Thanks everyone, for your e-mails about NextBillion.net.  No, we haven't stopped blogging - far from it, in fact.  Actually, we're in the very late stages of a site re-design process, and we're working out the final few kinks with our servers and whatnot.

We've decided to hold off posting new content until we launch the new site, because we can't keep migrating our entire database over and over.  This SHOULD happen by Friday of this week, hopefully earlier.

When the new site goes live, expect to see a completely new user interface, a design overhaul, a new brand/logo (sneak preview above!) and some great features like popularity rating, easier commenting, related articles and dynamic search.  We've also eliminated some unpopular sections and added new ones - like Research, Career Center and Take Action - that you've been asking for.

More as we know it.  But for now, don't give up on us!  We're still blogging - just waiting for the new platform on which to continue the conversation.

Thanks!
Rob, Francisco and the NextBillion.net Team
