Update - Too Sexy to be a frontpage…

Hey Everyone!

I got a hold of a draft of a section of Vokle for our sneak peak!  What better image to start us off than the Front Page :D

(Keep in mind we are constantly making adjustments based on testing, so this may not be the EXACT final product…but its close).

On this page you see the current top articles for each category based on votes, views, and rating.  If you click one of the categories, you will see more cards for just that category.  Some of the cards you see on other category pages are on their way to being the next top article for the front page, where you can discuss them live with others.

One of the coolest things to notice with navigation at Vokle, is that it is done with the persistent controller at the bottom of the page, a.k.a. the “Vo-kontroller”. This control bar is context sensitive, which means that it only displays actions that are useful to the page you are currently at.  In other words, you won’t need to see a bunch of links per page that you don’t need to see. Duh, right?

Next button over we have the create a card button, which is a very simple process in which you can create your own content card to submit a link to the community.  You’ll be amazed at how quick and fun it is to submit news to the site and create your own card.

;D

All the way to the right we have our Friend Button.  Click this button and a small menu pops up where you can view online friends.  This is where you’ll be going to setup private video chats with friends, family, or co-workers.

I’ll keep you posted as we progress through the site!  Let ’s see some comments (at least until I can literally hear them after launch)!
