This looks really cool and almost perfect. It would be great if they added the ability to link up other social networks such as StumbleUpon and Reddit. All in all though, this is really great and it is free, so you can't beat that.

Thanks for taking the time to test and review PeopleBrowsr.

Here are a few points that I would like to add:

1. Horizontal Scrolling: if you have a big monitor and don't like scrolling, you can resize your PostStacks and your Gallery tiles by sliding the 'Resize' tool (now hidden in the left hand panel).
To make the use of this feature faster and more clear, we are moving the 'Resize' tool to the footer of the page and adding a tool tip to it. Thanks for the heads up.

2. Links: the links displayed in the person's profile (PBID) come from the Google Social Graph.
You can also see all the links that your friends posted by clicking on the 'Links' button in the footer of anyPostStack.

3. Groups and Tags: tagging someone means adding him to a specific group. Eg: when I tag you as CNet, you are automatically added to my CNet group. Groups can be public or private.
Again, the feature is hidden in the left hand panel now and we're happy to change the UI to make groups more clear and easier to retrieve - many users suggested that the groups board should be in the 'MyGroups' drop down: we're working with our designers to provide this in the next days.

4. Performance: We're focusing on the performance and trying to make PeopleBrowsr faster and smoother in every release of our Alpha.

5. Feedback and Changes: The PeopleBrowsr development team is located in the US, Australia and Germany, working in different time zones to be responsive to feedback.
We have a Google Group http://groups.google.com/group/peoplebrowsralphatesters and the support of a lot of Twitter users: 'Live' tweets and messages from the community are being used to build the product in real time. The Alpha release is updated every day. This is the reason why we want the Alpha to be completely open: we're shaping PeopleBrowsr on the feedback that we have from theTwitterverse and we are very thankful to the Twitter community for this great help.

Thanks again for this review and suggestions,
Best,
Priscilla Scala
