Woosabi: Don’t be a stranger!

Friday, February 15th, 2008

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone reminded you that it’s been a while since you got in touch with the ones you care about.

And then helped you send them a text message or email or letter.

And then sent it for you.

Welcome to Woosabi.

No prize for spotting the deliberate speeling mistake!

We agree two heads can be better than one, so we’ve made it easy for partners to collaborate without geographic limitations or the headache of choosing who gets to wrestle with day-to-day admin and planning.

Delegate the burden of your everyday business management to Woosabi, the system can make decisions based on settings options and will notify you only if a task needs your attention, as and when it’s needed. Operate your business worldwide all you or your partner need is access to the web. Be it home office or hotel lobby, regardless of where you are working or what time of day it is where you are, woosabi gives access to real-time view of customer, supplier and new lead interactions with your business.

Woosabi: You’ve got mail!

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone reminded you:

When you’ve got new mail

When you’ve got mail that you’ve not responded to, ones that you’ve told them to remind you about!

Welcome to Woosabi.

When development gets a little easier

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

You might recall that last Friday our inbox looked like this:

Inbox - Version 0.0

Well, it now looks like this:

INbox 2

It’s still got a few interface tweaks to iron out some differences between it and the ultra smart StyleGuide version - or else Eds will be round 8}

When development gets tough

Friday, February 1st, 2008

So, we’re 4 weeks away from the launch of Woosabi and the integrated email needs some serious attention. It turns out that the Thunderbird email client sends all attachments as inline messages by default. This means, basically, that emails sent via Thunderbird were showing up without their attachments (they are still there) or the message was showing part of an attachment instead of the actual message.

This is a serious problem for Woosabi, as we do lots of very smart things with email, in fact our integrated email (imail?) removes a lot of the unecessary clunk of using email - for example, it automatically connects your mail to your contacts which connect to your job list which connect to your files. What does that mean in English?

  • It means that Woosabi can let you download any attachment to any email from any computer just by typing a contact name.
  • It means Woosabi will remind you that you’ve not responded to an important email after a few days of reading it.
  • It means Woosabi can send you a text message to let you know that a particular contact has replied to an urgent message
  • It means Woosabi takes care of things for you!

Unfortunately, for me, it means a few late nights trying to fix Thunderbirds rather strange way of doing things. So, when in doubt, go back to basics, find out where the discrepency lies and then build back up from there.

It’s Friday night, everyone else is off down the pub, but I’ll have a beer when we launch and know it was worth it :)

So here it is, the current Inbox - stay tuned for updates!

Inbox - Version 0.0

Just incase you were wondering ;) This is what Woosabi’s Activity screen is looking like - everything about your business in one place! How many emails need replies, how many invoices are unpaid, how many customers haven’t been contacted for a few weeks, jobs you’ve got todo, you know, that sort of thing! Good simple CRM for small businesses, like us.

Web 2.0 security risks being ignored

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Good article which looks at the coming boom in Web2.0 apps (like Woosabi) and their impact on the current security that most organisations have in place.

Web 2.0 presents a barely understood risk to companies embracing social networking and instant messaging technology as business tools and could force a change in corporate IT security and greater use of encryption.”

The Woosabi Soundtrack

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Seeing as I’ve divulged that a lot of coffee is consumed during the production of Woosabi; this is what it currently sounds like in the Woosabi code factory - as I can’t stop playing this Dylan song, Series of Dreams.

Wasn’t making any great connection
Wasn’t falling for any intricate scheme
Nothing that would pass inspection
Just thinking of a series of dreams
