   To be fair, you should inform your readers of other reviews, like :
   http://demogirl.com/2008/08/26/socialu-where-social-networking-sites-live/
   or:
   http://mashable.com/2008/08/26/socialu/

   ... and we did a little bit more than wrap the browser, but meh.

   James, been on here since it was freshairapps, love the site. My other app, Doomi got a ton of traffic from you so thanks in helping that spread.

   You should check out DemoGirls screencast for a better understanding as to what socialu does, she pretty much nailed it. It’s a lot more than just a wrapped browser :)

   Also, socialu is in beta. Looking at readwriteweb’s screenshot, the main navigation toolbar did not show on login (really unfortunate for us :( It’s a known bug we’re trying to fix.

   Anyways, hope you take another look at it. Also, I couldn’t find your name on socialu, did you register with James?

   Later :)

   John & Jesse,

   Many thanks for your comments and the other review links you posted.
   John, I’m glad you got some good traffic for the Doomi app from here, I liked it.

   Firstly, I don’t publish reviews on all of the apps that get submitted to RefreshingApps. I get a lot of submissions and try to choose a good balance of design, tech, UX, features etc.

   I linked to the news item as it had similar views to myself, and I did end it by saying make your own mind up.

   I didn’t mean to cause any offense and I can appreciate the work you have put into the project and wish you every success in the future.

   So I will plan in a review of your application to place into the showcase, so others can give their opinion and comments too.

   Best regards James
