New Feature: Calorie Search - Now on Yahoo! Messenger

October 15th, 2009

Response for Calorie Search on GTalk was phenomenal (actually it made us upgrade our servers!) and we loved your feedback on it. Calorie Search on GTalk made quite a buzz in the media as well. Few of our users working with media houses loved it so much, that they got it published in a few major places.

Today, we make the Calorie Lookup even more accessible by launching the calorie lookup using your favorite Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger.

Now you can access the calorie content of any food item or the calorie burnt by any activity, by sending the name of the food item or activity as a chat message to calories.lifemojo (You would have to add calories.lifemojo to your friend list first)

Eg. Message rice to calories.lifemojo and you would get a response with a list of different types of rice verities and their calorie content as a response.

To get detailed information about any item, send the exact name like pongal to calories.lifemojo and you would get a response with the details.

Hope you will find this useful. As always, we are looking forward to your feedback and suggestions.

New Feature: Map your workouts

May 8th, 2009

At times it is tough to figure out the distance you ran, rode or walked, at times you want to log where you ran either for yourself or to share it with others. You can do all this on LifeMojo now :)

How do I do this?

When you track your runs, rides and walks on LifeMojo, you can specify a Route for it by clicking “Pick from Map”. It shows a list of public routes that LifeMojo users have created. You can either use one of them or create a route of your own.

How to use a Public Route?

By default the map opens the city that you have specified in your “Profile and Settings” and if you want, you can always make the map to point to another city by just typing the name of the city at “Jump to“ and clicking on Go.

It displays all the Public Routes on the map at the desired locality. You can click on a route or the marker that displays the total route length to select the route. Once you are done, it will ask you to specify if you want to save the selected route to your Routes and if you want to show this route to public.

How to create a new Route?

Once the map is open, click on “Draw a route” and start clicking on the map to draw your route.

We realized that it is tough to create a route when you are trying to draw a route along a turning / twisted road, so we try and auto route along the road on the map for you. To turn this Auto Routing ON mark the “Follow Roads” ON and it will automatically start creating your route along the nearest road.

Once you are done, it will ask you to specify a Route Name (if you created a route), if you want to save the selected route to your Routes and if you want to show this route to public.

What is “Save it to My Routes” and “Show it to Public”?

You can always view your routes under myMojo -> “My Routes”. You can view details and remove routes from here. If you select “Save it to My Routes”, the route gets added to your Routes and start appearing in drop down when you track, so that you can use them later.

If you do not want to share the details of your runs or if you do not want to share the route that you just created with people, you can uncheck this option to protect your privacy.

What are these Numbers that keep appearing on my route?

The Numbers that keep appearing along your route as you create it are distance markers. They indicate the distance from the starting point along your route.

How are Red and Blue Routes different?

When viewing public routes, all the routes that you have added to your routes are displayed in Red color and all the other public routes are in Blue color.
