SxSWi Day 3: TechCrunched
Yesterday was a busy day at the Trade Show. After a busy night out with the FriendFeeders, I was looking forward to a relaxed day and to spread the word about Blellow and get us some traffic.
We received a lot of positive responses and around 5pm TechCrunch posted a glowing review of our site:
To paraphrase Cracker, what the world needs now is another web-based Interactive micro-content production community like I need a hole in the head. But strangely enough, I think the world needs Blellow
Since the article was posted we received over 1000 new users joining up to the site and a lot of great feedback and positive comments. Our heads were spinning and we were excited to get featured on such an influential blog.
After the show closed I decided to take a night off from the festivities and give my liver a chance to recover, so I headed back to my cousin’s house in Round Rock and enjoyed the night sitting on my duff and watching TV. I actually managed to stay off the computer for a whole hour before I broke down and borrowed they laptop to check the new user numbers. Around 11pm we broke 2000 users!
Today is the last day of the Trade Show with the Mashable Mash Bash tonight at 9:30pm, where Blellow is a sponsor. It’s going to be a very late night for me, as we also have to tear down the booth and pack everything back up. Tomorrow I’m going to try to sit in some of the seminars before making the trek back to San Antonio.
