Engagement? 10 weeks, 134 students analyzed:
5,376 entries
8,151 comments
5,232 "likes”
199,853 words - average of 1,491 each, not including private messages
~15% of students continued to use the service more than one month after the end of assessment - considerable increase from other tools (<1%)

A work in progress
• Search not working (apart from people)
• No groups like Friendfeed Groups/Facebook pages - you can't join someone else's circle
• No tagging (yet)
