Hey guys and gals,

We rolled out some new features today that were some small changes and additions. For example, now when you're browsing profiles, you can get a quick glance at some of their friends, as well as their avatars. You've probably seen something like it before on other sites, and we really liked it, so we thought we'd add it.

Another cool thing we threw in is now on the home page, which is our Latest All-Stars feature. We're now taking the nine hottest Pickrs in the last 48 hours and throwing your avatar up on on the home page (right below the Pickr of the Week, of course)!

In addition to this new stuff, we did make some tweaks and removed a couple of things to try and speed up the site, but they were pretty subtle.

Hope everybody is having a good week, and if you haven't told all your buddies about Picktastic yet, make sure you send out that mass e-mail everbody loves to receive with pictures of kittens dangling from chandeliers and they'll be sure to come sign up to pick against you. If they don't like sports, you could even try and bribe them with potato chips. I mean, look at Creel. The dude doesn't even like sports and he's hooked!

In other news, I totally spaced the Video of the Week last week, but I think the timing for this week's winner couldn't be better. This week's Video of the Week goes to stever for his video of San Diego Supercharger anti-Patriot spreading mojo. We can all agree that the banged-up Bolts will need to bust out all of the voodoo they can to even have a shot this weekend in this weekend's AFC Championship.
