What's even better about this site... if you've registered with them previously for other things, you're username is already in there. I just tried to register to fool around with it and they had me in the database already.

I would prefer if my own site users wouldn't need to register again.

It's similar to Ning ID

Very well done. Is this a business model that reddit tried (custom branded sites ala http://lipstick.com) before it got bought by Conde Nast?

Re: Lipstick.com... Business model must have worked as that was a CondeNet site.

Nice job landing the contract with Virgin. Did they contact you guys, or did you contact them?

They came to us through a couple degrees of separation. You never know where opportunities will come from.

Awesome job guys! I LOVE the idea and submitted an idea of my own. Anyone in HN want to implement this? =P

I was wondering what happened slinkset. It's been quiet on their features/help sets and usually they are very responsive and pander to requests with lightning speed. I was worried that they were packing it in. It's a relief to know that they were just knocking this out. congratz guys, looks great. categories coming 09? :)

Yeah, sorry if we were a bit quiet on the home front. We've tried to do a good job of keeping up on the help requests though. As for features, we've been knocking some out here and there, but as you can see from the Virgin America site...categories are alive and kicking. Look for them to be released to the public real soon.
