We have been very hard at work taking in a lot of good advice and trying to pump out the best product we can for you!  Here are some of the recent additions:

• We tightened up the design on posts, removing a lot of white space.  I think it makes the lists look immensely better!
• You can now re-order lists from #1 (Most Favorite) to #10 (Least Favorite) instead of #10 to #1…pretty cool huh!?
• Recommendation email will now be sent out every 2 weeks.
• We added many different ways to get updates on the site through RSS and email with Feedburner.
• WIKI edits, you can now make suggestions to our editors for any content edits on the lists.  More of this to come…
• Some BIG design changes coming up…

10to1.com, a social voting site, announces their new 10to1 Button, which provides an easy way to add voting and social networking to your site or blog. The button is one line of code that you add to your blog, website or article that quickly and easily introduces social voting and interaction to your readers. Because there is a lack of interaction on most sites, adding the 10to1 voting button quickly gives your users an easy way to give feedback on what matters to them.

Adding the button quickly changes the value of your pages and site. When users visit your page and like an article they can vote it up and share the article with others that might find it interesting. The tool is great for finding out what your users like and don’t like. Blog owners can quickly tell if the articles they are writing resonate with their users.

“Most blogs and article sites seem static, they are lacking participation.” said Korey Bachelder, President of 10to1, Inc. “Adding a 10to1 button to your blog will quickly allow your users to get social with only a click of the mouse. Voting is a nice step between anonymity and writing comments. People still like to be hidden on the web…this is a nice way to pull users out of the dark that may be hesitant about sharing their thoughts on your site.”

10to1.com is a website destination that allows users to create, comment and vote on lists for any category. The lists become more powerful and resourceful with each vote as users collectively create the best list based on individual opinions. The company is headquartered in Chandler, Arizona.

We just launched a Facebook app which I would like people to check out.  Once installed it displays a random top 10 list from our site.  We have it set up so that it refreshes every 15 mins.  Down the road we will target these lists to the network you belong to.  Any other suggestions or ideas?

Also this week, we launched widgets for sites that want to display our content.  The widget builder is very quick and easy to use…just punch in height, width and color options and the code is rendered instantly.  Content can be customized for Myspace, blogs and content websites.
