Wooooo Hoooooo!!! The launch is here!

Uh what it is yo, uh what's up? Waassssuuuppp! Can a player just FLOSS IN STYLE? IN STYYYYYLLLEEEE! (Haha, you gotta know it to get it.)

Aight!! After a week of delay, Dirty, Fu and I are re-launching this thang. Time to start FLOSSin' again. The next wave of features is live baby. This was a tough four weeks. We put so much effort into cooler features and more content. But it was worth it. We really feel that Wave II is going to help our users FLOSS IN STYLE much, much better (don't you love the colors every time we say FLOSS IN STYLE).

We've doubled the number of pictures. We've added the FLOSS LaunchPad. We've added the image magnifier. We've added tooltip images for suggested items. And we've added so much other stuff that's behind the scenes.

Don't worry, FLOSS IN STYLE is going to get even better.

In the feature list above, I mentioned the suggested item tooltip last but honestly I think this is by far the coolest feature. To try it, put your mouse over one of the suggested items and you should see a picture of the suggested item under your mouse. Now you can see what the items look like instead of just seeing overwhelming plain text.


By the way, one of the reasons for the delay in our launch is that we were having problems with our old site host. We were using GoDaddy before and we encountered tons of database errors. Man, those guys were mad bootleg. Just straight ghetto. We should've known they were bootleg after their superbowl commercial. If you didn't see it you should go look at it (http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/superbowl05/landing.asp?isc=bpshdr002). That ad there is the definition of bootleg. Anyway, now we've moved to another host, and it's already much better. We'll see how it goes.

So I think it's pretty obvious that our crew is excited about what we've accomplished here. This is another successful Dirty, Iji, Fu collabo.

Again, we have to thank all of you for your feedback. Every time someone gives us advice on how we can improve the site, we're back in the lab working away to bang out new features.

I hope you enjoy the goodness of FLOSS IN STYLE.

keep flossin'
