I like it...it's not topic networks it's anti-social networks.

Quoted: Dot’s bookmarking service has remained a favorite of ours because of their ability to consistently innovate their interface. Today, with their re-launch as Faves.com, is ...

Eric's blog post:

Quoted: ...the new direction does not get in the way of my existing experience at all and could be come useful when there are more people creating content in subject areas that interest me.

Just received the print version of this magazine and noticed we're on this list.

Demo Girl's done a great job of explaining our offering. She's even created a screencast! I wonder if we can use it on our site.

Quoted: BlueDot just relaunched as Faves, and I think they did a great job. It was July 2006 when I created a screencast for BlueDot and a few weeks later they invited me to their launch party. Wasn’t that sweet? When I saw they had relaunched as Faves, I quickly went back to my screencast of BlueDot to see the differences.

This is great. It neatly captures what we've intuitively been trying to do with Blue Dot / Faves from day one. Having said that, we don't close the "3+1 loops" nearly as well as we should/could.

I think it also helps explain why Twitter can and do Facebook coexist.

Quoted: 3 + 1 + You
...
Feedback loops contribute greatly to a user’s sense of Audience within a service. I talked about four such loops here. What other loops exist? What else builds and supports a sense of Audience?

Early coverage of faves.com.

Quoted: Social Media Explorer is a blog devoted to discussion and review of social media sites, issues and topics. It is run by Jason Falls, Social Media Explorer for Doe Anderson, an advertising agency in Louisville, Ky.

We've doubled our site traffic in the last three months. I also give a breakdown by country. Number 2 is a surprise!

We got a nice mashable mention!

Quoted: And while Faves already had a good amount of personalization options, crating more in terms of its content management takes a cue from popular start pages, and is a similar tactic to one that StumbleUpon has recently implemented with its own site. So while the changes may not make it a big contender just yet, it does make the playing field that much more even.
