Blinkweb Opened, Went Live, Then Closed

Blinkweb Opened today to a mad rush of eager subscribers. The Blinkweb Signup Page was live for about 10 minutes before the 1,000 spots were taken. The Callens capped the initial Blinkweb Launch at 1,000 to be sure their system could handle the load.
I received their email and went to signup immediately only to find the 1,000 spots for Blinkweb were filled. I guess that’s what I get for going to get the mail myself. It was that quick.The Blinkweb Release was announced via email and via comment post, which I found very interesting. Brad Callen had replied to a post on the main Businessdreams site and when the email was sent, a comment was also made on my blog post.
The Blinkweb Launch email had this to say:

Blinkweb is a brand new website creation tool that we’ve
developed specifically for internet marketers. The tool is
free and I can guarantee it’s the easiest to use, most feature
packed system available anywhere in the world.

We’ve just opened the site up less than 10 minutes ago. We’re
only accepting 1,000 members right now, as we want to make sure
that Blinkweb can handle that number of users.

After 1,000 users are reached, we’re closing the site down to
new users temporarily. We’re not sure how long.

Because the demand for Blinkweb is so high (i.e. Our blog post
showing the demo video of Blinkweb generated almost 2500 comments)
we know that the initial 1,000 user limit will be filled extremely
fast.

If you try to sign up and the site is closed, simply fill out
the notification form that will replace the signup form, and you
will be notified immediately when Blinkweb re-opens.

I touched base with Matt Callen from Blinkweb and he stated that in just a couple more days they’ll have Blinkweb PERMANENTLY open. You can sign up for the Blinkweb relaunch notification located on the bottom right hand side of the Blinkweb homepage and you will be notified when Blinkweb is open permanently. It should only be a couple days.

Matt states that they are sorry for the inconvenience, but in order to ensure that Blinkweb is
fully capable of handling the amount of users they expect, they needed to cap the initial launch to 1,000 users, which I totally understand.

I went back to the Blinkweb signup page only to find that it was down. Maybe the 1,000 Blinkweb testers will have to wait to give Blinkweb their review.
