V3 Crowdstorm has arrived – UK & US
Apr 25th, 2008 by philip.wilkinson

Hurray – we’ve finally got our much improved site out there for Crowdstorm UK and Crowdstorm USA

Crowdstorm Browse & Refine

We’re concentrating on making it stable now, ironing out the remaining 67 bugs, and ensuring the speed is high enough. If you see any bugs or want to make some general feedback – use the green link at the top of the page, fill in your comments, then press submit. We’re not making a big fuss about this one as we’ve still lots of things to do to it.

You’ll notice we’re now importing a lot more content in user reviews and expert reviews, and we’ve got a few deals to announce in the next few weeks. Also – welcome to our new Television and DVD Player categories!

Key things still to do:

  • Clean & simplify a few of the pages
  • Implement new designs for user profiles and dashboard
  • Work on a smoother login process
  • Make it easier to ask questions and submit other content types
  • Improving the algorithms for Crowd recommendations, related review content etc..
  • Rewrite and check all the emails and alerts we send to users
  • Watch and monitor how everybody uses the site so we can improve things..

Lastly, as mentioned above – this is a quiet release and we don’t want anyone blogging it in the current format, if you don’t mind. Ta very much.

Nearly there – Crowdstorm V3
Apr 25th, 2008 by philip.wilkinson

We’re getting ready to launch the new Crowdstorm product (V3) tonight and Sobek is currently tweaking the google adwords code while I’m browsing iStockPhoto looking for better images of numbers in circles! Strange what you do late at night…

Crowdstormers Solving a Puzzle

I liked the image above as it reminds me of the networking effect of people sharing product recommendations with each other.. Right, time for another cup of tea and onwards and upwards..

A Merry Crowdstorm Christmas
Dec 22nd, 2007 by philip.wilkinson

Have a great holiday and we’ll be back in the new year with a whole heap of announcements. Thanks for everyone’s support this year – we couldn’t have done it without you.

Oh, and remember you can always come to Crowdstorm UK or Crowdstorm USA when you’ve got your gifts and want to tell the world how good or bad they are!

Crowdstorm United States Site goes live!
Dec 5th, 2007 by philip.wilkinson

Wow – another milestone and about time too eh ;-) About an hour ago, the US site went live at www.crowdstorm.com

Now of course we have to check for bugs, keep bringing in more of our expert review feeds, and tidying up all the loose ends for the next 48hrs. Still – it’s a great feeling to be operating fully in two countries now (UK and US) and evolving our site and platform from there.
