The tool is now (officially) in public beta.
We're making multiple updates a day to the software as we respond to user feedback and ideas.
Thanks to everyone that's tried it out.
#13 is a great tip: Learn to say "no". Don't stumble everything that your friends and colleagues send your way.
Maki: You make a good point -- that visibility of content is a function of fans -- not mutual friends.
However, there might be an argument that "fans" are more likely to remain fans if you are mutual friends -- and there's that 200 limit there, so you can only do this for so many people. So, although unfriending folks that don't friend you back might be extreme, there is a logical case for it because of the limit.
Personally, I just become a fan of folks whose content I like (and not necessarily those who friend me back).
On a related note, I wish there were somewhat standard terms for this whole friend/fan/mutual-friend/stalker theme. Would make it easier to talk about.
Maki: I'm convinced. The analogy to blog subscriptions is what got me.
Thanks, as always, for the insightful discussions. I'm a big fan of yours.
This may be the few times in recent memory that Rand was unable to talk about something.
Although it's unfortunate that we will not have our curiosity satisfied, we all know that if Rand could talk about it, he would.
This is going to be my first official search marketing conference. I'm very excited. I feel like I know a lot of you through my online adventures. Look forward to (finally!) meeting some of you in person.
Wish you guys were coming to Boston (October can't come soon enough), but it's going to be worth the trip out west.
Big day for me. This is the first time I've ever been mentioned in the same article as Maki and Jennifer Laycock.
Don't hold that against the article though -- it's actually really good.
Congrats Shana! I've been a secret admirer from afar (in a good, non-creepy and professional way).
Anyone have theories as to whether the number of friends you have will impact the number of diggs required to get to the front page?
Here is a rebuttal article that argues for more information in the SEO industry:

Gamermk: I'd trust Graywolf too if I were you. However, not sure what avoiding information really buys you.
If you're an expert SEO (or have access to one), then that's the better path.
If not, then free tools like this one might help (and worst case, you can ignore the advice if you think it's wrong).
TheWebbMaster: We'd have to look into this. It's possible one of the third-party services we're querying to get data for the grading algorithm is down.
Grades are expected to change over time (as more websites get graded), but not this much so quickly.
