Changes

This blog deserve an update. So many things happened in the last couple of months that I couldn’t even take few minutes to write more than 140 characters. So what’s up? I got promoted and now have a new job, and I launched a second iPhone app.

Since a couple of days I’m now working at Seesmic as Product Manager. This is a great opportunity to work with my friend Loic again so I accepted the challenge! “Oh OK, you’re working for that video conversation website?” Maybe you’ve been in a cavern in the last months, but Seesmic is now focusing on making software to manage your community, manage your Twitter and Facebook accounts in one place. We have a Desktop version, a new Web version and we’ll soon be available on mobile devices starting by the iPhone. So many things are happening in that space, that the next couple of months are going to be very exciting.

After adding a couple of nice feature to Voilà! and playing with the new iPhone 3.0 SDK, I decided that it was time to work on a really nice and simple app I wanted to realize for a while. I met with Jeremy, a talented designer in San Francisco, and he like the idea, so we decided to work on Serenade together. Serenade is a free iPhone application that allows you to share songs you’re listening to on your iPhone or iPod touch with the world. Right now, you can share them on Twitter, but Facebook is around the corner, and other nice features. We have a lot more to add (like lyrics, top songs,…) to make it the best social music player, but it’s a good start. We’re working on it, and it’s very rewarding. Apple is probably going to launch some sort of social features like we have in Serenade in the next version of iTunes, that proves that this space is hot! Anyway, you can learn more about Serenade on Crist Drive’s website, as well as on Vimeo where we made a really nice ad.

This is it, I’ll try to update my blog more often now, even if it’s not going to be as often as my Twitter or my Tumblr accounts.
