After getting thousands of requests for invites to join this social news community, we're continuing to send out invites as we iterate and improve on the product. Our team is gathering feedback from beta testers and elsewhere to add new features before we open it up to the larger community.
Below are some of the highlights and reactions we've gathered. We'd love to get yours in the comments below.
Media Coverage
Nieman Lab: "The core logic of Follow is that curation itself is a community function. And that’s a fascinating proposition -- one that’s only beginning to be explored and, in the best sense, exploited."
The New York Observer: "Mashable seems to have hit on something its users understand, appreciate and agree will make their news consumption more efficient."
Poynter: "If Mashable can create a social experience on the site among its power users, perhaps it can multiply that effect, leading to more page views, increased engagement and wider proliferation of its content across the Web."
Mediabistro: "Mashable Follow allows readers to create a profile and share stories more simply."
Technorati: "The move, so simple in concept yet advanced via social technologies, could impact how news organizations and potentially brands enable site visitors to get the content they want."
InventorSpot: "Tasty social media layer added to the Mashable cake?"
