Asbury Park PRESS — May 16 — MyYearbook was launched in 2005 by a brother and sister, ages 17 and 16. Within a week of their start date ~200 people from their school joined. They are adding ~4,000 members a day from all over the world and have 700,000+ users. In February, comScore Media Metrix reported myYearbook was growing ~43% a month in the 12-24 age group. MyYearbook's membership drive consists of word-of-mouth marketing and an affiliate program that allows users to refer new members for $1 for each registrant referred. In April an investor purchased a 10% stake for $1.5 million. FULL ARTICLE @ APP.COM
