1,000,000 Members Join SkillPages in 150 Days

An incredible 1.000.000 subscription in under 150 Days for the social network, SkillPages. SkillPages is a social network for networking with other people that may need your skills, or with others that you might need them. An opportunity opens up for the users of SkillPages to be found by new employers, customers and business partners.

“We set out to enable a simple way for people to create a credible online presence for their skills.” commented CEO, Iain Mac Donald “Our user growth is a reflection of how people are reacting positively, creating a SkillPage and getting found by new customers and employers.”

The company celebrated the one millionth user by launching a new feature on the site called "Opportunities". SkillPages is free and anybody can join regardless of the skill they know.

UPDATE:
There have been a lot of complaints about some tactics utilized by Skillpages. There are a lot of reports of spamming and unauthorized access of email account contacts list. This is an old post so please don't take your rage out on me.

  2. The reason they have so many people signed up so quickly is because they, without your permission, send invitations from you to all your contacts to join. I didn't even sign up..all I did was click on their invite and after reading the info on their page, left it without joining. Even though I didn't join, they took my contact info and then sent out to all my contacts an invitation from me to join me on their page..I didn't even know they were doing this until someone told me!
