On the last ten days four very important Sampa sites where created. They were created by very close friends. And why they are important? Because these people used the Sampa Alpha version more than a year ago and never came back. I didn't bother them recently to create sites, but they did without even talking to me.
The sites created are one about a couple the moved to Washington DC and thought that a blog would be a good way to keep in touch with friends in Seattle. The other is another couple just creating a personal site. The third site is a guy that wants to create easy pages if he wants to sell something on Craigslist and the third is a personal site of a female friend.
Most of them are Microsoft people -- so they shall remain anonymous -- and they could have created their site on MSN Spaces (Live Spaces) or Office Live. I'm sure they have sites on those services as well. But the fact that they are using Sampa speaks a lot to our feature list and overall user experience. Maybe they can't do what they want on MSN Spaces (Office Live is mostly for business anyway) or maybe Sampa had just the extra thing that they needed.
IMHO, this is a sign that we are moving our user experience on the right direction.
