Thanks for bearing with us while we tried out some things on the site. As promised, we’ve rolled out changes that let you pick your favorite view. Here’s how you do it.

1. Go to your profile.
2. Click the “Edit Account” tab.
3. Look for “Select Default View” and choose the view you want to see every time you visit Global Grind.

(If you choose “No Preference,” Global Grind will remember the last view you were in and automatically take you there when you come back as a signed-in user.)

4. Click “Update” to  save your changes.

Still confused about the views? Mouse over any tab (or the names of the views on the profile page) to get helpful tool tips about each view.

Remember we told you that we were trying something new? We switched things up to give more users a taste of Global View, and it turns out, a lot of you like it. (We know, we know. Getting all the latest news, gossip and updates from the top sites in one place? What’s not to like?)

But, we’ve also heard from some of you who prefer Discovered, Up & Coming, or our GG Spotlight view. So we’ve decided the best thing to do is let YOU pick your favorite view and give it to you every time you visit us.

If you’re logged into Global Grind and leave the site, we'll remember the last view you were in and we'll automatically take you there when you come back. Think of it like TiVo. Leave the site, go get a drink and come back. We'll still be paused where you left off.

Also, coming very soon, you'll be able to specify your favorite view in your profile, so that you can always experience Global Grind the way you want to. 

Keep that feedback coming to globalgrind.com/feedback.

Hey, Global Grinders! You may have noticed that we’re trying something new on the site.

Now, when you visit Global Grind, the first thing you’ll see is Global View. A lot of our users aren’t familiar with Global View, so we wanted to bring it to the forefront and expose more people to it.

HOW GLOBAL VIEW WORKS

Global View combs the web and brings you a variety of perspectives in one place. The latest content from the best sites and blogs is fed into Global View. Click on the headlines that interest you and check out the content.  

See something worth grinding? The small green “G” indicates that the content has not yet been submitted to our site. Click on the content to view it, and then click the “GRIND IT FIRST” button to submit it to the site.

If someone has already submitted a piece of content from Global View (indicated by a small gray “G”), you can still check it out and grind it, trash it, or comment on it.
