Great news from our last trip to US. We met some of you, chat a little, did some presentation and even if exhibiting at the Web 2.0 is a bit tiring, each time we hear about you talking about your Dixero and your experience rewards us to the effort we do all the day long. (want to see us at the Expo? Check our latest pics :) )

As at Javits Center were taking place 3 expos at the same time, we met visitors came from a different expo and interested in a lot of different contents. For this reason, we had the chance to talk a lot with non-heavy users and we deeped into the needs of non skilled users, talking about what is a RSS feed or what is a podcast. This situation has been very useful, because we understood what to show and explain on our website and what are the frequently questions a user have in mind when reading Dixero’s website.

We presented a new selection of public channels we added to the service (Business and Politics, Lifestyle, News, Sport, the New York Times) in addition to the two public channel you already know (Entertainment, Internet and technology). We also anticipated our first contest, but I probably need a separated blog post to write a little about it ;)

After New York, we flow to San Francisco and worked a little in our office in Sunnyvale waiting for the Plug&Play Tech Center Expo. We had a space to talk about Dixero and we heard about other experiences. We met amazing people, asked for feedbacks and exchanged views with professionals and businessmen.

Waiting for the next news, we wave at you with an interview blogtalkradio did to Luca…

Hi all! We’re back!
We’re a bit late in telling you what happened in the last month. So, let’s go.

As you know, part of our staff went in San Francisco for the Web 2.0 Expo. 3 weeks of work, 4 days of exhibition with more of 10.000 visitors, 300 exhibitors, almost all mixed cultures in the same place, meetings, parties, workshops, conferences… (why don’t have a look at our photostream? :)
It was an enormous case of ideas and brains learning and thinking fast at what will be the next. Seems that doesn’t matter to have a great idea, the point is having one and believe in it, fight for its survival.
What happened with Dixero? Well, people from different countries were curious about a different and specific part of it. Chinese people were more interested in linguistic and technical aspects, Indians asked a lot about programming language, Americans and Europeans were focused on business issues and playing possibilities. In any case, we are pleasantly surprised (and happy!) to feel positive vibes around Dixero.

The web 2.0 expo has been a great possibility for us to meet people and ideas, we did demonstration of the functions and let people play with voices and avatars. Were you there too? If so, please leave a comment to let us know what was your feeling and if not, we hope to have the chance to meet you at the next event :)

Part of the Dixero team is leaving to reach San Francisco and Web 2.0 Expo. Waiting for the official launch, we filmed a few videos with some faces of our team that you may know. You can watch them in our YouTube channel.
In these days we received a lot of feedbacks from you and we are working hard and redesign parts of the service based on your suggestions. So, keep contact us and help us improve Dixero, to let it be the service designed on you :)

In the last weeks we worked hard to improve our voice quality to get ready for the beta 2 that will be launched during the Web 2.0 Expo of San Francisco. Right now we are fixing the last details and in the next days we are going to release all the accounts you have required. So, if you requested an invite to try out Dixero, keep an eye on your mailbox in the next days, we are now ready to let you play with your brand new account :)
