Happy Birthday Twitterfone
Twitterfone was born yesterday.
With no advertising budget it was up to myself, David Marcus, Florian Seroussi, Ivan MacDonald and Sean O Sullivan to use our individual networks to get it out the door.
First port of call was the amazing powerhouse Michael Arrington of Techcrunch.
Mike’s post got us of to a positive start and the post is running at nearly 150 comments.
Next stop was Twitter itself, Michael done a test post using Twitterfone and this was the catalyst.
.
After that it was fully speed ahead on Twitter, invites were begged, stole but never borrowed. The mentions of twitterfone at one stage were hitting crazy levels.
For most of last night we were one of top words on Twitter.
The total coverage was beyond anything I have ever seen in 24hrs, 148 blog mentions, 1690 mentions on Google.
So back to the product
only 3 customers problems in first 24hrs, lots and lots of users, all seemingly happy.
10,102 sign-ups
Twitterfone France being launched tomorrow.
we intend to add a couple of countries a week and will be distributing invites on a daily basis.
Rodney Rumford even gave us a video review.
So thanks to everyone who helped out, blogged, twittered and everything else especially Damien Mulley who helped me refine and refine the initial press release.

Well done – this is a great inspiration to other Irish companies toiling away. 10 thousands sign ups in 1 day – that is astonishing.
I easily say I do what I love and love what I do but here it’s true LOVE.
Thanks Pat, David, Ivan and Sean for being so professional. I don’t believe in luck too much. It’s hard dedicated work and it happened.
We are the first international Voice 2.0 enterprise between Cork, Dublin, Geneva, Miami and San Francisco.
