We {heart} our Testers

First up, a big shout out to all our testers! Thanks for all your efforts, the free gifts at the end will all be worth it, not forgetting the bragging rights to depriving us of sleep and outside contact due to all your great bug findings and feature ideas... Here at Groopit HQ, rubber ducks and all, we salute you.

More exciting news - we used Groopit to successfully run an 'ask the audience' style pitch event ("Pitch and Mix") here at the University of Edinburgh last night. After each budding student entrepreneur's talk, members of the audience voted over text message whether to award 1,2 or 3 points and the winner got a bottle of champagne. Marvelous! It was our largest live poll yet, so we're very excited that it worked.

In other news, the Stanford Baseball I brought back from California last week is wreaking havoc on office health and safety, but that's another story...

Hey guys, hope the business is progressing nicely. I was at the Pitch & Mix event and thought of you today when I heard about a new site from the Friendster founder. Potential competition or inspiration? http://venturebeat.com/2007/03/16/socializr-for-planning-events-online/
