Well howdy there HOTspotters!

When you surf around hot995.com and the HOTspot today, you're going to see quite a few notable improvements! The first thing you'll see is that our sites are finally combined into one "look"...so the HOTspot won't feel like a separate destination anymore. We've made it better so you don't have to get lost getting what you want anymore!

This is the only social network you'll need! You can do everything now...even stalk your friends! And by 'stalk' we mean, keep up to date on their happenings.
Here are some of the new features the HOTspot has:

• Status & Mood - Take a moment to update their status (free area to fill in what you are doing) and your mood (emoticons to coincide with how you are feeling)...now everyone will know whether to leave you alone or run and hug you!

• New MyHub - The hub area has been enhanced to make updating profiles easier, and provide a cleaner navigation system...we know the old one sucked.

• Friend Activity -This module displays what your friends on the social network are doing; uploading photos, videos, posting new blogs, befriending other members in the HOTspot, updating status, etc. There are links to click directly to those items and user profiles.

• Friend Status - Displays the recent status/mood updates for your friends. Quick links appear to add a comment or send a message to each friend.

• Status & Mood - Another area you can quickly edit your status/mood.

• Forum Topic Module - the new hub will have a module placed to show what hot topics are being discussed in the forum area on the HOTspot. This will provide a photo of the member who is posting as well as a "read more.." link to bring you directly to the forums to join the discussion.

• Mini Feed - Shows recent user activity - alerts visitors to your profile of your recent actions (post a new blog, upload a photo/video, update mood, etc.).

• Vertical Navigation - Below the member's avatar image you will see a vertical navigation menu to browse their profile pages.

AND MESSAGE BOARDS! This is a feature we know you've wanted for a very long time. You'll be able to create your own topics under the provided categories and reply as you see fit...now you can really let us know how you feel!

We've worked hard to bring this new improved HOTspot to you, and we're still working hard to make it even better. Please send Houston an email to let us know what you think. In the meantime, poke around at all the cool awesome features!!

Thanks for being a member of the HOT 99.5 HOTspot :-)
