New Extension of Global Exec Initiative

Me2everyoen has surpassed 206,000 members this morning. Today they gave another blog entry about the Global Executive Initiative. They seem to be extending the deadline for it. Now, I am a fan of Me2everyone, but if there was one thing that jumped out at me and made me think that this could possibly be some sort of elaborate ponzi scheme, this would be it. They are selling premium Executive memberships which offer additional benefits. This is all before any of us really know hoe the site will work.

They are basically asking people to blinding invest into the company in which they tell us very little about. I'm all for taking the free shares and referring friends, but if you begin spending money on Me2everuone when you have no clue what exactly it will be, then you may be setting yourself up for trouble. There are a lot of people who seem to have a unbiased view on this program, and I recommend you follow them. One is the Profiles Blog post. Just be careful with Me2everone. It's having explosive growth, and looks promising, however when companies like this start seeking money it makes me a bit nervous.

We've already had a fantastic response to the launch of the 'Global Exec' initiative. However many members felt the deadline was too tight and have asked for more time. With the m2e population growing so rapidly we felt it only fair to keep the GE opportunity open for a little longer.
So would you like to...

'earn an attractive income.'
'create and evolve huge sections of the m2e world.'
'challenge our Directors.'
'provide clarity of thought.'
'provide an insight into local culture.'
'share lessons from your business and life experiences.'

Me2Everyone Email Verification Coming

Since the launch of me2everyone, the site had email issues, so it was nearly impossible for the administration team to verify each and every email address without having an extraordinary amount of legwork needing to be done. Therefore, noones email address's are verified. Starting next week, they will have a new email verification process in effect, allowing the adminstrators to quickly verify the email addresses of all 176,000+ members. Here is the blog post they made on the 21st


VERIFICATION
Date : 21st February, 2009

When the new email server comes online, we are going to make the move towards verified emails for members. To be honest, verifying emails has been a nightmare in the past, but now we've learned how to ensure emails reach 99% of all addresses: it's time to introduce it for new members.

This is just another way to ensure the integrity of our membership.


This will work on 99% of accounts, meaning the others may have issues that will have to be resolved manually.

15,000 Members per day

That's right guys, Me2everyone is averaging over 15,000 new members per day. The site is growing at an extraordinary rate. The crazy thing is that the growth rate is exponential. The more people there are, the more people that will tell their friends. I think this concept may actually work if Me2everyone has a killer script.

Looks like they will soon be upgrading a ton of stuff. Here is an exert from their latest blog entry on February 20th:

On average a new member joins me2everyone once every 6 seconds! Not bad for a website that still hasn't launched. And to be honest, this is what I wanted to talk about today...

We agree that m2e is boring.
We also agree that we need to bring the improvements online ASAP.

However we also want to make this website stable. Yesterday, for example, the website suddenly froze. Why? Well, it seems that all the load was on one server (we have 3) and some coding had not been optimised. We found this, fixed it and hopefully you are not experiencing any problems with speed. That fixed, we noticed that an admin based counter has stopped working properly. We need this more in the Beta website than here, so it won't affect you too much.

So the improvements we are making are centred more on the Admin features just now: getting the engine "souped" up a bit :) We've also started looking at leased line options today, upgrading the RAM to 8GB per server and even adding more processors.

So here is our schedule:

1. Optimise the database coding
2. Improve the server performance
3. Start to change the front-end
4. Build the new Beta features for the members' area
5. Test, monitor and fix as we go
6. Introduce the main graphics engine for the "FULL" website
7. Open up the m2e advertising & business member channels

Now we want to achieve all this over the next 6 to 8 weeks. OK, it's a little slower than we wanted, but with 158,000 members after 6 weeks the team know we have to get this perfect to ensure growth this year beyond 5m people.

Oh, sorry about the slow-down in news updates this week. We've done a little internal re-organisation, hired new lawyers and been training our customer care people.


I'm getting rather excited. It's amazing that a website can get 160,000 sign ups in under 6 weeks. I would not be surprised to see 1 million more members in the next 6 week. It's funny the Profiles blog writer was signup #74. That gives you an idea how fast this has grown.

Me2everyone - The Swan

This is the latest update from me2everyone. They are comparing the company to a swan because, although it looks like nothing is happening on the outside, people are working hard behind the scenes.

THE SWAN
Date : 13th February, 2009

A few people are worried that we've promised the BETA version, but nothing has happened. Well, once upon a time a lady called Jenny Butler said:

"The company is like a swan. All graceful a serene on the surface, but paddling like mad underneath"

EMAIL SERVER

We decided that the most important aspect was to fix errors and improve the background admin first. Then, when we introduce the new features they are going to work so much better. To give you a better example, yesterday we bought another server - one dedicated to sending bulk emails to our members. It's being configured now and once live, we will be able to email a newsletter to every member once a week.

IMPROVED SUPPORT

We have also decided to improve the customer care feature by creating a Ticket-based system. This means that anyone with the right admin clearance can read the problem history and answer accordingly. Expect this in a few weeks.

FAX NUMBER

We also have a fax number 0845 280 2197 (UK) or +44 845 280 2197 (international)

CODING QUALITY

We are retaining a few web-based experts in the realms of PHP programming and website security. This will give us a new UK-based quality control procedure, ensuring that any code is cleaned up before it’s published. This reduces errors and problems down the line.

To recap - although you cannot see many changes on the surface of the web page, there is a lot of work being done in the background. Things will start to change soon...
