RinkAtlas Supports Social Bookmarking Through "Bookmark & Share" Toolbar Button

RinkAtlas now supports social bookmarking through our "Bookmark & Share" button on the toolbar. This feature allows you to bookmark rink locations in Digg, Del.icio.us, Facebook, MySpace, and about 30 other sites.

This feature is made possible through AddThis, a company that specializes in social network integration tools. AddThis is a local company in my area, and I've met with two of the company's executives in recent weeks. I like what they're doing, and I think it provides real value to RinkAtlas users.

If you think the Bookmark & Share button is helpful, drop me an email at daiello [at] rinkatlas.com and let me know how you are using it.

Fixed the "From Here" Directions Bug

I finally fixed the bug in the web version of RinkAtlas that reversed the endpoints of your trip if you asked for directions "From here", meaning from a rink in our database to another address.

If you tried this feature before and weren't satisfied, now it works.

Please let me know if you see any other problems with RinkAtlas or you have a feature suggestion. Send me email at daiello [at] rinkatlas.com.

I'm pleased to announce that the RinkAtlas database now includes all of the arenas in The Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). This is the Saskatchewan-based member league of the Canadian Junior A Hockey League.

We can now move on to the leagues in Alberta and British Columbia to complete our Canadian Junior Hockey rink database.
