Rival IQ, Now With Profiles and Other Goodies

After spending our previous sprint getting ready to leave beta, we were back to building features this time (we know, it makes us happy, too). With the lure of the now snow covered mountains (company ski day anyone?) and the imminent arrival of the second Rival IQ baby, we spent the last two weeks in an even more focused state than usual. Speaking of focus, let’s get to it.

If you have ever found yourself using Rival IQ and thinking, I wish there were an easy way for me to track many distinct sets of companies, each with their own focus company and tags, this release is for you! Profiles are now available, and we have enabled this feature (part of our Agency plan) for all of you to try.

What else? Here are the full details of what’s waiting for you in Rival IQ :

What’s next at Rival IQ?

Certainly, there is no shortage of features and improvements that we can make in Rival IQ. Over the next couple of months, we’re planning to cover the waterfront, making improvements in summarizing information from the data that we’re presenting currently, introducing more flexibility in our page change following system, and adding new data sources (e.g. Google+) to Rival IQ. Pile on some technical debt, a little bug fixing, and implementing good ideas that come from you all (hint, hint), and we’re not worried about being idle.

Help us out!

Find something that confuses you, frustrates you, or you think is missing? Let us know so that we can make it better! Find something you love? We like hearing about those things, too.
