Blinkweb is Live! First 1,000 Signups Only

Posted by Noovy

If you’ve been looking for Blinkweb Launch news, here it is. Blinkweb is now Live! And it was open for new signups for a few minutes before it was capped off for load testing purposes. Brad and Matt Callen announced the Blinkweb Launch and within a few minutes had over 1,200 people signed up.

Sadly, I was not one of those 1,200 people. I stepped out to get the mail and by the time I got back to my desk, the Blinkweb Tester doors were closed. I shot a quick email to Matt Callen, like many other people did, and they explained:

Thanks for checking it out. I’m sorry about that, but the demand for
Blinkweb is very large. Over 20,000 people were told about Blinkweb the
instant it went live.

However, in just a couple more days we’ll have it PERMANENTLY open. Sign up
for the relaunch notification located on the bottom right hand side of the
homepage and you will be notified when Blinkweb is open permanently. It
should only be a couple days.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but in order to ensure that Blinkweb is
fully capable of handling the amount of users we expect, we needed to cap
the initial launch to 1,000 users.

I was able to check out some of the site however and it looks great, especially the Blinkweb Templates which have a very professional look to them, which is something I was concerned about. I look forward to the Blinkweb Re-Launch after their load testing is complete. That is a very important step and I’m glad the Callen’s decided to start off with a limited number of Blinkweb users.
