We’ve been working on this version for several months and can’t wait to finally launch it.
The first version of eSnips focused on providing our users with freedom, flexibility and control over WHAT they can share, WHO they share it with, and HOW they share it.
In the upcoming version eSnips will become social.
We made the first version available as soon as we could (Sept. 2005) with zero promotion and an almost non existing hosting infrastructure, and were astonished with the fast, purely viral growth it received. That helped us tremendously raising a seed investment from a reputable VC, and allowed us to focus on the next version and to build a hosting infrastructure than can really scale.
We expect this change to have a major impact on eSnips' metrics. So if the current growth was good we are anxious to see what will happen now.
Of course there is a downside to everything: This major upgrade requires a significant change in our database and significant downtime can’t be avoided. We’ll try to keep it to a minimum.
Check out Efrat's eSnippers den blog for detailed and more updated information about the launch.
I'm loving the new UI for eSnips! Thanks for giving us a great service :))
