The first followers

By now hopefully you know the backstory - but if not, check it out so the rest of this post makes sense. In short, I'm going to execute on one idea that this guy comes up with and ship it by May 1st, 2010. And, I've opened up my project space to anyone who will commit to writing about the project once a week on their blog.

Already, 11 people have signed up to be a part of the project and blog about it and I wanted to share their blogs with you so you can check them out. It's crazy the diverse group of people that have already joined in on the fun. There are musicians, a fitness professional, someone who takes awesome self portraits of themselves, and a bunch of others.

There a are people from the US, the UK, and the Netherlands that are already part of the project.

It was pretty funny - I sent out a little welcome message to everyone yesterday after adding them to the project, and a couple responded by saying they weren't really sure what was going on yet, and I was thinking to myself - yeah, me either!

I've literally never done anything like this before so it's a little scary - but also really exciting. Here are some of my first followers - you should check out their blogs and read a bit about them.

It's really great that all these folks have signed up - and a few others have sent me notes saying that they're getting a blog going for this and will be sending me links - which is awesome.

Remember, anyone can sign up to be a part of the project - but only until March 3rd. Come on in, we'd love to have you join us.
