YouAre Blog 2008 October 20 Picking up the pace to open up the doors

Picking up the pace to open up the doors

October 20th, 2008 · Gabriel Segura · 4 Comments

Since the beginning of this month we’ve been feeling pretty satisfied with how the development of YouAre has been progressing. We’ve fixed a few bugs and have implemented a few small features. We will continue the development on the API and features such as:

  • Search content
  • The option of editing the type of relationship you have with another user without having to delete and re-add the contact

We’re working on this right now.

When we started sending out invites in July, there was too much going on in the microblogging scene. It wasn’t the best time to introduce ourselves, but we didn’t care and we still don’t. The positive feedback we’ve received gives us a lot of energy. We are still happily working away, and at a rhythm that may not be as fast as we would have liked, but the fact is that we are also organizing Evento Blog España, the second-largest blogger and web entrepreneur conference in Europe in terms of attendance, and that takes up a lot of our time. This year we’ll welcome 900 attendees.

We now have a date to “open up the doors” on YouAre: the end of this year.

    Hi Jose and the team at Youare.com,

    Amazing work on the site. I am absolutely floored at how easy to use, useful, and aesthetically appealing the site is. You guys have really looked at what other microblogging sites are not satisfying. I’m really excited to follow your developments with integrating with other social networks like Facebook, Friendfeed, etc.

    Not to rush you because I know you are doing a diligent job to make sure everything is robust and stable, but when will Youare be publicly available?

    Perhaps it’s not your intent, but in a time of economic uncertainty people need something like Youare. People are increasingly using social media to job search, and connect with other coworkers. Because Youare incorporates professional and educational details, I can see how useful it is for recruiters (and coworkers) to know a person’s professional and educational credentials, and read the person’s industry-related insights in the form of micro-blogging.

    The nature of microblogging also makes it easy to communicate, whether privately or publicly in an @ reply.

    I’m currently creating an online community that also helps people deal with the recession. I will write up a review soon to promote Youare.com. It would be great if the site can be made public so it could go viral. Lots of potential.

    Thanks for the great website!
    Cynthia

    Thanks, Cynthia! We would like to launch before the end of the year. In our strategy, the domain is quite important as brand and to have posibilities in new business models that may arise with it.
