Through the 1,000 mark

Today we pushed on through past the 1,000 membership mark. This is a significant milestone for the community. A key part of this phase of development was to check that we could do all the bits we wanted to without crashed and disruption. It’s gone better than we expected, and although there are still a whole lot more features we want to develop and offer, we now know we can do that in a scalable way and without disrupting service. We’ve got to this point because of a lot of hard work by the team, but there is one thing that has really been encouraging for everyone and helped a lot, and that is the enthusiasm of people who have seen YourSpins and wanted to get involved. This includes artists, members, bloggers: so, a big thank you to you all – you know who you are. Let’s keep welcoming new people and keep making the site a great place to spend some time. We don’t want to look too far ahead, but there are some great acts coming…. the more music we get, the more members will come and the snowball will continue to gather momentum. So, for everyone whose enthusiasm has helped get this going, we will be aiming to please you by making a great site with a broad mix of great music…. Thanks
