Push the button!

"Launch it Andy!" 9pm Wednesday night Christian finally pushes the button. 6,523 listings - mainly from our community launch partners XING, Ecademy and a lengthy list Edwina and Fredi have been compiling for the last three months.

Daniela calls from home after lying in bed all day with her sprained ankle excited beyond words. "It's live! It's live! We're live!". Our celebrations are decentralized that evening with the boys eating tapas and drinking beer in a smoky bar. Marco our ruby developer from Italy flew in for the week. Jean Michel is preparing for this weeks Barcelona ruby gathering. Toni our Product Manager extraordinare is at home stuck to his monitor ensuring the starfish breathes enough air to survive the night. And Gregory is resting his brain from all the hours of user testing giving us confidence the site actually makes sense.

It's show time!
