iJango has issued a press release that claims iJango has "exploded to over 16,000 free users within the first six weeks of launching"

Here’s iJango CEO Rayner Smith’s take on why the iJango portal did not function at launch time. Smith states "We had our share of bugs in the outset, but with our loyal member base providing feedback and conceptual ideas, we have harnessed the power of the iJango Community and refined our offering to cater to our members’ needs. We have been able to prove to our users that we are able to adapt to their feedback."

The corporate press release goes on to state that iJango has repositioned "itself to a Membership Rewards Community, iJango’s free users will now be referred to as Community Members. Those wishing to earn compensation from growing the Membership base are referred to as Community Directors."

Here’s the corporate take on iJango getting the lowest possible rating from the BBB: "Unfortunately, despite the fact that iJango has provided the Central Texas BBB with everything it has requested, the BBB has mischaracterized the company in a news release and a reliability report," said Smith. "In its rush to tar network marketing companies such as iJango, the Central Texas BBB has mislead the public by failing to mention that: iJango Network and its Community Directors earn Usage Commissions from Shopping and Traffic, that the BBB had in its possession iJango’s Agreements with its vendors, and the Central Texas BBB had edited out portions of its unannounced conversation with me."

I don’t think the BBB was "in a rush to tar network marketing companies such as iJango"  as Smith states. I think they were in a rush to tar iJango. The BBB reports 3,400 complaints nationwide about iJango since Aug. 1.
