I signed on to Blab.im for the first time on Thursday, August 20, 2015. It was a life-changing experience. All of a sudden, I could see hope for the future in online communication and education. I immediately started researching the company and its plans for developing the platform. To help me get started in using Blab, I found this video uploaded to YouTube on August 17th by Sunny Lenarduzzi especially helpful.

UPDATE: On Friday, June 17, 2016, Michael Stelzner announced the Social Media Examiner crew was abandoning Blab as a broadcasting platform for its weekly live-stream show. As far as I’m concerned this marked the end of that platform as a social media outlet. After that date, until Shaan Puri announced the end of the #blabbetaexperiment on August 12, it had become a social hang-out filled primarily with trolls and online curmudgeons.
As of April 2021, I was able to find some videos on YouTube that had originated on blab.im.
