Today we unveiled an all-new Radar site, with a significantly simplified and refreshed design. We hope you'll feel right at home in the new site, but here are some things you might be wondering.
Why redesign Radar now?
Although we've introduced a bunch of new features since launching Radar, the core structure has remained relatively unchanged since its original design. Since then, we've seen dramatic growth around the world and we've been thinking a lot about how to improve your experience across the service, both on the desktop and on your phone. In order to accomplish our goals, we rethought some core aspects of the Radar interface from the ground up, and while we were at it we improved navigation and brightened up the place.
What is My Radar?
My Radar is the hub of the new site, and where you'll find the latest posts from all of your friends (both groups and individuals) and Gallery channels you subscribe to: everything on your Radar. From My Radar, you can also access and manage your friends and subscriptions by selecting the appropriate link on the left-hand side of the page.
What happened to 'Everything'?
What was called 'Everything' is now called 'Posts', and this is where you land after logging into Radar. All of your friends' and subscriptions' latest posts are accessible from here.
Where are all my friends and subscriptions?
Don't worry, all of your friends and subscriptions are still there. We've moved friend and subscription management to new pages accessible from the Friends and Subscriptions links on the left side of the page within My Radar. From these pages you can add and remove friends and subscriptions, or navigate to a specific friend's channel.
What about groups?
Groups are now called Friend Lists: private groupings of friends for easy filtering and privacy. Any Friends Lists you create will appear under Posts, allowing you to easily use them to filter what's showing on your Radar. To create or edit the members of a friends list, go to the Friends page.
This redesign took place under the covers, setting the stage for a host of new functionality to be unveiled throughout the summer. We hope you enjoy, and most importantly keep in touch.

May 29, 2008Hi Gary,
Be assured we're working on making videos playable on more mobile phones! At this time, videos can be played back on the iPhone.
Sincerely,
