One year down, people. Say buh-bye to 2015 and helloooo, 2016. And what better way to celebrate the beginning of something than with - wait for it - another much-anticipated release? That’s right.
We’ve been on fire for the last weeks with the release of a new version of My Tokens and today I’ve got some great news - we’ve completed the development and now My Tokens 2.6 is out.
Personalization, Dynamic Content
There are a ton of ways you can use My Tokens to help make your life easier. But personalization is the word on every marketer’s and power user’s lips.
There is a new Gold Rush going on right now, and the gold of the 21st century is data. There is a wealth of methods to put your company’s data to work; by far, personalization is one of the most exciting and effective.
But while many DNNizens think personalization is too complicated to implement, or is too time-consuming to maintain, personalization is much easier than you'd think.
To get started, all that you need to use is My Tokens 2.6, as it empowers you to harness the power of personalization to effortlessly provide unobtrusive and meaningful interactions with visitors across DNN portals.

What My Tokens Clients Have To Say
There were really many instances where we have seen the concrete benefits, the net effect My Tokens has on our clients’ well being. Having seen the below reviews for My Tokens, though, we can safely say that we do make a difference through our work… and that’s a great feeling.
Why did I wait so long to install and try this app? What a fantastic module, sorry I waited so long to install and try out. Once you collect your thoughts and establish a naming scheme the rollout of tokens were a dream. Will save so much time and human error... Update token and everything across the site is in-sync... no more locating every instance and fixing on a one-by-one basis. As we change organisation names often and our downloadable resources change these tokens will make this tedious work a breeze. ALSO, documentation and interface high standard and support outstanding! Kathryn W.
Hands down the best module I have installed! The My Tokens architecture is very powerful and if you know how to use DNN Tokens, this is a no brainer. If you are a developer who is still confused about how to develop a custom module for DNN, you can pretty much develop your entire module within My tokens. Kevin F.
All I can say is "Wow!" This is a really well thought out product with an excellent developer backing it up. The ability to use tokens for all kinds of purposes and integrations brings DNN to a whole new level. Add to that a company that is very knowledgeable and does what it says both timely and effectively and you have DNN Sharp. Patricia E.
I'm a huge fan of all their products. My Tokens is nothing short of an amazing tool that any developer needs on every site. The support is incredible. I'd give this product 10 stars if I could. Steve R.
