Moonit was on fire at TechCrunch in SF this past week, running relationship assessments for everybody's significant others, husbands, wives, crushes, exes, doormen, roommates, mother-in-laws, college buddies, and business partners on the DemoPit floor of TechCrunch50 2009. One thing we didn't realize was just how rewarding it would be to see our users' responses, which ranged from complete shock and disbelief to sheer joy and laughter… It's nice when you get the chance to put a smile on someone's face on such a hectic day for everyone. And one of these people was Troy, the (at first glance) imposing security guard in charge of monitoring all the comings-and-goings at TechCrunch.
At one point, Moonit was illegally hanging out in the press area doing a phone interview with a VIP blogger, and we couldn't afford to get uprooted during the call. When Troy got on Moonit's case about being in there, repeatedly asking us to leave or he'd "lose his job," Moonit cut a deal with him: we'd figure out his crazy love life in exchange for hanging out in the press area.

Moonit got some really helpful and positive feedback from all kinds of users at TechCrunch50, and we even headlined Forbes' coverage of TechCrunch in Rebecca Buckman's "Over the Moon for Startups" top story in tech news on Monday afternoon. But we got even more love a few days after the conference when a number of influential tweeters and bloggers spread the word about Moonit on Twitter and their blogs. One of these guys, Jeremy Schoemaker, showcased our site and a video interview he did with us on the floor of the conference on his well-trafficked blog Shoemoney. Michael Harr, the co-founder of another DemoPit semi-finalist TodayForward, did a sweet write-up on Moonit on his blog Wealth… Uncomplicated. Not to mention a number of offshoot sites that picked up our blog, like Trendhunter Magazine, TrendUpdates and CSSMania.

Moonit is still recovering from some serious jet lag, TMC (too much coffee) and sleep deprivation induced by the TechCrunch50 2009 DemoPit in San Francisco. But don't get us wrong, we're more than happy to take one for the team when it comes to demoing our product for our fans. There's nothing like seeing users engaged with the product, getting instant gratification and giving us their honest feedback. Many thanks to the folks at eROI who worked their buns off to get the kinks out of the offering and make sure Monday, September 14th went off without a hitch. Not to mention we got amazing feedback from everyone on our logo and brand design, too! Thanks to everybody for making Moonit a success. But the road is just beginning for us, and we're looking forward to making Moonit better and better every day.
