Opinion Received: Shhhhhh….!

Dear Shouters,

We heard you loud and clear. Whispers should be quiet, really really quiet. As such, we have added into our priority pipeline to modify the whisper function. So in the future, when you whisper, no one is going to hear you except you and the person you whisper to. We believe this can have a huge impact where it is now practically the same as if you open up a separate MSN channel and chat with your fellow Shouters.

While we are on the subject of the whisper function, we want to reinforce that your whisper is safe. We (Elise and Lasker) have not and will not view your whispers. This is exactly the same as your MSN messages, Gmail messages, private messages within forums and also your private mails in Facebook. Technically, all of the owners of those systems will be able to view your messages. But we need you to trust us that we do not. Your trust is very important and it will be foolish of us to disregard that trust. We do not have a special webpage that will display all whispers or anything private, for that matter.

We would like to thank you for your opinions about the Whispers. Now that we have getting a newer and more powerful servers, we have also decided to try out what we call Shouters Guided Development (SGD). Where we will post up 2 or more choices and what you decide will be our very next development work. I believe this will be fun because whatever you vote on, will be created within a week or 2! So stay tuned because you should not miss out this opportunity!

Cheers,
Lasker and Elise
