Hi
The spellr.us team are excited to launch a stable production version of the spellr.us system - spellr.us v2.0 - this launches 26 February Australian time (sometime in the morning).
As a fun exercise in the wisdom of the crowds we want to ask the spellr.us fans how long you will think it will take for our first commercial customer to sign-up with spellr.us - 1 hour from launch? 5 days? 20 minutes?
Let us know your predictions in this blog - the person that is the closest will win a $US100 Amazon.com voucher.
BONUS: If you are the closest predictor time wise AND get the plan choice to match with the first customer we will up the Gift Voucher to $150!

Hi
Tomorrow sometime during the morning Australian time we will be releasing spellr.us version 2.0.
This version includes lots of bug fixes, slight UI changes, content filter enhancements and the billing module.
So today is the last day that ALL plans will be 100% free.
Please send all feedback regarding the pricing plans to admin at spellr.us .
Based on feedback we have already upgraded all plans to include content filters.
Some other feedback that has come through is to have an annual pricing option. We will consider this once we get a feel for which are the most popular pricing models.
Please keep the feedback coming and thanks for the support.
Kevin & the spellr.us team
We are very proud and excited to announce that the spellr.us service has officially launched.
We have a shiny new sparkling website and will be upgrading the application soon too.
Pricing remains FREE until 25 February 2009 - all existing beta testers will also be giving an extra discount - keep an eye on your inboxes.
Thanks to the team (Dain, Fiona, Charl. Jimmy) and a very special thanks to our uber talented zen developer James .
We look forward to receiving your feedback on the pricing plans.
We are also very excited to announce that we have been developing a link checking module which we will be releasing over the next few months - it will be available as an option.
Thanks for all the continued support and encouragement.

Unfortunately we had a delay with some issues relating to billing aspects of our system (as an Australian company charging in US$ across the 3 major credit cards was a lot trickier than we anticipated from a merchant facility point of view).
All has been resolved and launch of new website, new version of system plus release of pricing plans should not be too far away.
Thanks for your patience.

Australian Anthill magazine invited me to write an article about my experience at the TechCrunch50 Conference in San Francisco and my thoughts on Silicon Valley.

Hi All
We thought we would give “crowdsourcing” a go - here is a copy of the new website - a draft.
We would love positive, negative, any other comments that you make.
