Dear Users,

Here’s wishing you all a very Happy Republic Day 2008!

26th January 1950 is one of the most important days in Indian history as it was on this day the constitution of India came into force and India became a truly sovereign state.

So here’s a special logo for this great occasion.

On this great occasion, two of our TOP “Famous SmartList Owners”, Mangesh Garud and Shraddha Pandey, have created some awesome Public SmartLists.

1. Happy Republic Day
2. Ae Mere Pyare Watan
3. Mazya Deshala Trivar Vandan Marathi patriotic Songs
4. Patriotic Songs

Check them out and if you like them, send them a mDing to appreciate their efforts and rate their SmartLists a thumps up as well

Cheers,
Dhingana Team.

As more and more users are registering with us, we are getting good amount of feedback from users on what kind of control they would like to have on their profile pages, mDings settings and song history. For the past couple of weeks we were working hard on adding such features around privacy. Here is a quick dive into the world of privacy on Dhingana.com:

To modify/update your privacy settings click ‘My Settings’ sub tab under the ‘Me’ tab and than click on ‘privacy’ link as shown by the red circle below or you can click here

There are 3 different types of privacy settings currently available:
1. Who can see my profile:
- Everybody: every registered user can see your complete profile (your details, song, album, smartlist history etc)
- Only Friends : only users in your friend list can see your complete profile
- Nobody: no one can see your complete profile. In this case, only a limited profile with your name and location is shown to the visiting user. If the user wants, he/she can send you a friend request to become your friend

2. Who can see my mDings:
3. Who can send me mDings:
The options under these two categories are quite self explanatory At times some users prefer to receive mDings only from their trusted friends or from no one at all. Some users want to make sure that only their friends can see their mDings.

We sincerely hope these three privacy settings will help in maintaining a good eco-friendly musical environment Have fun!
