Each and every one of our subscribers is a real genuine person who takes great interest in being able to filter and personalize their news across a social network. Yes, these users have been very helpful in providing us with great feedback and feature requests, but this is because we have been willing to listen, and have always strived to create a product that our users desire. Additionally, this would not have been possible without a development team that consists of several highly talented individuals who have worked incredibly hard to push quality code day in and day out. That said, it is to both our users and our developers that we can attribute our success. Thank you for your comments and hopefully you'll take the time to explore socialmedian and discover what it's truly about. I'd be glad to show you around as well as listen to any input you might have. There is always room for improvement, and we will continue to keep that in mind over @ socialmedian. @ Pit,
