#blooie

It has been one busy busy week here at Blooie!

Following on from our TechCrunch write-up, we’ve also been featured on Hacker News, BetaKit and BetaRocket!

Not only that though, we’ve also launched our streamlined installation process, following on from our new and improved sign-up process – there hasn’t been a better time to join Blooie!

We’re all pretty exhausted, but we’re loving every minute!

We’re also stoked to see our list of installs growing, so as a special thanks for joining Blooie in the early stages, we’ve organised a little thank-you for our first 100 installs.

So what are you waiting for?!

That is the extent of our Spanish here at Blooie. So imagine our surprise when we arrived into the office on Monday morning, only to realise we had 66 new user accounts waiting to be activated! We were of course, very pleased. But in between happy dances on top of our desks, we noticed something. All these new accounts were for Spanish sites. Nosotros no hablamos español!

How had this strange pattern occurred? Turns out an awesome little Spanish blog  wwwhatsnew.com decided to introduce us to their followers. Turns out, the Spanish are very receptive to great new concepts (which bumps them right up our list of favourite nations) and voilà (or should that be ahí lo tienen?) we have 66 new Spanish friends!

The novelty quickly wore off when we started to receive support requests, in Spanish. Luckily for us, the internet can make just about anything possible! With a lot of Google translate and the help of CTO Chris’ fantastic Spanish-speaking fiancé, we managed it!

We’re delighted to have a whole new community involved with Blooie, it’s really made us so excited for the future! So we’ve decided to help you all brush up on your Spanish with the aid of our brand new feature! May we present to you....
