Viximo Launches on We’re Related Facebook App

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

File this away under the recently non-vacant “Emails From a Product Manager I’m Glad I Read” label. From one of our PM’s, Melanie “Grandma” Butcher:

“I’m pleased to announce that a new publisher has gone live today. We’re Related is a genealogy Facebook application with over 330k visitors per month and over 14 million installs. To put this in perspective, they have twice as much traffic as Birthday Calendar, our next biggest publisher.”

So there ya have it. In one day we double the amount of exposure each one of your items can receive. Publisher sales and trend data for We’re Related will be available soon inside the Creator Community.

Join Viximo at the Virtual Goods Summit (and I’ll give you a hug)

Monday, October 6th, 2008

The much anticipated* Virtual Goods Summit is this Friday in San Francisico.

The whole sha-bang is about virtual goods, the markets they’re creating and all the awesome that surrounds it.

The fine folks over at the VGS have extended us a promo code for Viximo blog readers for 10% off the ridiculously priced $449 entry fee with the promo code “VIXIMO”. So there ya go. One day, $400-something bucks. This is great if you’re a website considering virtual goods or a competitor attempting to do what we’re doing.** Sign it up here.

Assuming most of the people who read this blog are creators though, you probably got an invite to the Viximo meetup the day before. $4 THOUSAND dollars worth of awesome, free to you.

It’s good to be on the supply side of things, eh?

* Much anticipated because we’re officially launching there.  Also, because I personally have never been to San Fran.
** If you’re a competitor trying to do what we’re doing, give up now. Not only do you stand no chance of overcoming the awesome we’ve created, I control a band of squirrels in our back yard that will show up and annoy all the women at your competitive office. What? You have no women working there? SNAKES.
