MiniMonos Friday Featured Friend -- Natasha Utting

This week it is an honor to be writing about Natasha Utting as our MiniMonos Friday Featured Friend.

On Wednesday night, Natasha brought MiniMonos to New Zealand public attention with her feature on Campbell Live.  Since then, an overwhelming number of people we have spoken to have been blown away by Natasha's talent as a journalist. 

Sometimes it can be hard to explain exactly what it is we do ("What do you mean a social network site for kids? Oh -- so they play computer games?").  Natasha made it clear for people how kids engage on MiniMonos and her segment was so beautifully put together that beaming, glowing feedback about it has been pouring in.  And people signing up. 

On Wednesday before Campbell Live was aired we were thrilled to be ahead of our target, with 2700 kids as MiniMonos members.   Immediately after the show Kiwi kids came flooding in and they haven't stopped since.  In a few hours we will have over 5000 kids on board.  We're stunned. So is our server, which is barely coping with the level of traffic and will be getting a massive upgrade early next week.

We want to thank Natasha from the bottom of our hearts for her amazing journalism and the depth of understanding and feeling that she put into producing that segment.

However it's not new for Natasha to put her all into what she does! From being poisoned in India to undercover journalism in Iran when all foreign journalists were banned, back in New Zealand she has thrown herself into:

 -- A Jet Pack, as one of the first people in the world to ever fly one

 

-- A 'Onsie', looking sooo cute!  (Please don't kill me, Natasha!)

 

-- And the bath, rolling in the money as a novice poker player who cleaned up 30 other competitors to win cash for her favorite charity.

We think you are a total rock-star, Natasha!
