MajikWidget Update
I'd like to take a moment to address some recent concerns about MajikWidget.
It has been pointed out that there have been no major upgrades or apparent movement in the last six months. In fact, some have suggested that we should be added to the TechCrunch Deadpool. That suggestion would actually be funny except for the fact that TechCrunch has never acknowledged that we exist in the first place. I'm sure this is a slight oversight on Mr. Arrington's part.
Our future and fate is dependent upon the loyalty and happiness of our customers. We have made a conscious effort to grow MajikWidget from the stand point of quality product and service. This strategy has worked as we've experienced a remarkable growth in our user base due to word of mouth and our virtually non-existent marketing efforts (using the powered by link on all widgets). All of our customers are typically extremely happy with the operation of our product and the timeliness of our support team.
But alas we are not without growing pains. MajikWidget is privately funded and considers itself a bootstrap operation. We have invested a considerable amount of dollars into hardware infrastructure and support capabilities. This was to insure the execution of our quality product and service strategy. We have had tremendous support from our user base as well as our great friend Guy Kawasaki. Who incidentally is not an investor in MajikWidget but a happy customer and friend.
We admit that we could be more active with the MajikWidget blog. It is necessary to communicate with everyone about what is happening. We are making every attempt to do this when we feel there is relevant news and information to publish. The fact of the matter is there really has not been much relevant news or information about MajikWidget in the last six months.
It is not our plan to close MajikWidget or enter anyones dead pool any time soon. We are not hurting financially nor or we failing to progress forward. In fact, as stated before, the user base is growing at a very steady rate each day and our plan (for the moment) is to keep up with the demands that this growth puts on our service.
To accomplish this we need to create a positive revenue stream from our current products and services because of our bootstrap operation. If there are any investors out there that may wish to change this particular strategy, we are all ears.
That said, we thank each and everyone of our users for their continued support and patronage. We are not going anywhere and look forward to providing quality products and services for years to come.
P.S., If you know Michael Arrington perhaps you can let him know that we do exist.
