Many of the coolest PeopleBrowsr features have been shaped by the PeopleBrowsr community.
Our development team, located in the US, Australia and Europe, works in different time zones to be very responsive to feedback.
Here are some of the functions that we implemented in the last weeks:

Why Jean fell in love with PeopleBrowsr
Grouping
I learned from @ValdisKrebs that I am a connector and a boundary spanner. So I was already using Twitter to follow people from many different networks that interest me. But it was getting hard to get what I needed from a single stream. PeopleBrowsr allows me to tag-group my different networks. When I am focused on a philanthropy project, I can give more attention to my philanthropy tag-group. As PeopleBrowsr grows, I can find other people that have been tagged with philanthropy too, growing my information guides and conversation partners. As a member of Guildsmiths.com, I grouped all the guildsmiths, so I can see what my collaborators are discussing. I can and have also sent messages to all the people within a group when I have an announcement, celebration, or link that I want a select group to be sure to see. (I can't wait to use this as a conference organizer!)

How a product/brand manager uses PeopleBrowsr
My name is Priscilla, I'm PeopleBrowsr product manager;
I'm interested in PB users' experience, ideas, suggestions, feedback and more.
I use PeopleBrowsr as a meta-tool, to monitor the PeopleBrowsr community and buzz.
Here is what I do:
Checking the buzz
I keep PeopleBrowsr running on my MacBook all day. I use it for work and for fun, mostly in Stream view.
Community Development
Here are some new great features to check out!@
johnfairley asked us for "Basically a shortcut to the search for "RT @
myusername" to see any
retweets for my tweets", so we created a special Report called 'People
Retweeting Me' for you to enjoy. Take also a look at 'Friends'
retweet' to see which of your friends have been
retweeted.

Thanks to all of you for using
PeopleBrowsr Alpha and for sending us great feedback.
We read all your tweets and all your messages and here is what we did in the last days:@ Tylergillies wrote: 'If there is a # hashtag in the post and the post gets split up due to length, put the # hashtag at the end of all post segments so all of the segments show up for # hashtag search'.
Done! Now, if there is a # hashtag in the post and the post gets split up, the # hashtag is replicated on both bits of the post.

Why I Love Twitter: Tim O'Reilly Mentions PeopleBrowsr
"New services like peoplebrowsr are reframing service aggregation in a richer way, as a way of learning more about the people you follow, browsing the social graph".Great post, Tim.
Thanks for mentioning PeopleBrowsr. We are delighted to be on the Oreilly Radar and to have your support.
PeopleBrowsr Alpha Launch by @Scobleizer
Today
Robert Scoble posted a video of PeopleBrowsr on
FriendFeed:
Big surprise and a bit of panic: we were expecting to launch next week.
Seconds after the
post, we registered a huge number of connections and we started getting a Tsunami messages, questions, comments both on Twitter and FriendFeed.
Launch at DemoPit and TechCrunch 50
We are proud to announce that PeopleBrowsr is live today.
For the first release of PeopleBrowsr we chose the TC50 conference and the Twitter gateway to owr site.'It makes Twitter Awesomer' told us all the DemoPit visitors who stopped at our booth and rewarded us with more than 200 votes for the best DemoPit application.
'Impressive', 'Lovely', 'Can I use it now?' were just some of the reactions.
'It makes twitter visually decadent' are already writing some bloggers who have seen the product at the conference.
Yes, you can use it, now.
Go to PeopleBrowsr.com and log in using your Twitter account. Easy.
We'll be delighted to have you on board.
Our Alpha0.2 is work in progress, it will be ready very soon.
