It would be fine and dandy for us to sit here in our shiny office tower and just tell you what new features we're planning for strongsmell.com. But we've never worked that way before, and a surging stock price isn't about to change that. We like to think that we've won your respect -- and the respect of the investment community -- by listening. By doing our best, every day, to provide the interactive experiences you want, at prices you can afford.

But to the point.

At a recent face-to-face session, many members told us that, while they loved the strongsmell.com shopping experience, they wanted a greater focus on practical information: on "news you can use," if you will.

Well, you know the strongsmell.com production team. We sprang into action, planning and building an astonishing array of new features. Here's a taste of what's coming:

1. An in-depth investigation into a food-safety issue that touches us all: the use of hormones in our dairy industry.

2. A special September feature: how to choose a school that's right for your child.

3. An online edition of Dear Abby, America's favourite advice column.

4. Horoscopes that really work!

5. Recipes for quick, delicious, low-fat meals.

6. Family-friendly movie reviews, along with a TV guide you can trust.

7. All this, plus the one feature we're sure you're going to love...
