It is official: Jellyfish.com will open to the public on Monday, June 26th.

It is time to pull back the curtain and introduce what we hope will be a major shift towards a more transparent and consumer-centric form of search advertising. The site certainly isn’t going to be everything we want it to be day one, but the Jellyfish concept will be on full display. And besides, our team needs to go home and sleep sometime this month.

Thanks to everyone in the blogosphere that has been paying attention to our pre-launch ideas (especially the great posts and commentary by Brian Smith, Garrett French, Ed Batista and Scott Karp). The blogosphere really helps level the playing field and allows interesting ideas to percolate to the surface regardless of whether those ideas come from Silicon Valley or Madison Wisconsin. And if you need additional evidence as to how blogs are changing things, check out this post from Adam Trachtenberg, an eBay technical evangelist who apparently overheard Brian and I talking about Jellyfish at the San Francisco airport late last night. Thanks for the link to Jellyfish Adam! You can’t make this stuff up.

We really look forward to hearing your feedback next week post-launch.
