Bye bye Beta! »

This morning, we took the Beta off of iReport.com!

We never thought we'd be able to do it so quickly, but thanks to you, the iReport.com community, our site has become one of the fastest growing online communities for user-generated content. You have truly fulfilled the promise of taking local stories to a global level and bringing global coverage to a local audience. Thank you for setting the bar higher than ever before for strong citizen journalism.

We've all been supported in this effort by an amazing team of developers and a first-rate iReport.com editorial group. Their hard work has enabled us to share this site with you -- and all of you have brought the content and conversation to a level we only could have dreamed of when we launched the site just six months ago.

Does the Beta coming off mean that we are done improving the site? No way!

We will be working constantly to evolve the site -- starting soon with a new mapping feature that we hope you will really like. And we will continue to solicit your thoughts and feedback as we aim to make the site better each day.

Thank you, again!

suggestion: is there any way that the webmasters or developers can change the smaller font color? I'm running Vista Ultimate, and so much of the Cnn.com/iReport pages have this super light-blue color that I can hardly make it out. Whatever you could do would be a huge help. Thanks and great work to your team!
