Mon, 26 Sep 2011 16:49:00 -0700

Hi there! Proverb.io is changing so fast that we believe that it’s necessary to use our blog as the best way to keep you in the loop, in order to open a place to talk with you about those changes.

Proverb.io is still in Beta version and despite the high number of people who have requested an invitation approximately only 80 of them have got one. The reason is that we prefer a controlled incorporation of users because we want to be able to offer them a personalized assistance: for example by listening to what they have to tell us about their experience as users.

Thanks to those 80 first users, Proverb.io has been improved amazingly fast. During the last weeks, we’ve received their opinions, requests for new features, as well as bugs reports: information extremely useful to turn Proverb.io into the inspirational social network chosen by all quotes lovers.

Proverb.io has been created to help you share those meaningful –to you and your friends- phrases without them getting lost in the flow of information of others social networks’ timeline. Nevertheless, if you want to use other social networks to share content from Proverb.io, you can do it with just a click in the button of the chosen social network because Proverb.io is currently integrated to the most popular social networks.

Also, you can now edit your quote before publish it in Twitter or Facebook, making each publication a unique and personalized message.

Regarding this, one of the last big features we’ve incorporated is the possibility to add an URL to your quote. So, you can share with other users the source of your quote, phrase or lyric, or maybe additional information about a topic, an author or even your favorite musician.

We’re very happy about the fact that Proverb.io is still small enough to be able to handle all customer requests quickly and we hope we can keep doing this even when we get bigger. So, this is your chance to do Proverb.io just as you want, just as you need.

We are working strongly for you, and we meet one of the biggest satisfactions when we reply to a request for a new feature or a bug report by saying “Done! We fixed it for you”.

This is our BIG project this year. We have so many things waiting to be incorporated in Proverb.io!!! We are working hard but we need you as part of our team… we’re inviting you to grow together with Proverb.io!! Its users are the most important piece of this project because only they can make Proverb.io as big as we’re planning.

So… we’d love to know what is your experience using Proverb.io.

Tell us everything you want!!! We’re listening excitedly!!!!

“

Good designers must always be avant-gardists, always one step ahead of the times. They should, and must, question everything generally thought to be obvious. They must have an intuition for people’s changing attitudes. For the reality in which they live, for their dreams, their desires, their worries, their needs, their living habits. They must also be able to assess realistically the opportunities and bounds of technology.
