Thanks to all our users and people who have spread the word about us. The first 6 days have been quite a ride. We’re smitten that SuprGlu managed to rear its infant head onto del.icio.us/popular in its first couple of days. And we’re further flattered to be featured in Emily Chang’s eHub and the Social Software Weblog. And much love goes out to other many bloggers who have talked about us in the last few days.

We’re now actively making and pushing small changes behind the scenes. Two questions we’ve been hearing a lot from our users and which we want share with everyone:

1. Where’s the RSS feed? This has always been part of the plan and is in the works. Rest assured it’s coming real soon!
2. Why is my page taking so long to refresh? Due to the number of feeds we’re now tracking, we had to upgrade our server and change how we’re checking those feeds. We are doing our best to be sensitive to the services which provides those feeds, and at the same time make changes to improve our ability to keep up with these feeds efficiently. Currently, you can expect your page to be refreshed with the latest bits once every four hours. We’ll continue to improve this and come up with other ways for our users to refresh their pages…

It’s worth stressing that while SuprGlu is able to fetch just about any RSS feed, it isn’t an aggregation feed reader. Readers like Bloglines or
Google Reader offer a more appropriate interface for individuals to keep up with the news. SuprGlu is about you, your digital self as represented by your interactions around other web communities. It’s about the things you’ve been reading, the music you’ve been listening to, the things you want to do or that thought you jot down last night. More on all this soon…

For now, we leave you with a few fresh lookin’ SuprGlu pages. Any user can customize their look-and-feel by editing their stylesheet (under Settings). Users can also download our handy CSS package to make edits locally before “pasting” the new stylesheet in their account. If you come up with a style which you’d like to share with others, let us know and we’ll link to include it in our default templates area and credit your name with a link!
