Rally Machine Update: Teams, Maps, Search

Posted by stan at July 10th, 2008, in Rally Machine


Hi. We’re excited to announce a few new features that will hopefully make the site more fun and easy to use. We’d also like to thank many of you for your ideas and feedback that have led us to these new features. If you have a minute, please check these out….

  • Invitation-only Teams. Team leaders now have an option to make their team invitation-only. Read more

  • Opt-in for special news and alerts. There is a new email preference to opt-in for Carbonrally special news and alerts. We encourage people to select this option if they want to receive important news from Carbonrally from time to time.

  • Mapping all locations. We were previously only mapping the top 100 locations, but now all locations are on the map of the United States. So, if you want to view your city and your neighboring cities, have a look at the Total CO2 Impact Map.

  • More flexibility when inviting people. When inviting people individually or inviting to your team, the list of email addresses may be one to each line (good when copying list from spreadsheets), separatedsemi-colons or commas. Of course, you can still access your friends’ email addresses using the Get addresses from my address book button.

  • Search Carbonrally. You may now search the Carbonrally site to find certain rallyers, teams, suggestions, and tips. Look for the search box on the left side of each page.

  • Delete comments on team page. Team leaders may now delete comments from their Team Page.


We’d love to hear your thoughts about these features or anything else at feedback@carbonrally.com

Do you have a widget or affiliate program? I am making a website and would love to add your content to my site.

Hi CJ,

Yes we do have a couple of widgets right. If you are a registered user (aka a Rallyer), there you can post a badge which show your participation on Carbonrally – the number of challenges you have accepted and the lbs of CO2 you have eliminated. You will find instructions for the user badge on your My Carbon Page. If you are a member of a team, there is a badge for which will show your team information as well. You will find instructions for the team badge on your team page.

What sorts of widgets are people interested in having?

Thanks, Stan
