Do companies ever launch BEFORE their target date? YES!

We have worked non-stop, day and night, over the last 7 months to build www.viewpoints.com. And now the big day is upon us. I cant believe it. I also cant believe we actually set the site live last night. What? Yes. We launched the site last night-- 2 days early!! Does that ever happen? Do technical teams ever blow away a deadline? No. Never. But our rockstar tech team proved it can be done.

This moment is pretty surreal actually. I have been talking blindly about a site for so long. I have made promises and built hopes. I have told people of a site I am helping to build that is focused on real peoples experiences-- with no pretense, a welcoming community and smart people/writers. And, today, the world gets to see it.

While its not perfect, it is pretty awesome to see it up and live. I am excited about today but even more excited about tomorrow, a month from now and 5 years from now. I think we built something great and differentiated that can truly stand the test of time. Oh, and it feels good to be there too!

So, the promises and hopes of a new and improved review experience still stand. Now, it is all about delivery!

If you havent checked us out yet, head to www.viewpoints.com. Ill meet you there! Im addicted.

This is the absolute truth (Sat Nam - truth is my essence:) Jolie and anyone reading this.

I have been writing online for 7 1/2 years and bought two digital cameras in that time. Neither were from reviews at those sites. Yesterday I read a short, to the point review and today I went to look at it in Circuit City. My husband is buying it online. All I wanted to know was how the pictures were and if it was for a person who loved taking pictures. So thanks!! jo
