We are happy to announce the release of Steemit 0.1.170121!
Here are a few noteworthy key upgrades for your experience on steemit.com.
In-browser Push Notifications (with @-mentions support!)
We have a new push notification backend which allows for user mentions directly on your desktop. It supports the standard notifications as well as mentions and transfer alerts.
Your browser will ask for permissions. (Currently, only Chrome & Firefox are supported)
Improved search engine results for profile pages
Your steemit.com profile page will now have greater visibility in search engine results. Your unique meta data is compiled from your username and profile fields. Steemians with detailed descriptions should see increased traffic via search engines.
Social Sharing
These refinements also trickle down to social sharing. For example, sharing your profile page on twitter will now contain your unique brand/profile data.
This is what I like to see!

I think mentions should also be added on the top-right pull down menu, along with feed-blog-comments-replies etc, with their own red notification, for consistency.

To be fair, what doesn't crack you up? You're one of those people who make me go "Yay, I'm funny!" And then you laugh at a really mediocre joke I make. And it's like "Well, okay."
And then it happens the 10th time that you laugh at a joke that lacks any effort at all, and it becomes evident that I'm actually not funny, you just laugh at everything.

And to add a disclaimer: I was joking to @stellabelle (Let's test out this new feature). I just don't use smileys outside of chat environments.

Does it work in nested (deeper tier) comments as well? Maybe we can check?
For example, @andu do you get a message about this?

Search engine results are very important also for the well-known brands, and life saver for unknown ones. I've seen many users while they were using G Search and typing facebook every times when they wanted to visit the site, instead of bookmarking it, or using the URL field at least. It's terrible to see, but makes me down-to-earth. We tend to think everyone aware of the basics and more, because we (the early adopters) are moves routinely in this field. But why we expect that the best cook knows how these things work?
Mention notification is a long waited feature. It's always good when something is built-in. I don't want to repeat myself, I could write the same reasons as above.
I used 3rd party service for that, and the built-in future will make it more widespread, which will generate more interactions for sure. (Abuses raise questions, though.)
Will we get a tab like

I can imagine how much time do you have to answer the same questions everywhere – zero. So I made my last question into #1027 (for anyone who want to subscribe for that issue, or comment, discuss it). ;)

same as facebook and google+, can I opt out? Although this is a public space and a lot of people commit here, I haven't decided to go that path yet. So it might be a great feature for most but not everyone. As long as there is a setting somewhere to remove that, I am in.

Those data are public, therefore it is already searchable. Making this opt-out is only pseudo-privacy. When users don't want that people see information about them, just don't share them, ever. What is the meaning of sharing information to the public if you want to hide it?

Nice job on this update and the new features.
Do you have a date when the browser push can be set aside if people wish and these notifications will be hard coded right into the Steemit blog platform/site itself?? I assume that is a plan LOL

As I was about to reply your comment @stellabelle, you deleted it and makes me wonder why I can't comment. It says "invalid key." After refreshing, I found that you deleted your comment. I'm learning here :)
