Man oh man oh man what a week!

Wow, what a week it’s been! We launched exactly one week ago and the response has been incredibly positive. A few hours after we launched on Sunday December 10, Techcrunch posted a story about us here. We held our breath and waited to see the traffic coming in by the droves. Within seconds we could see the first user come to the site and register! It sounds somewhat silly to say but there really isn’t anything more exciting than watching this product you’ve built from scratch come to life before your eyes. By the end of the night we had over 100 registered users. Over the last week we’ve also been mentioned on a number of great blogs including:

All this great attention means that we now have over 1,000 registered loopnote users! We’re happy about the coverage, the number of visitors, but probably most of all we’re happy that people are really “getting it” right away. They understand this as an easy way for people to “stay in the loop”. In a way, loopnote lets everyone easily publish their own mini-blog. It only takes a minute to create a loop. Subscribers then have a lot of flexibility because they can subscribe via sms, email, im or rss. This takes the typical “subscribe to my rss feed” thing a whole lot further. Also, because of the “alerts” focus of the product, only the most important stuff is sent out. What you end up with is a collection of “loops” containing only the most important information on any number of topics you want to stay in the know about. You can subscribe and unsubscribe from any of these loops without going through the hassle of joining a group. You also don’t have to worry about giving your personal information to anyone else because we keep everything private for you.
