		<description><![CDATA[Hi Jitendra, thanks for writing about Others Online! You&#039;re right about our goal -- to reinforce the value of community across a user&#039;s entire online experience, well past the point of leaving a specific community Web site. But our initial goal is to promote bloggers to other relevant bloggers.

Because of how we&#039;re doing things a little differently, when we officially launch we&#039;ll be able to drive much much more traffic to a user&#039;s blog, Web site, pictures, resume, etc. One way to think of us is &quot;peer-to-peer targeted promotion&quot; for individuals. 

I&#039;d invite you to a sneak preview of our &quot;widget wizard&quot; but we don&#039;t work for wordpress.com yet. If you like, check it out at http://www.othersonline.com/widgets/wizards/ anyway? Because we&#039;re using a tagging-based approach, you can basically show anyone who shares those interest, or make up your own tag and just show your friends. Soon we&#039;ll also have an option where the widget will show you people contextually relevant to the page content.

Lots to do, and we&#039;re certainly not quite there yet, but we hope people will support us with their feedback while we work hard.]]></description>
