A Big Week at blist

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.
