What's coming in Release 6

The Journals team has officially kicked off  release 6 work. We're shooting to deliver all of these cool new features/improvments in late may. Susan and Joe will go into more detail on these as we get closer to delivering them.  

Planned for Release 6
Mobile Blogging - send a picture, video, and text to your Journal from a mobile device


Improved AOL Pictures integration - an improved picker and viewer (like flickr slideshows  )


Improved Journals Search -  you'll be able to search an individual journal or all journals

Minor Layout tweaks to support search(as we get ready for improved themes and settings)
More 3rd Party supported sites (details to come)

Tagging beta for IE

Things that may get in  (but no promises)
Custom moods - choose from a list or write your own :-)
Improved Polls integration - have you checked out the beta?

Any luck in adding to the agenda the total removal the annoying AOL ad banner from our journals???  Let them stay on the "free" journals AOL provides to AIM users, but for those of us who $ubscribe to AOL, please remove it -- or at least move it to the very bottom!  
Thanks,
~Dee

I asked for an update to the Moods Chooser from almost my first post in July, 2003.

No one on this Journals team was working on Journals in 2003. We're catching up for sure.

Are there any other feature requests that you (everyone) want us to look into??
