I remember how everything started: a simple idea, a lot of ambition and a lot of work (long nights ended by sleeping on some improvised beds at 2 AM, right there at the office). Two years later, we’re still working on it, but we sleep at home. :)
If things go well, what we call Blogvio, will be up by the end of this year, in beta.
The web has changed a lot since we decided to build this project. Flash is regarded as a dying technology by some, HTML5 is the new cool thing, WordPress has grown considerably, and some of it’s competitors have either shut down or sold. All this affects in a way or another how we move forward, but the idea remains the same: Blogvio brings interactivity to blogs.
This is (will be) the smartest and fastest way for people to share content in a visually pleasing manner, and it still looks like we’re the only ones taking this challenge in our hands.
We had the opportunity to work with excellent people (and some of the other category), we had amazing clients and challenging (long) projects, some lasting for as long as we’ve been known as Vuzum. The most exciting part of all this though, remains the fact that we’ve grown to a team of seven, we’ve changed offices once, and we have exciting plans moving forward (such as opening an office in London in the near future, launching our company’s website, drinking more beer).
So it looks like what started as a simple idea (Blogvio), has evolved into two different start-ups (Flabell, Themesbell) and a company where we do amazing client work. I want to thank all our clients for the chance to work on some of the most awesome projects on the web, but also to all the guys and galls that had passed our office doors! Here’s to more years of internet awesomeness! Here’s to Vuzum! (me opening up a beer) :)
