Dailymile Launches

Congrats to Ben Weiner and Kelly Korevec for the public launch of dailymile.com. I admire the way dailymile focuses on building user communities around events. The UI is easy to use and intuitive, and they've amassed a good userbase while in private beta.

You can read about their launch here.

update: turns out we have an older feature that allows users to submit events here.

I guess this is what passes for fun around here.

The lesson, as always, is don't brag that you can do the same number of sit-ups that you could do when you were 12 unless you can do the same number of sit-ups that you could do when you were 12!

This is all the result of a "warped" corporate culture here at Active where we are encourage to... well, BE active. A great example of this is the Active X program that our Art Director, Arch Fuston has put together. There's a full and a lite version for those of different fitness levels. It's great fun and a killer workout, as I'm sure Damon will attest.
