Growth And Maturity

With Blellow now approaching 5000 users (per Mandi, Blellow's CEO), the community is really starting to grow and take shape. Some of the high profile social media folks are taking notice and beginning to contribute, which while adding to Blellow's legitimacy, does not completely define it, as many users have made quite a home on Blellow and are contributing not only to the main site, but to the blog as well.

I don't want to jinx it either, but there has been a tremendous lack of spam within the site as well. It may be because of the relative size of Blellow, but I think something built into the site itself has something to do with it as well.

The site officers have stated that things are finally approaching where they saw Blellow before the beta tag was removed, and with a few more additions, its hoped that Blellow will go fully operational in about six weeks. Whether there will be some giant public launch, I don't know, especially since a party as large as SxSw was the beta launch...it may be hard to top that, or the tweetup they cohosted recently.

  1. We've been watching carefully to make sure Spam doesn't invade our site, and so far so good.

    As far as topping our SxSW and Tweetup parties, that's always a challenge we're willing to take on!
