I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of a project that is developing something that I've wished had existed years ago. A place for webmasters to come and work, and a tool to help me do one of the most important tasks in my day-to-day.

I'm not sure how I fumbled into the role of being the "face" of the LB Dev team, but I certainly am grateful for it. I definately feel up to the task of being the link between you the user, and the dev team.

We have many upcoming features that will only expand LinkBIGGER to soaring new heights of protection and ease of use, but of course we are fans of the "collaborative mind" or what's been dubbed as "Mass Collaboration" - Many minds are better than a few, and therefore we encourage you to constantly post your wishes in the suggestions forum, and your bug reports in the bug reports forum. This will only help to make a tool that better serves the  webmaster community as a whole.

 We look forward to collaborating with all of you, whether you have a small feature request, a little idea, or a massive feature that you'd even like to help develop.

Development of anything is never easy...and as a first post to the dev blog here at LinkBIGGER.com I decided to pay a little hommage to one of the various methods we here in the LB offices to jolt our team members awake when they start to complain about sleep deprivation.

Coffee? Energy Drinks? A swift kick to the face?

No! Steve Ballmer!
