We've officially birthed a baby website. As of 11:02PM on Friday, June 27, 2008, noozler.com is live to the world.
The launch itself was rather anti-climatic as we'd all been working like madmen since before 9am that morning and were dead tired as a result. Additionally, all the launch itself technically entailed was removing a login prompt from our webroot. Hardly the type of epic enterprise deployment evenings we'd grown accustomed to at larger organizations... well, aside from the 14 hour day part.
It was a momentous moment nonetheless, as this was the culmination of many months of blood, sweat and beers. We celebrated with a bottle of cheap champagne and a simple toast in my kitchen.
We decided to keep things quiet on the search engine and extended friend networks for the time being to see how things go with a smaller ramp of traffic. All I can say at this point is "so far so good." Gabe has been working hard on adding some grace to the underpinnings, Keith has been knocking out bugs (in between bouts with laptop-itis) and I've been adding copy while Yana graciously volunteered her time to the unenviable task of entering celebrity relationships.
Tonight we all celebrated by visiting Keith's new apartment to plan where he'll hang all of his Debbie Gibson posters and then having a few drinks in the Mission (The Monk's Kettle at 16th and Valencia is now officially endorsed by GDK Software, BTW). It was a quiet, happy evening that capped a quiet, happy launch. We've all been around the software block enough times to know better than to expect all releases to be so smooth, but here's to hoping!
