iPling is moving forward toward our goals! iPling Anunciate al Instante (Instant Classifieds) began public beta tests in Mexico City last month. Our technology partner, Spime, is working on some issues that arose with scaling, but in general the service was received with enthusiasm and we're looking forward to ramping up the promotion engine within a few months now.We're also preparing to submit the iPhone app version of the service to Apple later this year, a move that will open up Instant Classifieds to the US market. We're really excited about the US potential and will let you know as soon as it's ready for download.
Finally, on the list of what we're reading, did you see this article in Monday's New York Times? At iPling we believe necessity is the mother of invention, and there's lots of necessity in developing economies. That's why we love to keep an eye on mobile innovation around the globe, even in countries that aren't normally on the technology radar.
October should see some big announcements from iPling. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted here on the blog!
