With our name change, we’ve moved our blog to Minekey.com. You can find the entire Minekey team blogging and sharing our passions at blog.minekey.com.
As announced on July 25, we have changed the name of iThink to Minekey.
Facebook users can check out the new face of the application by clicking here — and once there, don’t forget to click the applications link on your Facebook profile and bookmark Minekey.
Please note that we are only changing the name of the application. The user experience – the features, functions and design – will not be affected in any way. We will continue to use the same Favicon and Application images that you are familiar with, so finding Minekey (iThink) on your Facebook profile or in the App Directory should be easy. Once the change is made, any links or bookmarks that you have to iThink on Facebook, MySpace, hi5, Friendster, Orkut on your Profile will automatically be replaced by Minekey links and bookmarks. Your profile box, feeds, emails and notifications will continue to work as they have in the past, except that they will be named or received from Minekey rather than iThink – and you will always able to reach Minekey through these channels. Also, when you search the App Directories for Minekey you will be able to find it there as well.
I am confident that you’ll continue to enjoy the iThink experience under Minekey name. Happy Minekeying!
We’ve launched a new version of iThink on MySpace that we are excited about. The release includes a completely revamped look, faster load times, a people page that ranks users based on different types of activities: most followers, most opinions, voted most, and commented most. And it’s now easier for you to ask your friends if they agree / disagree with any opinion by sending them a message from within the application.

How to Get Your Opinion to the Top of Most Popular
Published February 29, 2008 Community Leave a Comment1. Make sure as many of your friends as possible have added the iThink application to their Facebook profile.
2. Write a really great, original, killer, possibly controversial but definitely unique opinion that everyone will find interesting to agree/disagree with. The most votes rises to the top!
3. Submit your opinion within a few hours of a new 24-hour cycle, which begins every day at 12 midnight GMT (7 pm EDT).
4. Use the iThink “share” link to share the opinion with all of your friends. Be sure to promise to vote on their opinions so their opinions can rise.
5. Watch as your awesome opinion gains momentum and starts to move ahead of the other not so hot opinions.
6. Message your friends again to make sure they have all voted. Offer to treat them to a beer if you get to the top!
7. Respond to any comments people make on the opinion’s wall to keep the conversation lively and interesting.
8. Make sure the iThink box is at the top of your Facebook profile page so that any friends or strangers who wander by will see your opinion and vote on it.
9. As the deadline approaches and you are neck and neck with the competition, invite more of your friends, your teachers, your family, even complete strangers to add the iThink app (if they haven’t already) and vote for your killer opinion.
10. If for some reason this strategy doesn’t work, there’s always tomorrow!
As iThink users on Facebook have already noticed, we’ve been closely listening to user feedback and working hard behind the scenes to bring you the newest version of iThink! We hope you like the changes and would love to hear what you think.
Here are just some of the improvements we made:
- We made it easier to browse categories by bringing category navigation to the right side in the form of a tag cloud. The relative size of the category also represents the popularity of that category.
- New notification area on top of the application where we be highlighting interesting opinions and topics.
- New iThink logo!
Stay tuned for even more over the next few weeks because we are going continue to improve the iThink experience on Facebook. Read the announcement here on Facebook.
