05/29/07 summer email
May 30th, 2007 by Robert EinspruchMemorial Day has come and gone, and that means graduation for most high schools and colleges across the country. Now that summer is upon us we will pause our marketing until school starts back up in the fall–until then you can expect limited activity on ziizoo.
But we don’t plan to take the summer off. We will be working diligently on the “beta” site to incorporate many of your requests, including enhanced search, a message center and calendar so that you can arrange sessions in advance, and most important, audio-chat so you can talk to your students. We plan to launch the “beta” site at the beginning of the school year and for that to coincide with heavy marketing campaigns at the high school and college level.
In the meanwhile, you can drive traffic directly to your ziizoo profile by posting your ziizoo URL on sites like Craigslist, Facebook, your own website, etc. This way students in need of tutoring can find you directly on ziizoo without having to sort through search results. To get your ziizoo URL simply substitute your username in the following link: “http://www.ziizoo.com/profile/your_username_here”. For example, the links to our profile pages are “http://www.ziizoo.com/profile/reinspruch” and “http://www.ziizoo.com/profile/evanderhoeven“.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, comments or suggestions. You can expect to hear from us every three to four weeks as we release new features to the community; to get the most current information please visit our blog at http://blog.ziizoo.com.
Thank you for your patience and suggestions during the “alpha” launch. We look forward to bigger and better things over the next few months.

How about a report on the status of success? Are we on the design curve at this point? How many students? Ration of students/instructors is?
