Version 3.0
Well, I have just come from a product dev meeting and to be honest it just blew me away. We are very close to releasing the latest version of gBlast and it is looking good.
It has been a long time coming as it was basically a complete re-write which was a little bit of a risk as far as i was concerned but boy has it payed off, what we now have is a leaner, more responsive and even more intuitive platform for you guys.
If you dont already have an account be sure to sign up for one now as we will be releasing this new platform into closed testing very soon and our current customers will be the first to experience it.
A couple of the new features that you will see are:
Completely customizable reseller version, something that has been widely requested but unfortunately was impractical to implement on V2 is finally going to become a reality.
Hugely improved analytics and reporting features.
Integration with our upcoming Twitter/Facebook marketing platform.
New list manager that improves list segmentation.
Those are a few of the improvements that you can look forward to, be sure to keep cheeking back for a confirmed release dates and I will try and post some screen shots soon.
Ciao for now.

Help Desk
As our customer base grows, the demands on our support team grows. We are now implementing a help desk using zendesks platform and should be launching this feature soon. We have played around and tested several different platforms and came to this decision primarily because ZenDesk rocks! … It really is a great platform and provides everything we need to integrate our growing international support team (promise, i’m not being payed by these guys 
). Its currently being customized to do exactly what we want and will be up and running shortly.
I plan on giving you a look at all the tools we use internally to help keep gBlast running smoothly so keep your eyes peeled for that post. I know I have mentioned it before, but it is coming I promise. In the mean time, I will link you to campaign monitors post on a similar subject, its a great insight into a great company.

Microsoft Kin
You may not have heard of it yet but i’m pretty sure you will soon. Microsoft’s new social media focused phone is an interesting one to be sure, you can read more about it here.
Despite not being received too well I still see a market for them and find myself wondering what kind of impact these devices will have on social media as a marketing platform. Already a huge growth area, I can see this making waves.
What are your thoughts?

We’re Moving
Time has come… well actually it went a wee while ago but now were are finally moving. We have met with a few interior designers and architects who are going to help us sculpt our new space into a den of productivity and general awesomeness. We have learned quite a lot in our few years here as well as from watching similar companies grow, and are really looking forward to building something great. I will keep you updated with progress pics etc once work has started. Why not check out office snapshots in the mean time, I know some of the companies covered provided me with inspiration, aside from that its generally quite an interesting blog.
Cheers
