Good news, bad news: Goojet’s success causing some registration delays


Wow! Amazing welcome to Goojet on iPhone! After only a few days in the iTunes appstore our application has entered the top three in its category and new signups from the iPhone are skyrocketing.

A huge welcome to all our new iPhone users! We’re keeping a close eye on the feedback we’re seeing in blogs, in the appstore and of course through email and twitter.

We owe a big apology to not only our iPhone users, but to all our users: the impact of this huge number of new signups is a significant drop in the reponsiveness of our service. We know that it can require quite a bit of patience these days.

In the begining of Februrary we’ll roll out an upgrade of our technical backbone that will restore a correct responsiveness of the service. Until then we’ll have to ask you to be patient with us and know that behind the scenes our technical team is working around the clock to prepare the new backbone and do whatever is possible to improve the situation until then.

Thanks for your patience, please keep sending us your feedback, we love them. And enjoy Goojet!

Goojet iPhone App now available


screen-1-enThe news came last night: the Goojet iPhone App for iPhones and iPod Touch is now available on iTunes and you can download it (for free of course). It is available both in French and English.

Here is the link to our app on iTunes:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=300099731

This new application will allow our many iPhone users (a fast growing population!) to have easier access to the social aspects of Goojet, by for instance allowing much easier access to the messaging features of the platform. Sharing a service is never more than a single click away!
Another feature we’re very excited about is the integration with the iPhone camera. You can now add photos to walls, be it your own wall or your friends’ walls.

If this application is only for iPhone, the main interest of Goojet is also that your friends that are not on iPhone, can be on Goojet with you and you can share goojets or send messages to them too! (Goojet is available on more than 300 phones thanks to the java-based client).

And now some screenshots of this new app:

Goojet awarded Red Herring Top 100 Global Company


winners

We announced last week that we were among the finalists of the Red Herring Global 100 Award, and in fact we are winner of this award!

Guillaume (Goojet’s CEO) came back with this good news from San Diego on FRiday where the conference and the ceremony took place and it is now official and public since today and the mail we received from Red Herring.

The 100 winners were selected from a list of 1800 companies who were all previous finalists or winner of a “local” edition (we were a Red Herring Europe Top 100 winner).

When we look at the list of past award winners that include Google, Yahoo!, Skype, Netscape, Salesforce.com, and YouTube, we only have one objective : follow in their footsteps ;)

finalists_web_rh

Goojet already won Red Herring Europe 100 award last year and it was a great recognition for the Goojet team. Now we are pleased to announce that Goojet was selected among the finalists for the Red Herring 100 Global. Evaluations are made on both quantitative and qualititative criteria, such as innovation, management, global strategy and ecosystem integration. Were eligibles the companies from America, Asia and Europe that won a local price in the past 3 years.

To be part of such an exclusive liste makes us very happy and it shows well how we have been working since the launch of the beta in June 2008.

2008 was a very good year for Goojet and 2009 starts the same, great!
