Reaching the far end of the world

One of the most exciting things in building a community website is that you can never know where are you going to set your footprints at.
You start by sending few emails to your contacts in the US and in your local mainland and somehow after few weeks you start getting support emails written in Spanish, Finnish French and more.
Since we launched our first buzz campaign on January we created a network of several hundreds of potential users for our first community around the world. We sent invitation to the US and Israel only and we saw how the “wild fire” spreads out to Europe Asia and the far east.
Few weeks ago we launched our first beta community. The growth percentage looks really good and from the US we span now all over the world.
These days we are facing issues that we never thought we will face so soon. It looks like most of our members are excited having a lobby to submit their testimonials and read others posts. Now they can discuss their issues with their colleagues in a forum and I wonder if the language barrier will stand between them or will it be the connecting glue.
Last week we got a very nice email from a lady in Berlin. She signed up to uNikNet and couldn’t resist to email us encouraging us to keep up the good work. Another lady from Israel found us on the internet and requested to be invited, we sent her an invitation and apparently she has a very good influence on our future members in turkey and all over the world. It is so fun to know that people you don’t even know, want to use what you created and endorse others to use it as well.

I am a dedicated reader of blogs, especially VS's blogs. following Mazen Arabi's post called The most common mistake entrepreneurs make about entrepreneurs wanting to start a business instead of wanting to solve a problem, came the article by Kevin Efrusy from Accel talking about consumers based website and the way to "Catch and Keep" like Josh Kopelman once said in his blog. I now strongly believe we are changing peoples habits and by that we make them stay!

P.S
At the TWS post I posted a while ago, I mentioned the contest for the people’s favorite’s startup. We won a Google refrigerator (See pic) and a voucher for Google Adwords. Thanks Google guys and Yami and Yaron
