Minti Update

Filed in archive Using Social Software by pete on August 30, 2006

Minti is an online social community for Parents that I wrote about previously. They provide advice by parents for parents. Clay Cook, the CEO and Founder shot me a quick update, which was perfect. I don't think I could rewrite it better. So, I am quoting his email.

Minti is now out of Beta. Press release here.

Minti has expanded its feature set dramatically since launch and now includes...

Add your response to Minti Update: Response from: Clay Cook Hi Pete, Thanks for doing a blog post on us. The Alexa stats that are very interesting are the page view stats, see http://www.alexaholic.com/minti.com+families.com+clubmom.com+parenting .com+kaboose.com Regards Clay Response from: Mark Brooks This is about as good a target demographic as you can find for a social networking niche. Great choice. Ultimately social networking will follow the same trajectory as internet dating and will niche out. The large players will still rule the roost but niches are inevitable. Looks like you're pulling ahead of parenting.com. How are you promoting the site Clay? Or, I should say, how are you gently encouraging moms to spread the word? Mark Brooks editor http://www.onlinepersonalswatch.com Response from: Clay Cook Hi Mark, We have largely just been concentrating on the product, making sure it is better than any alternative, and engaging the community for their opinions/wants/dislikes etc. Our membership is largely from member referals who are happy to recommend the site. Hope this answers your question. - Clay
