Quite a few new products were launched or showcased on our Discussions area last week - always great! This is exactly the way we want people to use the Discussions area - to promote themselves in a relevant manner to the community. There's no better way to get feedback for one's startup than to openly discuss it with our community. Summer isn't slowing us down so keep posting those topics and links - they're very much valued!
