Hello again!

Allow us to be the first to say that you are not only good looking, but you are also amazingly astute. It’s been great getting your feedback—especially the bits about how much you love us! But seriously, we really appreciate your help in making Mixx your favorite home on the web.

A lot of the positive comments have been about our design—we’re happy to give credit where it is rightly due—so thanks to Alex and Jason for their keen eyes for UI. Another popular feature is the customizable YourMixx. We’d like to thank you for your most excellent taste—we think it’s pretty cool, too.

Over the past two weeks, our focus has been on performance enhancements and fixing bugs, some of which you alerted us to. Based on your feedback, we’re going to be implementing a few new features, including . . . Ha! Did you think we were going to tell you now? Alas, you’ll have to wait. But not to worry, we’ll keep you updated on any and most changes. We’ll post them here, but you might see a few of them in action even sooner.

So stay tuned, keep Mixxing and keep the feedback coming!

The Mixx Team

Welcome to all of our Beta Testers!

Our goal is to make Mixx the place where real people (a.k.a: You) come to find relevant, individually tailored content—whether you want text, photos or videos. And we want you to let us know how well we’re meeting that goal. Because everyone should be able to find what they want when they want it, without having to dig through the mountains of stuff that other people think is important.

Since we are in beta, the site isn’t yet fully functional, but we’d like you to take a look at some of the features and let us know what you think.

• Your Mixx: Select a few categories that interest you and we’ll deliver the web’s best content—stories, videos and photos—as chosen by you and other Mixxers with similar interests.
• Vote on what you see: Like it? Mixx it IN by clicking the green arrow. Think it’s mediocre or just bad? Use the red arrow to Mixx it OUT.
• Submit content that you’d like to see on Mixx. Make sure you select a category or two, and that you add a few tags. This makes it easier to find.
• Create a private group to share stuff with other Mixxers.

And finally, but most importantly: Use the Feedback link to let us know what you think! A few things to keep in mind as you Mixx:

• Is the site easy to navigate?
• Is everything where you think it should be?
• Are there features that you would expect to see and don’t?
• How will you use the site? To find great content? Discuss issues? Connect with people who have shared interests?
• Anything else you’d like us to know?

Of course, we want you to love it all, and if we thought it would work, we’d shower you with the compliments you so richly deserve. But the thing is, we need your honest opinion. You won’t hurt our feelings—really.

Thanks, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts!
