We’re happy to say that Commonplace is open to the public. We’ve dropped the invitation only stuff and are now focused on listening to and growing the community. It’s a big milestone for us and we want to mark the occasion.
We’re celebrating our launch with the first ever Commonplace Showcase. It’s our way of saying thanks to our earliest Place curators. The Showcase will be part of Commonplace’s Home page so it’ll raise your visibility and visitors.
The rules are simple. All Places launched by March 1, 2011 will be considered for the premiere Commonplace Showcase. 5 Places will be chosen based on the quality of the items, the presentation and cover. We’re looking for the most intriguing Places. If selected, your Place thumbnail will be on our Home page for the month of March. Since the thumbnail links to your Place, you’ll get more visibility and visitors.
So, spruce up your current Place or launch something new. This is a great opportunity to hype your Place. Show off your best stuff and may the best Places win.
