Just a quick note for those of you that are paying attention: last night I deployed some new features:

• a new preferences tab: lets you control the number of items being displayed on the recent activity or recent time tabs. More control over other aspects coming here in the future
• updated time tab: visual layout is now different than the sneaky-peaks that you’ve seen before. Save your description and time to Basecamp from within the gadget
• timer and controls available in the top right hand corner of every screen

A more in-depth post to follow, and special updated news for the Beta group as well.

Periscope gets 2 new features

I’m excited to say that I just finished adding two new features to Periscope: color-coded by Basecamp Account author entries, as well as description preview when you hover on the icon.

Now all Basecamp accounts that you associate with your Periscope account are color coded, and when you view combined activity you’ll be able to quickly see which account the comments belong to. Also, instead of having to click on the message to see its entirety, all you have to do now is hover over the icon on the left hand side, and the message pops up. This is also true for all other items that have descriptions, like documents, to-do’s, comments and so on.

See the screencast for a better, visual description.
