Coming Soon: Zenbe for Business

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

We are name challenged.  Every company I have ever worked at, prior to entering what I call the “fancy overly elaborate marketing phase”  has been name challenged: we can’t ever figure out a name great enough to describe a great new product.  The best minds in the room once named a product “Keeno”, until someone pointed out that naming a financial services product after anything to do with gambling is not such a good idea.

Naming things at Zenbe is no different.

Zenbe for Business, our subscription business offering based (loosely) on our free Zenbe Personal service, offers an uninspiring name for a wonderful new product.  If your company lives on email,  you need to check out the latest from Zenbe, which you can do shortly at http://zenbe.com.

In a little while, we will be posting our new home page, which describes our new Zenbe for Business offering. Signups will be turned on in a few days, but let us know you are interested and we will send you a discount coupon when we are ready.

If you are a Zenbe Personal user, don’t be confused when the new home page comes up.

You can still login to the free Zenbe you know and love by going to http://zenbe.com/login. You can also login from the new home page: click on login, and then enter your username and password.

The entire free Zenbe site is available at http://zenbe.com/personal, but we are still holding off on sending out new invites. With a little luck, we will send out Zenbe Personal invites in a few weeks.

While We Are Busy…

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

As we have mentioned, we are busy working on a new version of Zenbe. We will be releasing Zenbe for Business in a week or two. It offers a host of innovations on top of an improved architecture that performs blazingly fast. Zenbe for Business offers such a great experience that we will actually charge money for it. Gasp!

We are not shutting down Zenbe Personal, what you use now. We are not going to ask you to pay for it. And we are planning on porting Zenbe Personal to our new platform, giving you all the benefits of Zenbe for Business.

For now, though, we have closed new applications for Zenbe. We expect to reopen in a few months, but for now we are just too busy to handle any more customers on Zenbe Personal.

So keep on enjoying Zenbe, and tell your friends, but point out that they won’t be able to get an invitation to signup anytime soon.
