Lijit

It’s been an awesome week here at Lijit. We celebrated our first birthday, closed $3.3M in Series B funding, and got written up in TechCrunch and Mashable. But could we stop there? No! We decided to thoroughly cap off the week and get a jump-start on July by releasing some new features and performance enhancements.

• Do some of the things people have searched you about make you want to blush? Try our new naughty word filter. From your Profile page, click the link beneath your Popular Searches cloud to “Filter displayed searches”. With a simple click on the “Enable naughty word filter” checkbox, embarrassing searches — both past and future — magically disappear.
• Wish you could have a screen name that was different than the username you log in with? You can now! Visit your Account page and fill in the Screen Name field. Easy as that.
• Ever wonder where a search result listed on your Content or Network tabs came from? Wonder no more. We’ve enhanced the information that displays to the left of each search result to show how that result is connected to the person you’re searching. (Hover your mouse over the items in the left-hand column of your search result page to display the connection.)
• Had you noticed that Lijit was getting a little slow? To fix this, we found some jet packs and strapped them to the servers. Well, no, not really, but we did release several fantastic performance enhancements. We hope you notice — and thoroughly enjoy — that Lijit is now sleeker and faster than ever!

As always, if you have questions or comments about any of the features we released or ideas for new features you’d like to see, please tell us!
