dNeero Facebook App Users Organizing

This is pretty cool and exciting. A couple minutes ago I learned that a dNeero user, Heather Macmichael, created a dNeero group in Facebook for users to work together to generate exposure and share ideas. And Brandon Wren was already in the group when I arrived! (He's always ahead of the curve!) There are about 28 members currently.

Last week-ish Kymm D pointed us to the dNeero About page and all of the people there who had left comments/questions. We responded to as many as we could and then continued to post new stuff there.

Users asked us for more updates and news. So we added the blog to the Facebook App and have been trying to post to it more.

It's fascinating to see users organizing and building a community around the tool. In a sense I worry that I'm not facilitating that community as much as I should. For example, I should have known to create a dNeero group for everybody. Having users drive the action is new. With my other attempt at a company, reger.com, there was little community. We have users (excellent users, btw, thanks guys and girls!) but we don't have as much self-organization.

Part of it is the fact that dNeero is running on top of Facebook. It gives people the quickly-accessible tools to collaborate. And part of it is the core model of dNeero which relies on both collection of opinions and the generation of exposure. People are smart and are filling the gaps by organizing.

So, after a 36 hour very painful development session, this is quite the boost and rather fulfilling. I've already heard from one user, Gina C, who had massive performance issues that the new code is "definitely better".
