Big in Japan Update

July 28, 2008

Several of you noted that we hadn’t updated the Big in Japan blog since April of this year.  Oops.  I have been doing my Big in Japan updates (i.e. Whitebox, ServiceGuy, SocialTones, Fan Podcast, SimpleTicket) here and didn’t bother to update the Big in Japan blog (sorry about that).  Anyway, there is quite a bit going on so here goes:

First, we are actively growing ServiceGuy - now in more than 21 cities around the United States.  WhiteBox is launching WhiteForm this week to several auto dealers.  Fan Podcast, now in its third year, is being featured on FX’s hit series The Shield this season.  We continue to manage custom technology for LEGO and their LEGO Universe project.  Finally, we are actively developing SocialTones for the new Google Android phone platform.

What is next for Big in Japan?  Look for exciting progress on SimpleTicket (our VERY neglected trouble ticket system) as well as some interesting work on Nagios (the network monitoring system we have used for years).  Our new coworking space is open (our first tenants are moving in on Thursday).  Anyway, lots going on.  Almost too much to cover in a simple blog post.
