CrossLoop Mac Gets a Lot of Love .. and Hugs

We launched the beta version of CrossLoop for Mac with a lot of excitement on the "May the 4th" (be with you) night so that everyone could share - desktops! As you know from our early days of launching the company, we are big fans of hugging.

We went out to seek support (no pun intended) to tell the whole, wide and flat world about it and we got a LOT of that support - from the media and tons of individuals like you and me.

So here is a brief summary (click on logos to read the articles):

CrossLoop is "Walted" Way Waaaay Up Globally

As I type this I know its all happening but every other moment, I go Really? 

So here is what happened to all of us today - Walt Mossberg (below with Steve Jobs), the Personal Technology Columnist of The Wall Street Journal, reviewed the CrossLoop software and Marketplace of Helpers. It was an extremely detailed, very well written and objective review - it shouldn't surprise us since Walt is know for exactly that for the many many years he has been reviewing technology products.

The entry on him on Wikipedia says "Walt Mossberg is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers on information technology. In 2004, in a lengthy profile, Wired called him "The Kingmaker", saying "[f]ew reviewers have held so much power to shape an industry's successes and failures"".
He was also named as one of the 100 most powerful/influential people in the world by Vanity Fair for 2008!

He is the highest authority, in my opinion, in terms of technology and the most trusted brand.

Walt's stamp of recognition is going to do wonders for all us. This also means we are now going to be discovered amongst millions!

The Wall Street Journal has the second highest circulation in the US with over 2Million readers

• Online, they have 17M unique visitors a month 
• They have the most number of online paid subscribers - over 1M 
• They are one of only 2 newspapers in print actually growing  
• Here is an in-depth segmentation of their audience  
• If you want to read Walt's past columns, they are all here for free 

So here all the coverage we received today:

• In Print and online today: "With CrossLoop, Users Can Get Help from Techie Friend". This article is currently right in front on the homepage of the "Tech" tab!
• His personal video review of CrossLoop below (link here)

• Walt discusses CrossLoop on Fox Business News below (link here):   

I dont think we all at CrossLoop can thank him enough for this opportunity but nevertheless, a HUGE..No, HUMONGOUS, Thank you from all of us to Walt!

I also want to take this moment to thank the CrossLoop Helper who provided Walt with such a great experience - the prompt response, the permission-based approach to solving problems mentioned by Walt and of course, the expertise to solve the problem. It made a big difference. 

Note that one never knows the significance of the next customer so the best we can all do is treat everyone in the best possible manner!  

I need some more time to digest what just happened so rest assured another post coming soon on this milestone real soon...on a blog near you!

A VERY Good Afternoon and Good Luck!
