Today we released three important social features. Firstly, now you can have more control and grant a broader range of permissions to people you share blists with: read, add, modify, delete. You can choose to keep blist data private, leave it public, or share with a few people.

Permissions

Also, we now let you search through the blist structures created by other people so you can find a good one, and use it as a template for your own (the actual data is kept private, unless explicitly made public).

Thirdly, now two or several people can simultaneously open and edit a shared blist.

These are big first steps towards leveraging the collective wisdom of the blist community and moving blist beyond the extant paradigm of an online version of a desktop application with simple document sharing. blist is a social database, not just a database with sharing.

Definitely go try these out at http://app.blist.com/ and send in your feedback, it really helps!

Mille grazie!
