Meemi is growing ..

This week @capobecchino, the author of Meemi.com, revealed some statistics of the recent growth of this microblogging platform.

In the first third of 2010, new accounts have significally overrun the total of 2008 and 2009 new accounts.
These data are impressive, especially considered that the very most of the accounts is from Italy, that this service isn't covered by mainstream media, and that competitors have very important names like Facebook, FriendFeed, Twitter and Buzz.

Still, Meemi has some very great points in the energy and openness of the authors, in features that are getting everyday more useful, and in a community of users that is really, really, open and conversable.

I think that no other social network can have discussions that start with a simple 'buongiorno' and last for over 100 days and 2000 answers.

I think no other social network is so useful to get help or to brainstorm ideas.

I think no other social network can end up in an 'avatar exchange day'.

I think no other social network has so many followers that spontaneously defend every member of the community trolled in its own blog.

If you are interested in joining Meemi, let me give you and advice. Don't assume it is Twitter. Don't post tweets.

Participate. Answer. Live it.

Be a meemer.
