Time Zone, Preferences and a lot of new Food Items

April 3rd, 2009

Few of our users from US wrote to us, complaining that we do not have US Food Items on LifeMojo. We interacted with a couple of them and we got to know that although there are a lot of websites which allow them to track their daily food intake and activities, they love the simplicity of LifeMojo and would love to track their lifestyle here. :)

We recently added a lot of food items (close to 8000) on LifeMojo and soon realized the simplicity of auto complete while tracking food items was getting lost. This was because of the wide variety of food items available in US. So we added Food Preferences. Since majority of our users till now are Indians, we have kept the default Food Preference as Indian.

Similar to the food items, our users wanted to specify the default units that they enter their weight, running distance, measured height etc. in. So we added the preferences for them as well. The default preferences are set aptly for an Indian users, but you can always change the preferences by either going to “Profile & Settings” -> or by clicking on the links just below your profile completeness progress bar on myMojo.

You can also specify your Food Preferences while doing a calories search on GTalk or GMail chat. The food preferences on GTalk are by default set to Indian, you can change it by sending international as a chat message or switch back to indian by sending indian as a chat message.

We added Time Zone preferences along with these preferences as well, which was kind of long due form our side.
