"DeHood has made tremendous progress in the past 5 months, signing up over a quarter-million registered users in that timeframe. This validates our model and clearly demonstrates the pent-up demand for a broad-based community solution on iPhone, iPad, Facebook, web, and now Android, serving users in many different ways," said Babak Hedayati, founder and CEO.

An example of DeHood’s applicability at the community level is its use at Bethlehem AD [www.bethlehemad.com], December 21-23 in Redwood City, California. Bethlehem AD is a live nativity presentation that attracts thousands of visitors every year. DeHood will be used to share the events in real-time with the broader community, encouraging people to participate in this very meaningful event.
