Oddswop - We're alive!!

Someone once said if you aren't embarrassed by your initial release you have launched too late.  Well... I'm certainly not embarrassed by it but it still has a lot to go feature wise.  We threw a lot of things overboard in order to get it alive.  There are still some issues we're working out but it was good enough for me to tell Andre to push the beta.oddswop.com.au to the www subdomain early this morning.

With a bunch of tools helping out with the launch side of things that was pretty smooth going.  The problem was all the cross browser stuff, in particular Internet Explorer.  Thank goodness Dave actually uses IE (don't ask!) and could do testing quickly.  There are still issues with IE8 and IE9 but some of those... well... some of them just aren't compatible with the features built into the site!

We had a session in the morning about our next major feature -- the Communities model and then it was lunch time.  Had a great time discussing user acquisition and other features we need to bring back into the fold.

Here's a photo of us celebrating over lunch...

You can see Andre is very proficient at Selfies!

So day 1... this is what the site looks like:
