Bonanzle Celebrates One Year Since Leaving Beta

Today, Bonanzle celebrates it's first year since leaving beta testing. There are virtual celebrations in the Bonanzle forums and a note on Bill Harding's blog. Bill is the founder of Bonanzle.

Bill starts out his blog with:

Slogan: Real People. Real Deals. Real Time. Can I get a witness? Anyone remember back that far?

We remember that far back. At that time, we were a forum lurker for about a month or 2, trying to decide if we should join Bonanzle. We eventually did sign on, on 09-09-08. The site has really grown and had major changes since then. Bill's blog goes on to note some of the various milestones, most of which we also remember.

The blog also states:

What to expect for year two?

Year one was just a warm up round for what we're planning to bring you this year. We believe that the top reason to make Bonanzle your marketplace home is our commitment to improving faster than a cheetah on ice skates (don't imagine it, just go with your gut here... cheetahs are fast, and anything on ice skates is faster). In the next few weeks, we'll be releasing our Bonanzle API, which will allow third-party developers to create nifty stuff like iPhone apps, desktop software, Facebook apps, or browser plugins that interface with Bonanzle. I believe we will be the first marketplace outside of the Old Guard to offer a full-featured developer API.

After that, we have our sights set on October as the month we will begin development on the next generation of Bonanzle, for hopeful release by late October or early November. Expect to hear more around that time about how we plan to offer buyers an experience worth writing home about.

Congratulations Bonanzle!

It will be interesting to see what Bonanzle does in the year ahead.
