Watt bump day

by matt - June 17th, 2008

Dermontti DawsonIn honor of the 43rd birthday of Dermontti Dawson, soon-to-be hall of fame center for the Pittsburgh Steelers, we’re celebrating by giving 2000 watts to each community member.

Like Dawson, who made 7 straight Pro Bowls, the Kluster community is filled with all-stars. Since launching NameThis (and as of this blog post), you have proposed 9,030 names and invested 870,000 watts.

Thanks.

We’d also like to thank you for all of your feedback as we build out more exciting features for NameThis, Knewsroom, and the rest of the Kluster portfolio. We have some great things planned and can’t wait to roll them out. Stay tuned.

And one last thing, everyone rush out and grab the latest and greatest browser, Firefox 3. Today is download day and not only can you participate in setting a Guinness Book record by downloading it, it’s also the nicest thing you can for every friendly web developer in your life.

Barry ManilowUPDATE: I didn’t realize but I’ve now been made aware that today is also Barry Manilow’s birthday. We here at Kluster, especially Ben, couldn’t let the opportunity pass by. Everyone has received an additional 195 watt bump for Barry Manilow’s 65th birthday. 195 watts because he’s 3 times the man of any of you.

    Thanks, 2000 watts goes a long way!

    Cool — thanks!

    First and by far most importantly, Happy B-Day Barry Manilow!

    Secondly thanks for the watts, much appreciated :)

    Thirdish I’m still wondering when the blog post is coming on loading our kluster cards. Nobody’s comments concerning this have been answered. If it’s a secret, just pass it on to my email, and I won’t tell a soul, I promise ;)

    Fourtherather 30 minutes and counting until FF3 downloading begins. It’s slated for 10:00am San Francisco (the city by the bay) time. Oh make that 29 minutes.

    re: kluster cards… We are just finalizing all the code necessary to integrate with payoneer’s systems. We will do a blog post in a few days with instructions on how to load your card.

    @Ben: *manly bear hug* Sounds good, thanks for the update.

    @Team Kluster: I am going to try something a little different with Knewsroom tomorrow, I think it may be more along the lines of your original vision. Can’t tell you more right now, they are watching me, always watching.

    The kluster guys are “Fanilows”? That’s cool.

    When I’m reading others comments, I’m finding it hard to figure out what topic they’re posted under so that I can read the entire comment. It would be great to be able to click through to the full comment. Maybe we already can and I just haven’t figured it out yet?

    That’s cool, thanks.
