Froogloid’s 1 Year Anniversary!
Has it only been one year? Pretty sure team Froogloid has aged about 10! haha! It’s been a crazy ride the past 12 months. Here a few of my most memorable moments.
- + The Launch of the G1. Holy smokes it actually works!
- + Waiting for “paid” apps to launch. Seems like it took forever!
- + The launch of a2b and our first dollar of revenue! 2/19/09
- + Answering 5,474,764 customer service emails!
- + Key Ring is patent pending!
- + Fun podcasts with androidguys.com and motodev!
- + Award nominations for both Key Ring and a2b via the android network awards!
- + The google android developer conference. Finally, names with faces! Met a great game developer by the name of Jeremy Slade as well!
- + What’s twitter??? Okay, I guess I’ll give it a shot :) Met guru 3D annimation artist, Mark Reisch. The power of twitter :)
- + Key Ring launches! Becomes the number one paid shopping app in 48 hours! Then we made it free 3 weeks later haha
- + Getting a free MyTouch at the google dev conf. Finally, a phone I would use!
- + Cows and Potatoes! What a great mix! 3 months later we have a game :)
- + The launch of the Motorola Cliq, Samsung Galaxy, HTC Hero, and soon the HTC DROID! 3 of the 4 largest US carriers now sell android handsets! AT&T, where you at?????
- + Smack talking DROID commercials on the iPhone! haha
Working in the mobile space isn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination, but if you thrive off of competition, being innovative, and solving real world problems it can be one of the most rewarding jobs ever! Here we are a year later with roughly 100,000 customers and I have no doubt we’re going to see explosive growth with android/our apps in the next few months. It’s been a pleasure working in the android space and we look forward to driving on and delivering best in class applications!
To say thanks for all the support we’ve received over that past year, we’re going to give away several free versions of a2b! I’ll announce the give away via twitter. Follow us at @froogloid!
Okay, time for a beer :)
