making friends and meeting people is that cyclic?

after the offical launch on sept 30th we the buddystumbler team met a couple of weeks back to review where we are and what we need to do next. would you believe that after one year of work, this is the first time we actually got together in person for some celebration!!!

we celebrated what we have achieved so far. it's been a great journey, where we have all learnt a lot and provided value to the user community. we talked about the definition of success and whether buddystumbler has been a success. we concluded that yes we have succeed in what we set out to achieve. buddstumbler has successfully created connections between members of the buddystumbler community. users have made friends and even some love connections. as a buddystumbler user told me once, "it was much easier to meet my boyfriend in person after several online chat sessions since we had already established an online connection"

are people constantly looking to make friends and meet people, or is this cyclic? the answer is clearly no. on buddystumbler we see people come online to establish new connections and friendships. they meet someone they are interested in and then they go away hoping to focus on the recent connections. after all the power of buddystumbler is enabling chat which users do using their favorite IM client. hopefully those connections work and sustain, otherwise people come back and look for new friendships.

we are thankful for the opportunity to help you make friends and meet people for hopefully lasting relationships/connections.

so go ahead stumble upon friends whenever you feel like, buddystumbler is here to serve you.
