8800 Users

The majority of our 8800 users have registered since the launch of international in October, and at this rate we will reach our goal of 10,000 new user registrations earlier than our projected date in late December. Our users are from all over the planet, with China making up the largest portion at the present time. It is a great feeling to be able to pull up the administration screen and see all the different country codes represented at any given hour. I often wonder who is calling who, and hope that our service helps make calling easier for people that have struggled with high rates and hassle in the past. Overall what we have going is a really good thing, we just need to figure out a way to get into the black!

We are working on a couple of different revenue ideas at the present time, and our goal is to be breaking even + living money by the new year. I think our trip may throw a couple wrenches in that deadline, but once we make it to our holiday destination we should be able to settle in and start right back up where we left off. And really, is a life without tools being thrown at you one really worth living? So for right now I have been focusing on obtaining and researching advertisers as well as alternative revenue models, and Butterfinger has been working on some back end issues, creating a user forum, and working on marketing with yours truly.

Everything with the startup is coming together, just as everything in our house is being broken and infested by rats. I would not go so far as to say it is Peaches and Cream, but more like Peaches and Meatloaf.
