iRise’s Tom Humbarger summarized the state of Catalyze, an open forum for business analysts, UX professionals, and project managers. Humbarger hit a few hot developments in Catalyze – the world’s first community for business analysts and usability professionals.

• Catalyze publicly launched June of 2007, and the site broke the 1700 member barrier today.
• Catalyze is adding about 100-150 members every week and has averaged 240 visits per day over the last month.
• To leverage the power of Catalyze network, Humbarger has created a Catalyze LinkedIn group and a Catalyze Facebook group.
