Skribit Exits Beta, Gets TechCrunched

December 17, 2009 · 40 comments

I always found it a bit ironic that I had less time to blog here as I started working full-time on a blogging startup. Well, my time spent on Skribit is starting to pay off. Today, Skribit finally goes out of what we’ve internally been considering our public beta — so it’s our official launch day. We have been laying low on the marketing and press front, except for my ramblings here, and now we are ready to tell more people about it. That being said, TechCrunch just wrote about Skribit (thanks Daniel!). This is the first step on our so-called “Customer Acquisition Plan”, as MBA as that sounds.

Launch Something and Meet People at Atlanta Startup Weekend 3

November 9, 2009 · 11 comments

The third year of Atlanta Startup Weekend is less than a week away and begins Friday November 13th and goes through Sunday night. I am definitely biased as I have attended the last two Startup Weekends, but I strongly suggest attending if you are within the Atlanta area. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Startup Weekend is a 54 hour event where people with a variety of backgrounds — from legal to backend development — gather, pitch ideas and then take the selected ideas from whiteboard to working web application or whatever it may be.

Recap: WordCamp Birmingham 2009 + Skribit Updates

September 30, 2009 · 16 comments

This past weekend I drove over to Birmingham, Alabama, for WordCamp Birmingham 2009. This was their second WordCamp and brought out some 180 people — three times larger than their first one last year. This was not my first WordCamp; I attended WordCamp San Francisco 2007. In a nutshell, WordCamp is a weekend event where WordPress users, enthusiasts, developers and other members of the community gather for a series of talks, sessions, Q&A’s and networking. If you have a WordPress question, you’ll find your answer at WordCamp. [click to continue…]

Full-time Startup: Skribit Week 30 (Coding, Coding, Coding)

August 4, 2009 · 43 comments

It has been quite a while since my last update on what I actually do for a living – work on the startup Skribit. Okay, well to be technically correct this blog is more of a living as it pays more (thanks for reading!), but I work about 60 hours a week on Skribit, more or less. Some weeks we’re gearing up for a deploy (like this past week) and I work a lot more to clean things up in time. For those wondering what Skribit is or what I’ve talked about thus far as I attempt to chronicle [click to continue…]

Full-time Startup: Skribit Week 12 (Scaling)

April 1, 2009 · 34 comments

My last startup update discussed Skribit’s recent redesign and entrance into the GRA/TAG Business Launch competition. Since then a few things have been keeping us busy. For one, we have had more and more server issues. While Skribit doesn’t use much in the way of CPU [click to continue…]

Full-time Startup: Skribit Week 8 (Redesign)

March 2, 2009 · 17 comments

The last few weeks of working on Skribit have been proved to be rewarding. It’s finally gotten to a point where it’s noticeable that we are making some progress with product development. This past Friday I pushed live the new redesign of Skribit.com. A few weeks ago we hired graphic designer Justin Ruckman to pump out some mockups for the next iteration of the Skribit website design. Justin was already [click to continue…]

Startup Goals for 2009

January 23, 2009 · 39 comments

Not too long ago Calvin pushed out the suggestion for this post to the Atlanta Startups group on Skribit. I figured I would tackle this post now that it is still early in the year. Unfortunately, you probably already know what I’m going to say. I think every startup’s primary goal for 2009 is survival. The economy sucks and we’re reminded of that almost every day. Microsoft just laid off 5,000 employees and they are definitely not alone. [click to continue…]

Full-Time Startup: Skribit Week 2

January 17, 2009 · 33 comments

As a follow-up to my post detailing my first week of full-time work at Skribit, this post will talk about my adaptation to the working from home lifestyle as well as how work is going. I have slowly gotten into a work routine and generally start work around 8 or 9am until around 5pm, when I take a few hours off and then do an hour or two of work in the wee hours.

My First Day Working Full-Time for Skribit

January 7, 2009

I’m sorry to disappoint – this post has nothing to do with the Apple keynote at Macworld 2009, iTunes going completely DRM-free, the new 17-inch MacBook Pro with an 8 hour battery life, or a myriad of CES coverage. Instead, this post is about my first day of full-time work at Skribit, a startup helping [...]

What’s Going On With Skribit?

November 10, 2008

I was going to title this post “Atlanta Startup Weekend 2 Brings New Skribit Feature” but then I went through my Skribit account and saw that there are a lot of suggestions asking me Skribit-related questions, so I’ll devote this post to it. First, Atlanta Startup Weekend 2 went down this weekend at Georgia Tech’s [...]

Startup Riot Recap

May 20, 2008

Startup Riot 2008, painstakingly organized by Sanjay Parekh, went down yesterday and I must say this was the first big tech event in Atlanta that I have been to or heard about. There have been some tech events by the Technology Association of Georgia and SoCon 08 but nothing as in touch with the local [...]

The Perils of the Anonymous User

March 25, 2008

While I’m not quite sure that’s the most fitting title, I’ve recently been thinking about online anonymity in regards to web applications. In this time of social networks, social media, OpenSocial and what not, I find it a bit annoying that so many people go about using these social tools as anonymous users

Thoughts on Startups

February 26, 2008

One of my secret passions in recent years has been learning about startups – how they run, what they need, how they reach their audience, the value-prop they offer and so on. Some people have a thing for GTD but I have a crush on startups. Why do I love them so?
