Slideshare Listens and Acts: Makes changes to notification email

Among many notifications mails like  Facebook comments and Twitter followers  that I got today one was from Slideshare informing of a new follwer. I was about to delete it almost as soon as it opened/loaded but then something caught my eye. Something had changed.  Here’s what the email looked like on 10th August when I took this screenshot.

follower email old

I had written about the use of both terms(follower and contact) in this email and how it isn’t the best thing to be done here.  In two days since I wrote that blog post, things have changed and I assume that post of mine might have been one of the reasons behind the change in email template which now looks like this
new format for follower email

The usage of term follow/follower/following is consistent now in all the three instances. Also, the profile url is now hidden under ‘here’, unlike being posted in open which is a good thing as it saves space and looks neat.

All in all good change, thumbs up Slideshare !!

Slideshare were you really listening ? 🙂

update: Slideshare acknowledged listening to the post I wrote
