The hypnotic hum of servers is interrupted by the the melody of Nick’s fingers dancing on the keyboard. The URL is typed in and with the stroke of the Enter key the room goes silent. Eyes fixed on the title on the little tab… “Loading” hangs there for what seems like an eternity, we’re holding our breaths and only realize it when the home page of the site loads. An audible sigh of relief echoes through the tiny room. The home page comes to life. We run our tests and the site hums along, responding correctly to all our demands. We look around in silence once again…
“We’re Live!”
Well, almost… We’re in beta… Almost…
The site is up and running, but the DNS needs a bit of time to catch up. So go and check it out, with any luck it will catch up by noon. LobbyThem.com
Oh, our FaceBook is up in limited release as well, not quite ready for the public yet, but it will be very soon.
The weekend has been a tremendous learning experience for all of us. We’ve met great people, made friends, built a product, and finally… launched it
Stay tuned for more as we post details on what we did well, what we think we did wrong, and the many lessons we’ve learned during this great weekend.
