Nathan, founder of http://npost.com, blogged about our coffee meeting. Our "change" in strategy is a little overstated. Referring to it as an "extension" of strategy might have been better, but it's a great post nonetheless!
Quoted: They decided to changes their names to faves.com, which makes a lot of sense. It meshes well with your overall services, is five characters, and has a coveted .com. It will be interesting to see how this rebranding does for the company.

Don, our initial investor, was instrumental in helping us get Blue Dot off the ground and in realizing our vision. Through the ups and downs, he was a mentor and inspiration to me.
My wishes to Heather and the family for their strength and comfort through this tough time.
Quoted: Don has crossed over into heaven. He died peacefully at 12:48pm. Please continue to pray for Heather and the boys.

Quoted: It looks like everything will remain the same in terms of usernames and the like so continue to tag your best finds through Faves.com with the tag TGGP. It may end up being mentioned on the show.

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.

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.

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.

We're in TechCrunch today (and so is derek if you look at the screenshot they've used).
Quoted: They’re making a big bet that the new features and .com domain will give a boost those numbers. All in all, they look to be off to a smart start.

Quoted: The look and feel of the site are incredible, the interface is very attractive and easy to use. Blue Dot is very well made and has a system that without doubt separates it from other similar services.

A fan of our service is trying to get others to use Blue Dot on this thread.
Quoted: They have a Firefox extension that will let you bookmark pages without ever leaving the page.

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. - mohit - May 29 20081 FaverViewed: 11 Times
