DailyBooth released a new, slightly more complex version of its popular photo sharing site on Friday. The update is the largest of its kind for the two-year-old face-focused startup.
The latest version — referred to as #dbv3 — brings several design changes and adds long-overdue notifications for comments and other site activity. The startup has also introduced private group messaging to all users, added a “sticky” comment bar that remains permanently affixed to the bottom of each page and provided users with a new way to view profile pages called “quilt view.”
Apart from the design tweaks, quilt view is the most visually arresting update. Users can now select the option atop profiles to view the last 50 photos posted by a user, stitched together in a quilt-like fashion. The photo thumbnails offer users a bird’s eye view of their friends’ DailyBooth activity and make it easier to revisit photos from the past.
The group messaging feature now lets members start private multi-party conversations with their DailyBooth friends using the @username syntax. The feature will likely be a welcome addition for avid users who have developed on-site photo cliques.
Today’s updates have been mostly well-received by DailyBooth users, though some have noticed that the search bar is now hidden, while still accessible, in the new design. Some users have also reported issues uploading photos in certain browsers, but it’s a bug that will likely be fixed shortly.
