Thanks to the continuing awesome feedback from our fabulous early alpha testers, we have some really solid changes being rolled out over the next week.

When we've rolled them out and we do another quick round of testing (just in case), I get to start sending those alpha invites out to the multiple of thousands of people who continue to email me, patiently waiting to give Riya a whirl!

I will also post a complete list of the upgrades on this site fyi...I'm really excited about them. We have changes to the identity issue (Munjal discusses it here), the Riya desktop client, the 'look and feel' (so it looks more like the Search Engine it is), some AJAX functions to make it even more usable (go Dan go!), and re-implementing public search....oh...and the Firefox version may not be as far away as we originally thought...;)

Even so, reviews are coming out and they are looking good! Thanks to David, Lex, Patrick, Tejas and Abbas! Thanks for your patience with us!
