Visible Measures featured on techcrunch
One of my good friends and former co-workers is a key code monkey for Visible Measures and certain he is glad to see their company being talked about on Tech Crunch.
They seemed to have closed a $10 million series C round of funding, led by Northgate Capital which hopefully means more work will be coming my way. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. All kidding aside, it’s no surprise to me as their product is quite amazing and know @1G33K and his team work very long hours and are extremely dedicated to their app.
Congrats!

Visible Measures demo on demo.com
The public finally gets to see this fantastic app in progress after last night’s demo on demo.com. I think they did fantastic job demonstrating the app’s behavior and potential. VM’s app captures internet video audience behavior and provides very rich graphs and details about what happens when someone watches a particular video.
Visible Measures launches new site and Internet Video Industry’s First Audience Behavior Measurement Suite
What that means is layman’s terms is video statistics. They’ve made this app that captures what people do when watching a video, such as pause, rewind, mute, turn the volume up, etc… and convert that data into something usable. Very cool stuff. I’m currently working with a good friend of mine who is a programmer over at Visible Measures on the UI for their application. Unfortunately, I still am not able to post screen caps but I can assure you, this app rocks.
Checkout their press release over here.

Hug a developer today
Funny yet sad video demonstrating the hardships of developers and their out of whack project management. My old boss Craig from Devshop put this together and must say he did a great job. Check out my little homie Dylan doing a great acting job.
Shopify marketplace launched!
The Shopify marketplace has recently launched and I must say is quite kick ass. The functionality allows you to search the thousands of Shopify stores for products, even within a certain price range. The featured shop of the day is also quite cool. Very nice work guys.

ThinkVitamin.com, good reading…
I Read an interesting article today on ThinkVitamin.com. It has magnificent advise for those who are involved in a software company. I am constantly intrigued by companies who want to remove the “bs” from marketing. I think people have had enough of being mislead and charged ridiculous amount of money for software. With Web apps growing in popularity, startups are charging next to nothing, I think of David vs Goliath and I think Goliath is going down. 🙂
