Pulling iBlogger off the #iPhone #AppStore a few years ago wasn't an easy decision. One of the first apps on the App Store in 2008, iBlogger had grown a loyal following of thousands of bloggers who had created over a million blog posts in the first couple years. Countless more after that. To save the product, we had to kill it. But iBlogger was always a labor of love for my team, not really a profit center. We didn't have the bandwidth to maintain the old Objective C source code and migrate the app to Swift at the same time. Too many things were changing at once, new blog platforms being created, old ones being retired, new protocols, social media, and a strong demand for iPad support when the core of the app made unfortunate assumptions about iPhone screen sizes. To save the product, we had to kill it. So we did. Today, that painful decision bears fruit. iBlogger is back on the iPhone and #iPad #AppStore! iBlogger 3 is a great new foundation for the future of mobile bloggi
Funny. It would be a FAIL if I didn't know up from down, for sure. I was speaking in front of 400 people on stage and I pulled out my iPhone from my pocket to talk about the connected nature of the device. It happened to be upside down in my pocket and I didn't even look at the front while holding it. I'm glad to see that someone finally noticed it other than me. I've used this photo for years and laughed at it from time to time.
ReplyDeleteYeah and what about those glasses? They don't even go over Raven's ears.
ReplyDeleteCorrective eye wear FAIL!
BTW Where did you get from Raven?
I think this falls into the category of ... if you can't find anything better to criticize, then they must be doing pretty well. ;)
ReplyDelete@ravenme... I agree. I just thought your web site was so beautiful and well organized and, well, nearly perfect, that the upside-down phone leapt off the page. I've decided that it's reminiscent of the perfect flaw concept of japanese pottery.
