Ok, so it's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to... but there is good reason for the time gap - we're ironing out the seams and preparing to ROLL OUT (Ludacris not Transformers) the beta.
Our dev team has been working non-stop for the last month - No showers, no video games, and a lot of tacos. The floor is covered with 4th meal, it smells like feet and everyone is ready to launch. That being said...the beta invites are coming, just be patient and I promise it will be well worth the wait.
I thought I'd talk about one of the really cool tools we've managed to implement into our platform and one of the reasons we haven't launched our sites just yet. It's a little thing called Facebook Connect and it has the ability to seamlessly move you between Facebook and our Lifefitter sites with out a lot of hassle. In a nutshell, one click on Facebook Connect will allow you to interact with all of your Facebook friends from any of our 20 sites.
Facebook does a great job of keeping you connected with your family and friends, and we don't want you to ever have to worry about building a friends list from scratch, which is why Facebook Connect is such an awesome tool. It works hand in hand with all of our sites to provide you with a seamless social networking experience. Taking your friends with you is just as important as knowing what happens between sites.
Here's a quick example: On Outpacker, your friends set up a connection to go hiking next weekend, but sometimes you forget to log in to Outpacker because you're always on Facebook. Facebook Connect will relay the news, post it to your News Feed and BAM, now you know about the news from Outpacker without leaving Facebook. You'll always feel connected without the hassle of logging into multiple sites.
So there you have it, another cool feature: Facebook Connect

Excited about the beta release! You guys have a neat idea and I can't wait to see it in action!
Sounds like you guys are working hard. Be sure to get some breaks in! I'm really excited about Huntrush and Strikeschool. I go to college away from home and because I don't know anyone from the area I don't get to participate in my favorite pastimes 9 months out of the year. It sounds like I may be able to get connected on some trips with people in my area with your brands. I'm excited to see the product, and I hope to get in on the beta testing! -Lucas
Looks bangin! And I'm psyched to beta y'all out on my lappy. I'm sorting through each of your sites for now, picking the one with the best gift to be my salary. I couldn't quite settle between OutPacker.com or CrankJam. I think I'm going with the fleece by North Face, unless you could mail me a rock to climb. Kidding
Does the beta fish Marcus blog, too, like my dog Thee Moo?
