We’ve been live to the world for one week (and we survived). We are growing everyday and it’s been amazing to watch all the new content being created and shared by the Coolspotters community. We’ve also been lucky enough to get some press attention (you can follow along here if you’re interested: http://fanzter.com/press). The reviews have been very positive, but more importantly, the enthusiastic feedback from our users has been incredible. We’re glad you like it and we want you to know that we’re just getting started.
Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be listening to all of your feedback and working hard to make your user experience even better. Please keep an eye on our user forums. This is where we’ll keep you up-to-date on all new upcoming developments. It’s also the place where you can request new features, report a bug, or just ask a general question.
Thanks for all the feedback so far. Please keep it coming.

For those of you that missed it, we were on CNBC yesterday. Check it out.
Around 12:00PM today, Coolspotters officially opened its beta to the world. We couldn’t be more excited to share the realization of our original goal: to create a platform that empowers millions of pop-culture fans to discover and share information about the products being used by their favorite celebrities - in real life, and in movies and television (and so much more).
A small group of people, with help from our families and friends, worked day and night to build Coolspotters from scratch. As development started, we realized that we could easily keep working forever, building in secrecy, waiting until everything was “perfect”. We decided in the end that we just didn’t want to keep Coolspotters a secret any longer. After all, it’s pretty hard to have a community-driven platform without an actual community to drive it. So, here we are today.
Coolspotters is new. The launch is beta. Features will come and go, parts of the site will change - all of which will be the result of feedback and ideas that we receive directly from you. Things on the site might even occasionally break. The point of all of this is: we will be working constantly to improve your experience. And rather than use this post to give details on all the features of Coolspotters, we’d like to simply invite you to check it out: http://coolspotters.com
