The Social Rewards points system was removed with the launch of the new site. We realize the end of it was a bit disappointing for some members, but we fel that the change was necessary to improve the overall quality of the site in the long run.

As for our reasoning, we feel that members who are truly interested in interacting with their friends and followers through the posting of interesting questions and topics will continue to do so without any issues. Many of those who were just "looking for points" ended up posting many, many mindless topics for the sake of quantityover quality.This became unmanageable for us and we decided that the initial goal of social reward points-increasing qualitycontent-had actually had the opposite effect. Furthermore, never in our discussion onthis importan issue did Toluna discuss the cost of this program nor any other monetary issues. We only consideredwhat was right for the community.

I want to emphasizethat you can earn points by completingsurveys found on Toluna.com. or through invites you receive via email, through sponsored polls and even by inviting friends to join (once your friend has registeredwith us, you will receive 500 bonus points.)

We thank you for being a member of our online panel and for your continued dedication!

Kind regards,
Carrie Summer
