LetsBuyIt Blog

After having met Addy Feuerstein at the DLD 08 Conference by Burda in Munich last January 2008, Allofme has now opened their ports to the beta users. Being a fan of timelines, we just had to try out this interesting media-aggregator for ourselves.

The BillyTimeline has been enriched with some few videos, photos and entries and it already looks interesting. Not all the uploading features are active yet however you can upload all some offline files or your data from Picasa, Flickr, YouTube & Twitter already. Check it out because it is an interesting way to demonstrate information on a horizontal chronological timeline in comparison to the top-to-bottom textual way. We are trying to visualise our developments a little and this timeline is an entertaining piece of work.

In case you were wondering about whether we will be present at the E-Commerce Convention 2008 in Paris this year, we are glad to announce that Billy, our Ant, will take us along. Many of you will be able to see Billy very quickly because he is presenting himself in his best manner and at the same time it is difficult to oversee him

Don’t hesitate to talk to Billy or our team and ask about our new Letsbuyit, the new innovative way of shopping! You can also find out what Billy is doing by following his twitter and check out his facebook profile (Billy Letsbuyit) or our posterous!!!

With the introduction of Yammer we are getting a serious company now! This enterprise version of twitter has won the price as best start-up entry at the Techcrunch50 2008 competition (which took place from the 8th until the 10th of September in San Francisco).

Yammer is just like twitter however a corporate version for only colleagues and log-in, which makes it much easier to communicate with your colleagues and see what they are up to. Makes the team work more efficient! You will always be up to date what you are colleagues are working on, how everybody is progressing, when the next meeting will take place, etc.! This small intranet works well however the question is whether the users will animate it, like always!

As long as your colleagues are not trying to spam, control or bully you it is all good and a really good team-work tool!

This TechCrunch-certified tool gets our thumbs up and the account is set up.

First judgement: only useful when you are colleagues are using it (along with skype, msn, twitter, gmail chat, icq, etc.

Have you noticed that Letsbuyit.com is also on Twitter? In case you have never noticed it we have put a special candy on the Twitter on the 24.07.2008 at 15:58h EST we are sure that you will like it for those who are interesting in knowing some inside information of Letsbuyit. Tip: Beta Launch!!!
