Beta testing
Thursday, June 26th, 2008it’s been a while since i’ve updated the blog from an engineering point of view. the main reason being that, yup you’ve guessed it, we’ve been engineering. we released the first 20 beta accounts this week and so far so good.
it’s always a little strange when the project you’ve had total control over enters the public domain and out of your hands but it’s also exciting.
i’ll keep posting here in small chunks as we move through the process and describe how the feedback comes in and gets sorted, tagged and becomes part of the refinement process and then back out into the wild.
stay tuned.
Keep Running, keep running!
Saturday, March 1st, 2008As of this week I’ve been using Woosabi to run my main job’s affairs (www.inpractice.org) and the three things Woosabi does that will benefit it are:
- Sorting an horrendous amount of email
- Automatically invoicing clients every month (fixed fee work)
- Keeping track of the jobs I need to do (and reminding me to do them!)
- Being able to do this on the move (I hate being at a client site and not being able to access email and invoice info - especially if it’s a long day there)
So I took the leap and became the second full beta client for Woosabi, which means if it loses anything I’m in big trouble.
I’ve got a job to do
How’s it doing then?
Awesome! I just logged onto my Woosabi account in a coffee shop to find 4 clients have new invoices waiting to go out (monthly fixed fee items) as it’s March 1st, their billing date. It might be nice to have a simple way to email them these now so I can cut down the amount trees cut down in the name of invoicing 
From city to city
I also get a lot of email. My inbox from the past night, which consists of backup files, automated batch job reports, personal email and spam has been nicely filtered for me. What Woosabi has done is group all these by the sender, which allows me to go into my contact view, and see only their email.
Wouldn’t it be great to read an email that’s a request for work and turn it from an email into an actual job of work that would be recorded later for invoicing? Welcome to Woosabi.
All in all, it’s looking and feeling very solid and I’m starting to feel incredibly proud of our efforts.
