"Does Oyogi make sense?" "Will people really use Oyogi?" "Is there something, useful here?" ... These are just a few of the questions we and you, our community, have asked for some time. Well, Yogis, I think we have our answer ... Pun Intended.
Yesterday, we learned that our first clear and very formiddable competitor had entered the space ... One thing is certain, there *is* clear power and magic in the interaction of human beings as they exchange knowledge, share ideas, and ask and answer questions. This power and magic intensifies as others are able to "overhear" or participate and enrich their own understanding, draw their own conclusions, or formulate their own enlightened questions.
This has and continues to be the inspiration for our humble crew - to help people find one another and to share knowledge --- all on a grand scale.
So, on to the competition ... In the 6th grade, I remember there was a bully who pushed a friend away from the water fountain as he was having a drink and took a cheapshot at him in the process. I also remember the rush of adrenaline that came over me as Benji and I chased him down the hall ... I think we all get that feeling from time to time, and its all the more powerful when you feel it as a group ... We just enjoyed a little dose today.
As the weeks and months unfold, we're going to see even more competitors enter the space. You, our Yogis, are our strongest assets and our most honest critics. We've developed a lot of really useful features, and you've told us that we've needed to re-think others -- we're working on it. In the next few days, we'll expose another release of Oyogi. It won't be perfect, but it will be better after having been refined based on your scrutiny. We continue to rely on you to tell us how to get it right, how to make Oyogi better. We're listening, and we're counting on you to help us chase the bully down the hall .... Ding, Ding, Round 1.
