As we wrote here, we’ve got new plans for september. The activity is growing, we’ve some issues to work on and we’d like to start the autumn with new energies and resources. In order to do this, we’ve started a new round of investments and we can now announce that we just received a new investment of 1.5 ml of dollars that leads up founds to a total amount of 3 ml. This will let us have the opportunity of increasing quality and focusing on the mobile versions of the application.

As we told you in the last blog posts, we are working hard on quality to offer you a better experience with Dixero. We are now implementing new voices that will read your feeds, you’ll start hear changes in a few days with new channels you create and then we count working again on pronunciation during the next weeks. As the changes will need improvements day by day, all your feedbacks are welcome.

Well, here we are. As we’d like to have more than a glance into american culture, we decided to open a new office in Silicon Valley. It’s not only a matter of market, even if it being on site will help us to understand it better and keep tighter contacts with our actual and future business partners. What we’d like to do in our new office is to improve Dixero on site, observing behaviours and listening to your needs. We want to understand deeply how you are using the service to create something closer to what you really want. It will probably lead us up to start introducing local talented people in the team. We have huge projects in mind.

The office is located in Plug and Play Tech Center, Sunnyvale, CA. Here’s a picture Luca took there.

Yesterday we went to the Zürich’s date of  TechCrunch Euro tour, one of the events organized by TechCrunch UK. 40 swiss startups (si sono passate il testimone) on the stage to present what is their product in… 20 seconds. Never have had so a little time to present Dixero! We are very satisfied both about talks and interesting people we met.

As we discussed yesterday about future plans, we are now refilling ourselves with new energies. Right now is time to planning and reorganization of the company, investing almost all our resources in quality improvements.

We are, first of all, human like you. We like to share, enjoy our work and get in touch with you. So, maybe, you’d like to see us at work, or read what we’ve doing, or even have a loot at our faves, our faces, our voices, as we care to know yours. If you want to find it out, you can visit our profile on plurk or digg, or even join our group on Facebook… Sounds good? :)

Last week Dafne and I went to Reboot 10, a wonderful conference in Copenhagen (DK). 500 people from all over the world met to discuss about the theme of “free”, ranging from social media to biology to hardware. It was wonderful meeting and hearing from people like David Weinberger, Chris Messina, Dan Gillmor, Stowe Boyd. We was impressed by talks about user experience and guerrilla usability and had a chance to chat around about Dixero. We also had the chance to get some feedbacks and new ideas about the features, let’s see…

Now we are planning some others trips in the summer time, getting around to see new faces and discover new possibilities. Stay tuned and come to say hello to us!
