Freshview profiled in The Sydney Morning Herald
Posted by David Greiner on May 15, 2007 2:04 PM
While it's not exactly front page material, Freshview received a great mention in the Business section of today's Sydney Morning Herald. The full page article discussed the uptake of Web 2.0 technologies in corporate Australia, using Freshview as an example of successfully creating a great community around our products. Here's a nice snippet...
Adopting the web 2.0 ethos has paid benefits for Freshview, a company that employs only five people and spends next to nothing on marketing. Co-founder David Greiner says the company has created a very active community, allowing it to sign up 25,000 registered customers including Apple and eBay.
A big hat tip to Campaign Monitor customer Grant Young for the kind words he had to say about our software, not to mention the massive photo he managed to sneak in. Grant had this to say about the Campaign Monitor blog and design gallery...
"Their blog has been fantastic - particularly for us when we were redeveloping our newsletter," Mr Young says. "The blog has a gallery that promotes their customers' emails, and it was a really rich way for us to get an idea about what other people were doing and how they were doing it."
You can check out the full article on the Herald site.

Saw the article too - funny, my mother also noticed it.
I've had my eye on you guys for a while - living only 10 minutes away from Sutherland is an added bonus too.
Unfortunately, you use this thing called ".NET" where I use this thing called "PHP." If it wasn't for that, you'd have my application in 10 minutes.

Heh - I don't know what happened re: that photo. One minute I'm pimping you guys, next minute they're calling for a photo shoot :|
Anyways - glad to help - still love the service - trying to sneak it into my new jobs ;)
Got anything to add?
