Radius has come a long way since we went live and we remain committed to improving it. Driving our decisions has always been you guys - the users. Requests for new features come in often and this really helps us.

The big request these days is to make radius faster. Everything from loading the page, to logging in, to moving the map. We are going to focus heavily on this in the coming weeks so you can all have a snappier user experience.

Help us prioritize. Drop us a comment on where you’d like to see the most improvement. This type of feedback is really valuable for us!

Thanks everyone and we’ll keep you all updated on progress.

Now that you’ve eaten all your chocolates and enjoyed your lovely roses, here’s a ‘very nice’ gift from radius. This release has three very cool features you’ve all been asking for.

First off, we wired radius so you can see when your friends on AIM, MSN and Yahoo are receiving IMs on their mobile phones. Always good info to know when you’re about to send a message. Check out Borat below. He’s continuing his world tour, but still receiving IMs on his phone.

Next, we’ve spruced up the IM logs window and fixed some logging bugs. It’s way slicker and has full text search capability. So, start logging those IMs. All you have to do is go to the settings window and check the ‘log all my IMs’ box. You can get to those logs by clicking the logs icon shown below as well as right clicking on a friend and selecting ’show log.’

Lastly, you can now save your password. So, the next time you visit radius, you’ll be automatically logged in. Just click the save password box and you’ll be IMing that much faster.

Thanks for all the support and let us know if you have any ideas to make radius even better.

With all the increased traffic we’re seeing we wanted to be proactive and upgrade some of radius’ infrastructure. To get it all done we’re taking a bit of downtime on Saturday, February 10th from 6:00 AM EST to 12:00 PM EST. Good news is radius will be more stable and we’ll sleep a little more soundly at night .

Thanks everyone for your patience and we’ll be back up around noon eastern time so be sure to check back then.

We’ve been getting some traffic lately from StumbleUpon, so I’d thought I’d give them a plug because it’s a neat idea and helps get the word out about cool new sites w/o having to BCC your whole crew. It’s up there on my list of things to do to waste time at work/school…

RadiusIM has a page up there (as does every site I guess); slap a review of us up there or maybe a thumbs-up if you wish http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.radiusim.com/.

And completely unrelated, here’s the first in our “Subway Series” shots. I think this was our party invite to our first happy hour at Piano’s(?):
