“Our record number of new users follows seven straight months of growth so, while this isn’t a surprise, it is exciting. April registrations continued the trend so we also expect a positive second quarter,” stated Follr Product Lead Mark Wayman. He added “With the current fragmented approach to content we are now able to see the combined results of aggregation and fresh, on topic content, something that has always been central to our value proposition.”

  • Protect their brand
