Permalinks for stories

Thanks to Tara’s post about her first dip into the Sutori beta pool, we’ve discovered a wee bug: there are some ways to view stories that don’t confirm to the one story, one permalink rule.

This should be changed by tomorrow. In the meantime, keep it in mind if you’re posting or sharing links to specific stories.

UPDATE August 2: This issue has been solved. We now have universal permalinks.

Tags, commas and spaces

Okay, so somewhere along the road to Sutori-ville, we decided to make tags comma-separated rather than space-separated.

Jordan claims he lobbied for space-separated and was voted down. I honestly don’t remember the conversation but I’m sure he’s right.

So anyhow, we’ve already noticed a few of our super-savvy beta testers instinctively using spaces to separate their tags and ignoring our possibly wrong-headed request for commas.

So what do you think? Is it time to wise up and lose the commas? Leave a comment and let us know.

UPDATE August 4: Tags are no-longer comma-separated - they’re space separated instead!

Closed beta happening now!

So those of you who dropped your email address in our sign up form will by now have received invitations to our closed beta.

This is big moment for us, and we’re really looking forward to your feedback.

And of course, we’re looking forward to reading your stories.

The interesting thing about a site like Sutori is that all we’re really creating is the frame. It’s up to you to fill in the picture.

For example, many parts of the site haven’t been switched on for the closed beta because they don’t really mean much until we’ve collected some stories.

So next to feedback, that’s our biggest request for you beta testers: Please help bring Sutori to life by giving it your stories!

Oh, and also please don’t try testing in it Internet Explorer ‘cause it won’t look too good. Firefox and Safari are good to go, though.

Finally, if you never got around to dropping us your email address but you’re interested in taking a look behind the curtain, leave a comment on this post or email us at hello@sutori.com.
