Facebook glitches

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Hello All,

We have been having multiple problems with changes Facebook are making to their platform which has inadvertently affected the IRipple app.

Your clicks are being tracked – just not showing up automatically. When you ripple next time, you will notice a link allowing you to update your stats. Try it and let usknow if all is working fine.

We’ll continue to work on adjusting to the facebook changes.

Zaishtastic

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

A Super Special Thank You (note use of capitals) to the guys at Zaishu in Sydney who managed to raise some significant moolah towards the ripple 2.0 fund by auctioning off Zaishu chairs. We love the design and can’t wait to deck our office out with some of these slot together seats…all we need is an office and someone to pay the rent. Any takers?!

Keep your eyes peeled and your ears zested for more upcoming Zaishu auctions…

More news from Dennis

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Dennis still appears to be having a smashing time in SE Asia…

He sent us this pic of him indulging in a spot of street vendor Pad thai.

Of course…Dennis doesn’t technically have a mouth…he just absorbs food. All in a days work.
