The Blog

We’ve been working on Scrapblog for two years. Now, we are getting ready to present our new version at DEMO and it feels like we are just getting started.

Omar and I have spent the last three days in a hotel in San Francisco rehearsing our demo with Shel Israel. Shel has been amazing at highlighting the audience’s perspective and cutting out the things that only we care about. Yesterday, we met with Robert Scoble and he then wrote that “Scrapblog is awesome”, which was pretty awesome for us.

I’ve started companies in the past (Nobox is a very successful and profitable interactive agency), but Scrapblog is way different. It really feels like we are weaving a company together. So many great people from around the world have contributed to making Scrapblog so extraordinary. Just to give you an idea, our core team is in Miami, but we have contributors in New Zealand, India, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Wash. DC, San Francisco, and Russia.

I cannot comment specifically about what we are presenting, but it’s hard to contain the excitement. I’ll tell you this much… the main difference between our current beta and what we will be showing at DEMO is the positive feedback and suggestions of the 20K+ community of Scrapbloggers. If there is a decision that I cherish is having placed an early version of Scrapblog online for others to test and comment. If you are already a Scrapblogger, I thank you for all your support. I am sure that you’ll love the new Scrapblog. If you are checking us out for the first time, welcome and be ready to be thunderstruck.

I will now get back to rehearsing, before Shel gets on my case.
