Article by Mark I Rasskazov, Editor in Chief.
When you speak to Mike Moore, you are immediately struck by how approachable he is. Many people say “I’m just a regular guy.” With Mike, this is actually quite true.
From what I can tell, this guy has had quite a journey in building this site; both figuratively and literally. Sleepless nights of waking up, feeling the urge to say something; to do something, launching the site, days on the road in an RV and car troubles, galvanizing the will of friends, and building something worthwhile — brick by brick.
I got a chance to talk to him about these things and more on 30 April 2013 (a recording of the interview can be viewed at the bottom of this article). I mentioned the first article I did on his site, the day after the site was launched. (NEW ALTERNATIVE SOCIAL MEDIA KINGPIN? Published on 27 March 2013.) At that time, there were already over 1,000 members, up from around 300-400 the previous day. The site membership now stands at a staggering 12,566 members; and what is even more incredible is the fact that this number represents memberships from every corner of the globe. This is not yet enough to compete with Facebook or Twitter, but it’s now more than just a blip on the radar — especially since they’ve achieved this in a little over a month, and have only just left beta phase.
Mike and his team of dedicated programmers are working around the clock (literally!) to improve the site. Today, Marshal Nelson, one of the site’s developers, has officially announced that the launch of a mobile app for the site is pending. I for one am eagerly looking forward to it. This site has become an intellectual haven for many people all around the globe — myself included. Browsing Awareness Act has become my default down-time activity; if I’m not working or spending time with friends and loved ones, chances are, I’m logged into Awareness Act.
I know I speak not only for myself, but for everyone at Awareness Act when I say that I am deeply grateful to Mike and his team for they are doing with the site. Keep up the good work, guys.
