Goojet keeps on progressing and offers you a release with 2 huge improvements especially on the mobile side: now, you can put an infinite number of goojets in your homepage and you are also able to search and add goojets directly from your mobile phone!
So, forget difficult choices to pick only 7 goojets for your first page or to organize your goojets in folders, etc… Now you can have directly on the first page as many goojets as you want! Obviously folders still exist but it’s a “power user” function: to send several goojets to friends at once, or for the order maniacs we love 
A small preview of this new version :
The 3 permanent icons at the top let you easily reach your profile, our suggestions and the useful new search function. We know you have been waiting for it for a long time! Because there will always be goojets you won’t have in your mobile when you’ll need it, you are now able to search and add it in one click only.
Of course, we’re also bringing with this update some other stuff: some (more and more rare) bugs fixes, we’ve improved the design of the catalogue and of some goojets (gallery and Flickr), the invitation by adding your address book is available again…
We released this week a new version of Goojet with some enhancements :
Major improvements
- Anonymous portal access : it is now possible to test and use Goojet on the web on the PC without having to be registered to the service. Everything is not accessible of course (parts of Goojet such as contacts, messages, comments on notes or walls are disabled, no creation of Goojet etc…). To test Goojet without registration, it’s here.
- Blackberry Runtime : finally a dedicated version of Goojet for the Blackberry handsets. After lots of requests from users (and lot of work from our side) we are happy to propose Goojet to people with a Blackberry. With this improvement, we now support Blackberry, Iphone and more 400 java-based handsets so that almost everyone can use Gooejt on its phone !
Miscellaneous :
- Mail notifications can now be managed on goojet.com
- Much more goojets coming from partners
- Search Engine Optimization for the goojets
- Various text changes on the portal and on window design
- Search for goojets has been improved a lot
- Goojets can now be shared to non-registered users
- Various debugging of course
- (And also lots of differents things improved in our back office that you cannot see : stats, content manager, “Goojy”etc…)
We just put on line a new version which brings lots of novelties and modifications. Here is the list, almost exhaustive, of the changes.
As you’ll see in this list, most of them are our answers to your feedback (by email, via Goojy, on the forum, here on the blog or via twitter), so keep on giving us the same again! If you don’t see in this list what you absolutely need on Goojet, it will surely be released the next time. Anyway tell it us in a comment !

It is available since a few days but we had to test it and to verify that everything was ok before making any communication concerning it. It is now ok : for all of you that have an Iphone (or an Ipod Touch but some communication tools such as SMS, calls etc… won’t run on it), we have a specific version of Goojet. It is not a java-based application of course (no java on Iphone) but a version that runs in the Iphone browser.
The only thing you need is to go to www.goojet.com on your Iphone.
No more waiting, here are some screenshots of the Iphone version of Goojet.

Examples of goojets :
Contact list and messages :
Some of you could ask where is the interest of an Iphone version of Goojet :
- Goojet it is having web services on a mobile phone, but it is also the sharing, the collaborative use of the services. With such possibilities, it is clera that we need Goojet to be usable on any kind of phone. Because if you want to use it with your friends, you don’t have to care about what phone he uses.
- The goojets’ catalog, the fact that everything is also usable on the web, the goojet sharing, the event-driven goojets etc… all these feature concerning the event and the community parts of Goojet are new, whatever the phone is, so we are sure we bring some value to the Iphones.
This Iphone version still needs some improvements. Do not hesitate to comment it, to tell us what you don’t like, what we have to improve etc…

We have not blogged here since a way too long time and even if we were all working hard on the new version of Goojet, it is not a good reason… So we’ll try to give your more news and content on this blog more often !
Today, what we have to show you is really great. It is some screenshots of the new version we’re preparing and that we will give you available in about one month ! Please be patient and you won’t regret it, this new version rocks !
Here is the new catalogue to find and discover goojets :
A part of the desktop lets you keep goojets opened
Finally, here you have the “Event dashboard”
We’re actually in Amsterdam for the conference “The Next Web” to showcase the new version. There is also a small competition with awards. So if you wanna support us, you can (you must) vote for us for the next web award.
Hi everyone,
We’ve just launched a new version of Goojet which brings a lot of bug fixes and improvements (actually, there are almost 100 new things in this version). All the different tasks that have been done are not visible for you, since a good part of them are concerning our back end (what you cannot see, nor feel) but several ones were asked by you in the feedback we received. We have to thank you for that : the majority of bug fixes and improvements we’ve done, it is beacause we received a demand coming from you ! So please keep sending us your feedback, your suggestions : leave us a comment on this blog , or write a post on the forum, or contact us by email (contact@goojet.com).
We are still in private beta, it is still the first version of Goojet, and here are the main improvements coming :
Functional improvements :
- It is now possible to add a text when sending (by drag&droping) a goojet to one or several people from your community of contacts (to describe it, explain why you send it etc…)
- We have worked a lot on latency issues and we’re happy to tell you that goojet ist much faster on lots of handsets.
- You can now change your mobile phone number on the web portal : open your profile and change the phone number so that you can test on different phones, or change it, or whatever you want?
- We now use the “Wap Push” method to let you install Goojet: you do not need to give your mobile model during the registration, it is directly detected by the SMS sent to you.
- To improve the comprehension of Goojet, the video “Goojet Tutorial” is launched when users log in to goojet for the first time. This video is also available on the website or on the blog.
- Link between goojeters : an invitation is automatically deleted when the goojeter has answered to it. Moreover, this invitation works now in boths directions : when you accept someone to become your friend (he can send you goojets) he becomes also your firend (you can send him goojets).
- The “RSS” Goojet has been improved : it is now possible to have a preview of it. And there is a better support fo feedburner-based rss.
- We have had several supported hansets : we have had new phones in the list so that we can better cover the main phones used by people.
Small improvements :
- Better comment visualisation on a note on a phone.
- Goojet has now a beatiful favicon
- Goojets have been re-organized on the web platform to fit the grid.
- The number of goojets found is now shown after a serach request.

- Blog and Forum links are now active on the web portal

- “Profile” is changed : the user name and the avatar pic are shown.
- We have homogenized the use of Name + Surname instead of the login.
- We have limited the size of pics to 500ko
Debugging (almost 50 bugs have been resolved thanks to your feedback, thanks again !).
- After logging out, you now come back to the website, and not to and old page…
- Better confirmation messages on the web portal
- No more bug when sending a goojet folder to a friend.
- No more bug concerning the number of goojets in the Goobox.
- No more bug when sending a goojet named with special caracters

And we say it again, we have worked a lot on bugs and improvements that are not visible but that (now that they are solved) highly improve the goojet use.
Please note also that, besides to the bug fixes an improvements made to the actual version, the Goojet team is working hard on the next version of Goojet that will go live in two or three months and that will bring lots of changes… but we keep them still secret for the moment.
Thank you for keeping sending us feedback !
