Year End Review 2008
It has been a great year at Review Fuse. It was just over a year ago when we started planning how to build a writing community where people could consistently receive quality critiques. While not every critique has met our standards, most of our members have rated the reviews they receive fairly high. For those of you who receive the occasional poorly thought out critique we apologize. We are trying to devise additional ways to consistently get you high quality critiques.
We launched version 1 of Review Fuse in July of 2008. Most of the founders looked at version 1 and said, that is not quite what we expected. So we put our noses to the grind stone and cranked out version 2 in late October, by ‘we’ I mean Steve, Josh, and Mike. This version has been very well received and it is the base for the current version of Review Fuse.
Recently, several people have asked me, how big is Review Fuse? My response to their question has been “compared to what?” In order to enable you to answer this question, I am providing a snap shot of the size of our community at the end of 2008.


We anticipate 300-400 new members will join our community each month during the first quarter of 2008. We appreciate everyone who has helped make this site a success. If you would like to join our expanding community please sign up.

Perhaps this has to do with the contest?

We had about 70 people join Review Fuse for the contest. The vast majority of our new users in December signed up to just use Review Fuse.

Because there were 70 contestants doesn’t mean that more than that were drawn to the site because of the contest. Congrats all the same
