An Auspicious Start

Last Thursday we did a soft launch of Sharein. Mashable picked up our story and gave us an awesome review! Since then, we’ve been getting very favorable tweets and mentions. Over a thousand new users tried us overnight and the trend is growing at a very healthy clip. At Sharein, we are in awe. Your response has exceeded our wildest expectations. We are so thankful to our users and delight to hear how they are enjoying Sharein. 

A few other sites have also picked up on the launch. It really surprised us how the international community has embraced Sharein. We had reviews in French, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian and Arabic. And this is just day five! 

We’ve also collecting feedback from you, our users. A few ideas are starting take shape. We’re seeing a need for simultaneous posting to Twitter AND Facebook in one go. We’re seeing folks asking for better management of their bookmarks. The ability to delete, make changes to the bookmarks, tag them etc. are all coming.

One thing we weren’t sure how well the community would embrace was the advance influence tracking we provided. Are users only interested in the simplicity and convenience of the bookmarklet, or are users very much interested in tracking their impact and influence? With time we will get more data points on usage and will use this to guide our product roadmap.

In the meantime, we are really appreciative of any feedback, either product improvements or new functionality you’d like us to create. We want to build Sharein based on what you, the user wants. So go ahead. Send us your feedback and ideas. We are waiting to hear from you. Just click on the “Feedback” button on the right side of any Sharein page and tell us what you think.

Once again, from the Sharein staff, THANK YOU!
