Hi everyone,
Something I keep hoping to fix is the amount of people who see site announcements - as well as an easier way to post smaller updates, like the ones I do on Facebook (such as asking for info/input).
Right now we have a box on the homepage that shows the most recent site announcements - but people don't really see the box. It's important especially if I need to warn people about downtime, or to get the word out about new features, etc.
I'm hoping you all can link to some sites that you think do this sort of thing well - specifically, sites that surface site-specific updates/feature updates/announcements in a really discoverable way, and also what they do that you think makes it a good system.
Sites that are nothing more than a forum don't count, as forums tend to have their own announcement systems. I'm looking for full on sites (that may or may not have a forum), which surface announcements in an especially good/useful/clever way.
Thanks!
