A Big Week at blist

Posted by Kevin Merritt on February 3rd, 2008

As most of you know, we launched on Tuesday at DEMO. Here’s a recap of some of the industry coverage we received during the week:

Mashable – blist: Making Spreadsheets Fun?

GigaOm – blist Thinks Easy is the Killer Feature in Online Databases

Webware – blist: Awesome Web Database

TechTalkBlog – blist Builds Richer Documents

eWeek – What Google and Microsoft are Looking for at DEMO

PC World – A Database for the Rest of Us?

Dan Farber of ZDNet – Web Apps for Mere Mortals

We even got a little attention from our two local Seattle newspapers:

Seattle Times – Building the World’s Easiest Database

John Cook of the Seattle P-I: blist’s Database for the Rest of Us

We’ve also received a number of emails with suggestions, kudos and feedback. Thanks again for all the support and encouragement. We know we have a window of opportunity to add necessary features quickly and to live up to our potential. We look forward to that challenge.
