Just a few words about our GOLD sponsors: These are ALL our favorite tools that we use on a regular basis, so we decided to give you a chance to use them more free as well! Let’s all thank @BuzzSumo, @paper_li, @Cyfe, @Shareaholic and @usertesting for their AWESOME support!

2. New features

• Writers’ database! MyBlogU rank reflects how much useful insight you have provided to our members, so why not use it to give you more exposure? As the first step we have created the new database where the writers can get featured. We will then be marketing it and promoting to generate some leads for you. We’ll also give away monthly prizes to most active and useful writers! To get included, please complete this form (it’s on your profile)

Wow! @myblogu's writers database tool to help writers get leads & gives away monthly prizes to its "most active & useful writers" #myblogu

• Media gallery! We haven’t announced that officially yet but we added eBooks and Videos (with infographics already being there). The plan is that when we build our WordPress plugin, we’ll suggest related media whenever someone is composing a post giving you more exposure! If you have any digital assets (videos, infographics, eBooks), please add them to our gallery now!

Don't stop there, Ann! @seosmarty #myblogu
