BitShares is still a critical part of our vision at Follow My Vote (and I am working every day to get our software to a point where it can do useful and interesting things on BitShares). Right now I am actively working on implementing the integration between our voting app and the BitShares blockchain (though I need some help getting integrated with the BTS web wallet family), but it's slow going since I'm mostly coding alone right now.

Once we have usable software, we plan to drive as many users as possible to the BitShares platform via our software and services. Initially, they probably won't have any idea what BitShares is or how to use it, but we've got some UIAs on BitShares (see VOTE and MERIT) that our users will hold (within our software), and we plan to write some docs on how to buy or sell those assets in the BTS exchange which will introduce our users to the wider world of BitShares at the point that they have a need which it fills.

It is our belief at Follow My Vote that what BitShares needs most right now is a self-contained, useful app running on its platform. We intend to provide that app.

That being said, once again, I need some help to get the BTS web wallets ready for integration with our app, to provide our users with the easiest transition from only knowing about FMV's software to using BTS directly. And I'll also take all the help on our own software that I can get; it's all open source on GitHub, and we reward contributions with MERITs! :)
