Some positives:
zanzoodle: Cool site of the day www.faves.com, love this site
lachcorp: in an internet cafe in Chiang Mai just met the owner of faves.com
kmwinter: i think i'm going to move http://kirkwinters.com/Items to http://faves.com/users/kmwinter. Yay for developer APIs!

Some negatives:
allergyexpert: http://faves.com/users/allergyexpert/friends/dots This my New Faves.com site. Not sure what it's for
DesignDump: Just signed up for "Faves.com" account...seems difficult to read through entries.

Short summary of the Faves.com case study I presented at SMX.

Quoted: This session will include actual case studies. First example is Faves.com. Wanted to capture long tail keyword searches so distributed long tail content across many linkable pages.
...
They also had a branding problem Was called bluedot.us in which users were confused over the .us name. Faves.com is more in line with what they actually offer.

I just noticed we're mentioned -- but with our old name, Blue Dot -- in this Yahoo News article about Microsoft's social bookmarking tool.

Quoted: Among the more popular social bookmarking services that have sprung up are Reddit, del.icio.us and Digg. Other popular entrants include Blue Dot and Diigo.

Nice review of Faves.com from Jan 2008 - just noticed it now.

Quoted: Social Networking News Profile Layouts and CSS

Added a new Faves widget to my still under construction Jazz Guitar page.

We were mentioned on Sarah Lacy's blog last month.

Quoted: Michael [Arrington] appears extra frustrated because like most of us he wants Delicious to succeed. As a matter of fact, he named Delicious one of the Web Apps you can't live without in 2006, but then dumped Delicious in 2007 for BlueDot (Now Faves.com) because they were surpassed when it came to features.
...
While Yahoo has been asleep at the wheel, countless new social bookmarking services have pulled ahead of the once king of online favorites. The best of the bunch being Magnolia and Faves.

I am trying (again) to establish a blogging habit.

Quoted: Not surprisingly, I use these microblogging services to broadcast “stream of consciousness” thoughts whereas I plan to use this blog for hopefully more thought provoking and “on-topic” posts.
...
Why two microblogging services then?

Our position is unchanged -- although the companies directly above and below us are now different. Farecast presumably will soon be off the list since it was recently acquired.

Geekglue blogs about our new widget...

Quoted: moved my bookmarks from del.icio.us to Faves back when they called themselves BlueDot (my Faves). Since then I've posted more than once (11 times if we count this post) about their excellent service and converted a few friends along the way. I've also been using their blog widget for most of that time; it was simple and yet very useful.

Yesterday Faves announced a new blog widget. The new widget has a neat "interactive wizard" to allow easy customization of the content and appearance of the widget.
