You have always been able to track another user’s activity on Bemba via RSS. The RSS feed was a typical first implementation: plain & simple, nothing fancy. Improvements were needed and we implemented three: track clicks, show the site/video thumbnail and show the user’s comment.

Track clicks
Just recently we launched Bemba Statistics: free link sharing statistics. You can see – in real-time – how many times people clicked on the links you share on Facebook, Hyves, Twitter, your blog and Bemba. Now we track all the clicks in your Bemba RSS feed too.

Thumbnails & user comment
The Bemba application generates a thumbnail for every website or video that is shared. These thumbnails really enhance the user experience on Facebook and on the Bemba site (read our blog post about Sharing on Facebook). The thumbnail is now also present in the RSS feed.

When you share a site or video with Bemba you can add a short comment. Don’t ask why, but the comment was never in the RSS feed! Our mistake, and we corrected this mistake today.
