TipsIf you are the owner of a high traffic Hoop.la website, you might consider creating a temporary forum for your members to post any issues they are experiencing with the 2.0 upgrade.

Blog Post CommentLOL thanks Rexi! You guys already have some mandates about paid leave time anyway, right? I hadn't heard about Best Buy's recruiting concept regarding Twitter.
