eXpresso Launches

After several months, even more sleepless nights, and the amazing efforts of a lot of people here in the US and in Vietnam, we officially launched eXpresso this week! The product looks great and without exception we've had very positive feedback from users, analysts and the press. I suspect that everyone will hear a whole lot more about eXpresso in the coming months.

For me personally it has been and continues to be an amazing experience. Bringing a hosted software application to the market that has appeal to potentially millions of users is really exhilirating. In my role as VP of product marketing, I have had the privilege of working very closely with an amazing engineering team in Vietnam, an up-and-coming managed hosting provider (Rackspace), Venture Capitalists, and a marketing team that has a whole lot to learn about marketing online applications (this includes me). It feels great showing the product to senior folks at companies like Microsoft and Salesforce.com and hearing them praise our efforts to date and encouraging us to keep them in the loop of what we're doing.

The rest of 2007 will consist of a lot of hard work, but I sense that this will be rewarding one way or another.
