Ping.sg is 3 Today

Hard to believe, it has been 3 years since we first started.

We have certainly come a long way to be at what we are at now.

Thanks to all the Pingsters for the continual support and believing in us. Every single one of you have made it possible for us to go on this long and we hope that you have also benefited from our site, either in increasing of traffic to your site or in making new friends.

Yes, it’s our birthday today, but unfortunately, we are also scheduling a downtime some time later today. It’s a bad time to go down, but we had to expand. Don’t worry, it will only be for less than 2 hours.

Thank you all and happy 3rd anniversary to Ping.sg!

Moving Ahead to 2009

Things have been pretty slow over at the development of Ping.sg the last few months, we admit.

We have had quite a few of changes line up that we would like to roll out in that period but we weren’t able to deliver them on time due to several reasons.

Come 2009, things will be different we promise. There will be a lot of interesting changes lining up and they will be rolling in right from January onwards. Our focus for 2009 would be the following:

• enhancing the bloggers’ experience of using the platform.
• improving the usability of the platform.
• introducing new methods and/or improving current methods of organizing and making sense of the bulk of interesting blog posts that Ping.sg is receiving by the minute.
• increasing the reach of Ping.sg by introducing more values to the bloggers and active and passive platform users
• and a ton of other interesting changes.

Heck, why wait till 2009. To show that we are serious about it, we will be rolling out some changes before the end of the year. Do stay tuned for your christmas presents.

In the mean time, keep rocking Ping.sg!
