Web 2.0 and Social Networking Features Help Online Dieting Site Grow in Popularity
Upgrades to social networking features and the addition of online fitness videos encourage health-conscious members to tone up and communicate.
Arlington, TX (PRWEB) November 1, 2006
my-calorie-counter, the web's fastest growing diet and exercise community, announced today that they have passed a milestone of 100,000 registered users. The site recently upgraded its blogging features, added online fitness videos, and several other enhancements based on member feedback. The addition of these new features, along with recent media coverage, have been the biggest contributors to the increase in traffic.
Social networking upgrades include giving users the ability to use MySpace friendly layouts and themes found across the web to decorate and customize their my-calorie-counter blogs. Members can add before and after photos, videos and music and share their blogs with non-members, friends and family. "Our members gain so much support from each other by having the ability to share their food journals as part of their blogs. It gives new meaning to diet and exercise accountability," says Mike Moorehead, founder of the site.
The new online fitness video tips are presented by one of the site's administrators who is also an AFAA certified fitness instructor. Each video is 3-5 minutes in length and includes demonstrations for 2 different exercises to target certain areas of the body. The members are then encouraged to complete a certain number of repetitions after they learn the correct form from the video. The online fitness video tips will be added on a regular basis and previous videos will be archived on the site.
