Tomorrow, the 22nd of February, marks the first birthday of me officially announcing the Socializer for public use. For a few months before that, the Socializer was in use (and thus testing) on eKstreme.com.

To mark the occasion, the Socializer now has new design to bring it more in line with the Web 2.0 look. Please tell me what you think of the new layout either in the comments below or over at the site review thread at Cre8.

So what does the future hold? There are many, and I mean many, updates on the way. I don't want to spoil the suprise, so I'll keep mum for now, but webmasters will be very interested in what's coming. I can't promise a time line as I'm so busy, but hopefully within a month things will be launched into public testing.

This past year has been amazing for me. eKstreme.com's traffic went up 10x. I met some great and wonderful people. Even a little community of sorts coalesced. All this was mostly due to the attention the Socializer garnered. Never did I think that it will become as popular as it did, and I want to thank everyone who blogged about, who suggested to friends, and to its users for making it what it is.

So thanks again to everyone, and if you have any feedback, recommendations, suggestions, anything, please just give me a shout.
