For a sneak preview in a ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/08/22/hey-dipsters-we-have-some-exciting-news/   Yahoo! announced their new Fire Eagle service today with a few launch partners including... you guessed it: Dipity!  The idea behind Fire Eagle is simple, users should have one place to update their location, and many places to use it.  This struck a chord pretty quickly with Ryan Romanchuk, our ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/08/13/dipity-fire-eagle-a-time-and-a-place-for-everything/ One of the things we get to do from time to time is take the technology we've built and focus it in a new way. First we did this for videos with TimeTube for YouTube, next we focused on images from Flickr with Tickr and now we give you Digg ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/07/30/digg-deeper-with-digg-days/ OK, so maybe that's a little over-the-top, but we did put out a lot of cool stuff!  We've been really happy about getting used by some great sites like The Guardian, Fox, Santa Cruz Sentinel, Salt Lake Tribune, and Wired's CultofMac (and a slew of blogs).  They've also been nice ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/07/25/publishers-rejoice/ What's Jiggle? It's that little bit of gravy that makes your app go from functional to fun (think Treo v. iPhone). As part of our "hack day" competition/celebration, Ben got jiggly with it, and won himself the gold. Our timelines now bounce, fade, fly in, slow with friction, speed up ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/06/16/getting-jiggly-with-it/ After TimeTube's resounding success, we decided to show that it's not just videos that can be organized and displayed in a more interesting way. Next up were photos, so naturally: Time + Flickr = Tickr! The images themselves are really stunning (thanks Flickr users!), but it's also a really neat ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/06/04/tick-tick-tick-its-tickr/ As the first of many mashups to come, we launched TimeTube today... and couldnt be happier about how it turned out. It really seems like we fired on all cylinders for this one... it's clean, simple, shiny, and best of all totally useful. TimeTube adds a dimension to ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/05/08/dipity-youtube-timetube-and-it-rocks/ Being down for 91 minutes yesterday easily raised the company blood pressure a good 91 points. But, we've added infrastructure, built out our failover plans, and collectively breathed a small sigh of relief. I think it may be a rite of passage for a web startup to go down ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/04/26/humming-along/ I woke up this morning, started responding to some user feedback, went to our bug tracking software and....loading....loading....loading. Not good. Next stop www.dipity.com, same result. Looks like we're experiencing a bit of a downtime. We've rolled up our sleeves, gotten out hardhats and pulled out our screwdrivers. In short. We're looking ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/04/24/our-wires-are-crossed/ A few days ago Dipsters got together to celebrate our official 1 year anniversary as a company. Derek was semi-elusive all week about his plans for an offsite for April 12th, which turned out to be a row of seats at AT&T Park in San Francisco. It was windy and chilly ... http://blog.dipity.com/2008/04/18/hey-hey-its-our-birthday/
