In most of the previous posts about the growth in the Yumondo community, we’ve focused on the growth in the membership. (more…)

I was out Friday afternoon, so I missed the chance to post my usual end-of-week note. But here’s the update:

• Yumondo went from around 1500 members up to 1700
• The number of places on Yumondo is approaching 1000!
• The Yumondo community in Berlin is over 500 members
• We posted some new jobs at Metaversum

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Not much more to say than that. Yumondo is moving along nicely! (cross-posted on the Yumondo blog)

As usual, highlights from the past week at Metaversum:

• The Yumondo community grew from 900 to over 1300
• We kicked off (no pun intended) our table soccer tournament
• A couple of other really big pieces of news, which I can’t go into just yet. Suffice it to say, we’ll look back at this week as one that really set the company on a great path!

Thanks again for all your support, and we wish you all a great weekend!

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. And if there is anything we can do to make the experience easier and more enjoyable for you, please let us know. (cross-posted on the Yumondo blog)

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!

First, thanks to all who braved the weather to come to our office warming party last night! The weather at least lasted long enough for most to arrive, get a little look around, maybe grab some food and then get to shelter. Oh, and thanks to the event people who also kept the food and drink going until the rain just made it impossible, and then improvised a new location inside to keep serving.

For those who missed it, we had a good crowd, and we hope that you all enjoyed the food, beverages and our brief presentation. Jochen started the presentation with a little overview of Metaversum the company, then Mirko gave a bit more insight on Yumondo, and Gerrit talked very briefly about Force Sunrise and what that side of the house is working on. We gave a little sneak peek of our virtual world, and we even unveiled its name, Twinity. I’m not going to spill details here too much. You had to be there to get the insider’s scoop.

You can see pictures from the event over on Yumondo.
