Hey Guys!
Thanks for the Toluu review! Your fist instinct for pronouncing the site was correct, we call it “2″-”lou” like “skip to my lou”.
I am glad you found the site useful, we are working hard to make it better every day! As you mentioned we recently rolled out updates to the match system which have been a big hit.
To one of your points, you can see how many people subscribe to a feed in Toluu when you are looking at the feedpage, for instance http://www.toluu.com/feeds/114731626/subscribers
Thanks again, and if you need any more invites just let me know!

I fixed the URL in your comment for you. It now works as it should.
Thanks for the clarification on the name! You might think about adding that information to your FAQ.
Thanks for the comments and keep up the good work!
Hey, thanks for the mention of LugRadio. We’ve had a good run, I think, and you’re right that we’re trying to go out at the top of the game. Cheers, and best of luck with AlternaGeek
Thanks for the comment Stuart! I’ve listened to LugRadio for a couple of years and always enjoyed the show. It’s sad that LugRadio is going away but I do understand your decision. Good luck in your next ventures!
