The new Firestorm Viewer splash page went live during this weekend and it’s now visible when logging into the Firestorm Viewer. On 10th February there was a brief moment or two where it changed then went back to the default view. I think it looks really good now as you can see all the important information at a glance. Great work 🙂
What’s New ?
The grid status and slightly technical parts are shown at the very top of the new splash page followed by Firestorm Blog postings, Linden News and the Blogger Network postings. Under that there are showcase places from the Second Life Destination Guide (What’s Hot Now, Recently Added, Featured Events and Editors Picks. All the links open and are direct to the destination. There are social media links located in the top right corner to stay updated via Flickr, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

It is on the busy side but I am enjoying it for the two seconds I spend there before logging in. I have actually visited a couple of the featured sites so all is good.

That’s good to hear.
There is a options button in the top right to hide sections of the splash screen which I only just found out about.

Thanks for mentioning that; I probably would never have noticed otherwise, LOL. I think it’s sad that the last FS blog post is from Oct 23rd; I almost turned that part of the display off but felt bad for them so left it.

The great thing about it as mentioned, is your ability to customize what you want to display. Some users are more visual by nature or curiosity.
