changes you'll see are:
* A Notify AOL link in the footer of every entry (instead of just on the main page of your blog)
* A Blog About This Entry
link, also in the footer of each entry, which makes it easier for you
to blog about other people's Journal entries (and vice versa.)
There was also some behind-the-scenes work, the impacts of which you won't see immediately (such as the Partner Ping, which improves the way we let blog search engines know about your new blog entries).
Now that R3 is up and live, the tech folks can work on the R4 release,
which should hopefully roll out in the early part of 2006.
If you're having any problems with Journals, either related to the new release or not, please let me or Susan know.
Thanks -- Joe

Things are fine now but at four thirty am i was having mega book problems with aol. By 5:30 things were better. ALL is well now though. Must have been the working on the system as everytime AOL makes changes I have problems from signing on to pulling up web pages to even getting mail. Never fails I will find out there has been some new install. As long as its short lived like during installation Im okay. Glad all is well Happy Holidays.
