Yumondo: Urban Stylesharing. Blog

One of the great things about Yumondo is that it lets you share all the cool places you know and love. But just for fun, how about a discussion about your absolute favorite spot? I’ll start:

It’s this restaurant.

By now, you’re probably getting a bit bored of seeing me posting Yumondo membership statistics all the time. But I do it for a reason - for us, it’s something to celebrate. We see every new member sign-up as validation for the concept. And we truly believe in the network effect. With each new member, with each new place, event or item, Yumondo becomes that much more valuable to all the community members. So contribute and help the members around you and around the world. They’ll help you in return.

I’ve been thrilled with the international members that we’ve managed to get on Yumondo. While we have our largest concentration of Yumondo members in Berlin, we also have some small, but growing pockets, in other places. (more…)

It’s a big day for us. Today, Yumondo reached crossed 1000 members. While this number isn’t on the order of magnitude that you may see with MySpace, Facebook and the like, to us at Metaversum and to the Yumondo team, it tells a powerful story. When we see such demand to join the site, during a closed beta, it tells us that we’re on to something, and that we’ve started building a platform that our members enjoy, appreciate and really benefit from!

For the next 12 days, until July 2, you´ll have the chance to win a really nice new smartphone. To be able to start discovering new places, events, things together with your friends, everyone has 11 free invites now.

Another day, another 100 members on Yumondo! Thanks again to all those who are helping to make Yumondo a success. Keep it going! (cross-posted on the Metaversum blog)

Heating up the summer with a great rooftop party can be an exciting event in a place like Berlin. After most of the guests at the Metaversum office warming had some delicious food and after the last slides of the presentation, the sky suddenly broke lose with a famous summer storm. The party moved inside and the talks intensified around the remaining drinks and snacks while it was pouring outside. The new platform got lots of good responses and plenty of fresh yumondo users enjoyed tasty beats and drinks until late into the night.

OK, so it took two days this time, but we’ve got our next 100 members on the system. I think we crossed 800 about an hour ago, and we’re now approaching 810. Thanks again to everyone in the community! Use your invites and share your styles! (Apologies for cross-posting at the Metaversum blog)
