Hi, Thanks for your email, member support forwarded me your message. I'm media relations director but I also spend time working on development and design for new Weblo releases. I can tell you we are working hard right now on increasing the interactivity and social networking elements of Weblo so that future improvements will lead to more daily interaction and deal making between members (more like facebook and monopoly combined). Also we are very close to releasing a new feature that will allow all members to contribute content to each others' asset sites. Sort of like a wiki style platform. i.e. if you owned South Dakota I could upload my video of my visit to Mount Rushmore or upload some pics or write comments about South Dakota. We believe this collaborative approach will make Weblo assets much more interesting to visit and provide wiki type information but with the difference being that the owner of the asset will make money from all the traffic. We will put out a Latest Developments posting on this topic when it is ready to release.
Membership continues to grow steadily, we now have over 92,000 and we are on pace to hit 100,000 by the end of the summer or sooner.
Rocky Mirza is fully in charge as he has been since day one. He works directly with the tech team responding to feedback and ideas we get from members and initiating changes that he believes will help the site continue to grow.
I have attached a Q and A I did with another member, it may answer some of your questions as well. It was done in March so the numbers (memberships, cities etc) are below current levels.
Thanks again for your comments and any ideas you have would be appreciated. We are currently looking at member ideas we received after a recent latest development posting and selecting the best ideas to implement into future designs.
