    As usual, we’ve listened to what you had to say and implemented many of your suggestions and requests on Seeking Alpha.
     
    Redesigned Quotepages:
                We’ve totally redesigned our quote pages and added several new features and resources.   This page is now filled with information and links about the company and also has direct links to your articles, Instablogs, StockTalks and comments about the stock. We’ve even included a link to Twitter stock buzz and added the ability to filter MarketCurrents by tickers. You will also notice a new feature - a place for you to voice your company advice on this page (these also go out as StockTalks and will appear on our homepage). For instance, checkout the MSFT quotepage.
     
    New Spell Checker:
    Due to popular demand by our authors, we have created a Seeking Alpha spell checker. You can now quickly and easily check your spelling on comments, instablogs and StockTalks. 
     
    New Leaderboards:
    For a while now, we have featured our most active Instabloggers, StockTalkers and Commenters. To ensure the quality of our leaderboards, we now also feature our most influential users (as defined by the number of followers). 
     
    These leaderboards: Top Instabloggers, Top StockTalkers and Top Commenters are featured on the footer of every page on Seeking Alpha, including our homepage. To be featured on these new leaderboards you will need to have:
     
    Top Instabloggers: At least 2 posts within the past 7 days
    Top StockTalkers:   At least 10 posts within the past 7 days
    Top Commenters:   A high positive net rating on your comments
     
    The original leaderboards ranked by activity are still on Seeking Alpha. They are linked-to from the sidebar of the new leaderboards.
     
    More info on ETFs
    We have partnered with XTF to provide readers with even more ETF information on quote pages.   You are also eligible for a free trial to XTF’s premium service.
     
     
    Enjoy!
    We hope you enjoy these latest additions and, as always, we appreciate your feedback so that we can continue to make Seeking Alpha even better.

    Net comments could mean that you get credit for making popular comments. Shouldn't you look at total comments (positive and negative)

    Hi there,
    You are absolutely right, but we are doing exactly what you suggested already: An aggregate rank of a Commenter is positive comments minus negative comments. Check out the right side-bar on your "Comments" page.
    Best,
    Rita
