D-Day


It seemed as if this day would never come, but it has. Tomorrow we officially launch our site uLiken.com. It's by no means finished nor perfect, but I've come to realize that it will never be.

My current efforts have shifted from product development to the unpleasant task of promoting the site and whoring myself to anyone that will listen. We would love to be featured on Techcrunch, but due to pedestrian nature of our product i find that highly unlikely. Maybe we should have built some sort of twitter/adobe air application. In either case it wouldn't hurt to try, so i will be sending out some e-mails, talking to a couple contacts and seeing what happens. Mashable is another great blog that focuses on social networking startups and news. Those attributes makes them a great fit for our startup, however they seem to only command 1/10th of the Techcrunch audience. None the less we would be lucky to be featured on either blog.

On the product development side we're working on minor bugs and some browser compatibility issues. We're also excited about the music category that we plan to roll out next month. We have big plans for that category, but if I've learned anything in last 7 months it's that things never go as planned. In either case i promise we will do our best push the envelope and create innovative products.
