Hi, I’m The Blog.
Hi! We’ve finally got a blog up. It’s not pretty, but we’ll spiff it up a bit as we go.
If we haven’t met yet, Hi, I’m Ryan. I work at Koombea with Jonathan, Max, and the rest of our team. We built Hi, I’m in 48 hours for the 2009 Rails Rumble. And wouldn’t ya know it, we won! There were a ton of cool apps built that weekend and we’re honored to have been a part of the competition.
Since we launched after only 48 hours of development, there were naturally a bunch of bugs and a lot of things we never got around too. Well, we’re pleased that we’re getting around to them.
If you created your page before today, you could only add one account of each network. Today we launched a new networks page that allows you to add multiple accounts for each network type. Do you have three Twitter accounts? No problem! We also added a Share tab that makes it easy for you to share your Hi, I’m page with your friends on Twitter or Facebook. To edit your networks and share your page, just login and click the Edit My Page link next to your name.
If you don’t have a Hi, I’m page yet, don’t just sit there! Go! In just a few minutes you could have a sweet URL like http://hi.im/somenameyouliketobecalled.
We also wanted to let you know what we’re working on next. Our first priority is bugs and making sure everything works the way it should. If you find one, please let us know. There’s a Help link at the bottom of each page. Next, we’ve got some services that only show up as links, but don’t import the feeds. We’re working on fixing that. After that, we’re going to be adding new networks. If you’ve got a request for a network, let us know. We get a lot of requests so we can’t make any promises, but we like to know what everyone wants most.
Hi, I’m is our nights and weekends project for now, so we’re going to be updating as often as we can. Our first priority is to our Koombea clients who are so kind as to keep us fed and the mortgages paid, so we appreciate your patience while we keep working Hi, I’m when we can. In the meantime, we always love to hear from you and hear your ideas, questions, or gripes. We’ll do our best to get things right for you as fast as we can.
We’ll be back again soon. In the meantime, nice to meet ‘ya!
