Sumo sounds like a great tool, but I believe I will hold off for a while. I'm still trying to get my website up the way I would like it and I have no budget right now for things like this. I'm thrilled that Jaaxy is now a part of WA because it was a tool I was hoping to be able to afford. I want to get familiar with everything that Jaxxy can do before moving on to other programs or apps.
I do appreciate that you bring all the information to all of us about these different programs. I know where to go if I need more information, that's for sure!

Sumo is awesome - I'm just starting to harness its power to grow my email list, and slowly but surely, it's starting to result in collections. They are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Growing targeted email lists is huge for getting that repeat traffic back to our niche blog(s). Their social sharing buttons are nice as well.

Awesome Jason,
