Hello everyone! So much has happened over the last week and we want to keep you all updated with what’s going to be happening over the next few weeks.
Invites - We’re sending out the rest of our invitations today for payments that were submitted between Dec 4 at 3:45 PM PST and Dec 5th at midnight PST. If you sent a payment during that time period or earlier but don’t receive your invitation by later today, then a) check your spam folder! Yahoo and Hotmail in particular seem to like to filter our automated emails as spam, and then b) email us at [email protected] if you still haven’t gotten your invite. If you sent a payment after Dec 5th at midnight PST then we are aiming to send out your invite later this week.
Pillowfort Now Has Over 25,000 Users! To put this in perspective, at the beginning of this year we had only 4,000. The positive thing about the recent influx of new users is that the registration payments have given us more funding for developers and other expenses, which will result in a more robust infrastructure for the site in the near future. The unfortunate result in the meantime is slower load times as the site deals with the unprecedented amount of traffic. We realize that many users are coming to the site as an alternative to Tumblr, and we certainly hope that we can meet those expectations soon! Right now, Pillowfort is still a small team, and we hadn’t expected to have such a huge influx of potential users arrive on our doorstep all at once, so it will take us a little time to catch up. But rest assured we are working as hard as we can.
PR Assistant - Pillowfort is looking for a part-time public relations assistant to help us manage our communications with all our new and upcoming users! This person will primarily be responsible for helping us respond to inquiries through our social media accounts and email, and drafting our outreach materials. Pay will be around $15/hr and it is best if you live in the Austin, TX area. Please contact us at [email protected] if you’re interested.
