Well Review Chatter is up an running and in a beta state. The theme is about 85% final with only minor cosmetic changes left (hopefully 
).
The listings are coming along nicely. We have over 10 listings now for the Eye Care and Weight & Diet categories. Some of the listing summaries are done and all of the attributes have been entered. As we add more listing the attributes may fluctuate a bit for each category until we can figure out the right balance between general attributes shared by most listings and unique attributes shared by listings of the same type.
