Edmodo Nearing Launch

admin — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:47:44 +0000

I just wanted to let everyone know that Edmodo is almost ready for launch. Nic & I have been hard at work trying to finalize the beta. It's been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get to this point. We wanted to launch quite a while ago, but unfortunately life has gotten in the way.

Technically Edmodo hasn't been that difficult to build, but when you work day jobs and can't work on something all day long, responsibilities somehow make you deviate from your goals.

The delays have not been a bad thing, they have been exciting times for Nic and myself. Nic graduated college, started his first real job, and bought his first house all while working on Edmodo when he can find free time.

Edmodo on Twitter

jeff — Sat, 24 May 2008 02:28:03 +0000

I just wanted to write and let everybody know Edmodo is on Twitter. We have been on twitter for quite some time, but really haven't promoted the account. As we near launch we are going to start to use the Edmodo twitter account a bit more for announcements, help, support, and pretty much however you want to interact.

You can follow us at the following twitter accounts:

http://twitter.com/edmodo - The official Edmodo Twitter account
http://twitter.com/zemote - Jeff's personal Twitter account
http://twitter.com/nicborg - Nic's personal Twitter account

If you just want to say hi, @ us and we will get back to you :)

If your not sure what twitter is, watch the following video to learn more about twitter, what it is, and what it can do for you.

Edmodo around the web

I thought I would share with everyone a few of the more in depth articles that have been written about Edmodo.

Welcome Techcrunch readers

admin — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 23:22:48 +0000

I would like to thank Tech Crunch for writing about edmodo. We would also like to thank Techcrunch readers for visiting our little startup.

We are currently finalizing a few things before we launch our beta, and are hoping to start sending invites out in the next couple of weeks.

Progress update

admin — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 10:19:40 +0000

I just wanted to let everybody know that Edmodo is coming along quite nicely, and we are currently in a heavy round of development and bug fixes. We are finishing up some features, fixing bugs, and are hoping to invite some testers soon. The first round of testers will be for people that want to help with bug fixes and to demo the product. It will not be intended for use in classroom just yet. I would like to thank everybody that has signed up to our e-mail list and continue to support us.

Screenshot Teaser

I thought I would tease everybody with a screen capture of what is shaping up to become Edmodo. We have been working hard over the last couple weeks in order to get a working demo ready to show people and shortly thereafter a working Alpha product for people to test out and break. I would like to thank everyone who has been giving Nic & I moral support and believing we could build something really special. I would also like to thank Nic for building a really great product for us and with out him Edmodo would not be a reality.

Changes Already

The Edmodo blog is brand new and already we are undergoing changes here. We switched from Wordpress to Drupal today. I just felt Wordpress didn't give us enough in terms of flexibility. Drupal is the grand daddy of flexibility.
