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.

Visit our MySpace application to see all the improvements!

We’ve just launched new features on iThink on Facebook that makes it much easier to share opinions and read those of friends.

1. 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.
