Celebrate-the-Launch-Contest – Win Free Accounts

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

We are celebrating our launch not only by having a barbecue. We are also giving away free doingText accounts! 3 Large Plans, 5 Medium Plans and 10 Small Plans will be raffled.

To participate in the contest simply mention doingText somewhere: say something on twitter, facebook or your blog, put up a video on YouTube or do whatever you can think of. Then add the link or a screenshot into our Celebrate-the-launch-discussion.

The contest is open until Apr, 22nd. Next Thursday our fairy will draw the winning names. We will be giving away 3 Large Plans, 5 Medium Plans and 10 Small Plans - free for a lifetime.

This contest is open for everyone, not just doingText users. So tell your friends :)

We launched! And we have a glamorous new design!

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Pure excitement here at doingText. We’re now out of beta and along with the launch, we gave our doingText a fresh design.

Yesterday has been a very busy day. In the morning the last tests for the credit card payments went well and that was the starting signal. doingText left the beta and went online with its fresh design. Right afterwards, a few problems occurred. As a colleague said: It’s not a real launch if you have no bugs in it. In detail, OpenID didn´t work and the Internet Explorer still was a bit beastly. But that is solved already. If you still happen to find any bugs, please tell us so. You can email us on support@doingtext.com or leave a message in our Feedback Forum.
So everything was ready for the barbecue in the evening, chilling and celebrating doingText’s launch.

The subcsriptions are now open, too. As announced, we offer several plans starting with the Free Account and the Micro Plan and going up to the Really Large plan. You can up- or downgrade or cancel your subscription at any time. Payment can be made with credit cards (VISA and Mastercard).

The API is there.

One of the most desired features is finally here. We have created an API for doingText.

For now the API supports viewing a user’s list of discussions, viewing a single discussion including comments and creating a new discussion. Details can be found on our website.

Have fun integrating doingText into your own projects and we’d love to hear about the way you use the API.
