Progress Thread: ThoughtsVent

[AdamMaxum]

Here's a short background on the journey up to this point for thoughtsvent

- Came up with the idea to pursue thoughtsvent at the beginning of summer.
- Posted on guru and odesk to find programmers
- Conducted interviews, choose a firm, got to work
- Initial version of site launches early August
- Minimal advertising - 7k page views to date with less then $20 ad revenue

My partner posted a thread in august asking for advice on the website and opinions. We concluded that the site needs a minor redesign and added color

What we are currently doing
- Conducting interviews for an added feature + design changes
- Focusing on SEO/social media/advertising strategies

I'll keep this thread updated weekly with any progress we make with thoughtsvent.com.

If you have any questions or suggestions of your own, please feel free to ask/post them.
