hi5 Platform Launch 100% Complete!

As of last night, the hi5 Platform release has been rolled out to 100% of our 80+ million registered members across the globe. We're very excited to have been able to complete the rollout process in such a short period of time. We've also been busy reviewing and approving new applications as they are submitted, and are happy to report our gallery now boasts 149 applications (for comparison, we started with 65 at launch on Monday)!

To help spread your apps, we'll be adding a homepage and profile promotion for the Application Gallery starting Monday, and enabling email notifications Monday as well. Let us know if you have any questions about how to leverage our numerous viral channels for promoting your apps – we love all the new ways our users can enjoy hi5 with your apps!

Thanks again to all the developers that have helped make this launch a success. We're looking forward to a huge week next week for applications on hi5, as well as rolling out full access to our wiki and bug tracker, and getting started on hi5 Platform v2!
