Blogging from 38,000 feet

Hi everyone -- I'm Michelle, the project manager for i'll go!.

I'm taking a break from singing along with in the inflight movie, Mamma Mia, to write you an update about our i'll go! "deadline".

First: barely a week after announcing the application, already over 30 organizations have signed up as i'll go! members! (If you're reading this and haven't signed up yet, now would be a great time to get started....)

If you have signed up: thank you! Have you started entering your events yet?

Our planned launch date (when the Facebook-using masses will be able to access the application) is Monday, November 17. That's why we've set the “deadline” for Wednesday the 12th -- we want to make sure there's an impressive amount of great offers in the system so that anyone searching is sure to find something that interests them.

(Of course, you’ll be able to continue to add events at any time after we launch, too.)

So take this as a little nudge from me to get started -- and of course, contact me if you ever need anything. I'll be back later this week to answer some questions.
