We Get Around Network Forum Celebrates 7th Anniversary on 19 August 2021

Hi All,

In less than a month – August 19, 2021 – the We Get Around Network Forum Community celebrates its 7th anniversary.

As I wrote on August 19, 2014:

I founded the Matterport User Group (MUG) - [now known as the We Get Around Network] - to help create community around the Matterport platform; including the Matterport Pro 3D Camera and Capture app; and soon on mobile phones, tablets, glasses, goggles and devices that we haven't even imagined (yet).

Fast-forward seven years:

1. 84,000 posts
2. 14,000 topics
3. 14,000 monthly Visitors
4. 500,000 annual page views
5. 7,500 WGAN registered Members in 140 counties
6. Added a companion TV show: WGAN-TV Live at 5
7. Added companion training: WGAN-TV Training U (in Matterport) and WGAN Training Academy
8. Added the WGAN-TV Podcast
9. Many WGAN Sponsors - 3D/360 cameras/platforms/3rd Party Services - that help make WGAN possible
10. Many real estate photographer Members that make WGAN possible
11. There are now 170+ 3D/360 platforms/software; 50+ 3D/360 cameras and many 3rd Party Solutions

That's a lot of giving/getting help!

About that new We Get Around Network masthead (above). (which we are still tweaking)

Same We Get Around Network Forum with a new look.

Why a new look?

I anticipate thousands of new Visitors a month to the We Get Around Network Forum once Matterport receives $605 million at closing Friday (23, July 2021) when Matterport goes public in a market valuation of nearly $3 billion. That's because Matterport will spend millions of dollars on advertising, marketing and sales. That means more photographers and real estate agents discovering the We Get Around Network Forum from 'Googling' ...

1. Matterport
2. Matterport competitors
3. Matterport versus [competitor]
4. Matterport 3rd Party Services and Add Ons
5. Matterport Related Platforms, Cameras and 3rd Party Service Providers

So, we added a fresh coat of paint to look our best:

1. We Get Around Network Forum
2. WGAN-TV
3. WGAN-TV Training U (in Matterport)
4. WGAN-TV Training Academy
5. WGAN-TV Podcast
6. Various social media channels

The new We Get Around Network logo – and related digital assets – are designed by Kimp agency (for an affordable, flat monthly fee).

The new logo signals 3D/360 photography for places. Plus, the up arrow signals growth and positive energy.

Thank you for being part of the We Get Around Network Community. You made this all possible.

Thank you,
