The Loop'd Team

This has been a very busy 2 weeks for us here at Loop’d HQ, so we are super stoked to announce the launch of some great new features, communities and deals for you guys.  Here’s what we’ve been up to…

---------------------

The Dashboard Redesign
You’ve probably already noticed this, but we’ve reworked your Account Dashboard – the first place you hit when you sign in to your account.  Since this is your first stop on the network, we figure it should have everything you need to easily get to where you want to go.  The highlights include…

Your Network’s Activity
We’ve designated the middle of the dashboard the ‘Activity’ section.  This is your place to see everything that’s going on in your network with your friends, sponsors and your sports (My Network Activity) and on the entire network (Loop’d Network Activity).  The best part about the Loop’d Network activity is that we only show you the stuff related to the sports your into – so edit those to change up what you see. 
 
Profile % Complete
We’ve found that members that did a couple small things when they first signed up had a much better experience on Loop’d then those that didn’t.  Since our goal is for you to have the best experience possible, we’ve added a little feature to show you how close you are to a fully complete profile.  Click on the ‘What’s This’ link to see what you can do to get to 100%.

One Click to Your Sports
Now you’re only one click away from your sport hubs – the place on Loop’d that’s got everything related your sport – people, brands, sponsorship opportunities, photos, videos, news and more.

Quick Links
We’re all about getting you to where you want to go as fast as possible, so we offered up some direct links to the things Loop’d members do most often.

----------------------

Viral Content Distribution
You can now post any photo, video or blog from Loop’d anywhere you want on the web – MySpace, Facebook, blogs, or your own website.  Post a video to your Facebook profile or send it to all of your Gmail contacts – all with a single click.  Just hit the “Grab It” link wherever you see it and boost your stuff into cyber space.

Many of you are members, but for those that aren't... you've got to check out the All New Monster Army over at http://monsterarmy.loopd.com...

Here's a sampling from the Press Release ...

"ATTEN-SHUN! Monster Energy’s aggro online action sports community, Monster Army (www.monsterarmy.com), is fittin’ to get a layer peeled off and a new face/new look for the the Monster Army community - part of the Loop’d Network, the leading online network for action sports and the same guys that have helped guide MonsterArmy.com into a daily stop for scores of the world’s core action sports athletes and enthusiasts since the site’s inception four years ago.

With more than 130,000 “Reserves” (aka members), MonsterArmy.com features the latest in happenings from the worlds of motocross, mountain sports, skateboarding and BMX, surfing and rally – along with every other form of action sports that people get after these days. In addition to member-driven content, MonsterArmy.com showcases the latest news and video of its legion of “Generals,” including guys like MXers Ryan Villopoto and Jason Lawrence, mountain sport athletes Louie Vito and Peter Olenick, skaters Pierre Luc “PLG” Gagnon and Jake Brown, along with BMX and surf stars Dave Mirra and Dane Reynolds highlighting a list of Monster Energy-backed premier professional action sports athletes that numbers more than a hundred!

“Monster Army has become the nerve center of our company, the proving grounds for our latest ventures and an everyday international forum on a product that’s now killing it in every time zone, 360 degrees global,” said Monster Energy’s Jason McCormick. “When it happens with Monster product and athletes the news breaks on MonsterArmy.com, and we’re pumped with the latest look Loop’d is hooking up.”

With an easier-to-navigate new design, MonsterArmy.com new and O.G. members alike will be hip to the latest features the cutting edge website is going to provide. Things like “Spotlight,” which features new athletes from the ranks every month and “Badges,” which Monster Army members can grab to promote themselves on MonsterArmy.com as well as other social networking sites across the web.

In addition, numerous other ‘staple’ areas of MonsterArmy.com will receive upgrades, including the “Barracks” – where visitors and members can learn all about Monster Energy’s sponsored athletes; “Visuals,” a section giving everyone an ‘insider’s look’ at the coveted Monster Energy lifestyle; “Propaganda,” the unmatched source for up-to-the-minute news on Monster Energy athletes, along with downloads, badges and sticker deals; “Reserves,” the foundation of the Monster Army, where members get discounts, exclusive content and discounts on Monster Energy product not available to the general public – which includes the popular “General’s Mission” where all Army members are eligible to win gear from the featured Monster Energy General and their sponsors.

And the best thing of all? For real, it’s completely free to join!

“It’s been said that ‘It’s not a party unless everyone’s invited,’ and that’s pretty much what Monster Army is all about,” added McCormick. “Our ranks are multiplying daily and, in turn, Monster Energy is doing more and more to stoke out the members by offering up further promotions and discounts to our loyal reserves.”
