The Best App Store is the Mobile Web
After last night’s hiccup over our lack of clear terminology, some asked why we didn’t go the native app route on either iOS or Android.
While we know that native mobile applications are all the rage, it simply didn’t make sense for us for a few reasons.
1. Cost
Hey, we are a startup in closed beta. That means resources are tight, and priorities have to be made. With only...
#WeBeJammin to The Beat of the Mobile Web
A few hours ago, we released a mobile web app to our users.
Whoo!
While this news is exciting, we also mislead some users when informing them via email.
That’s not jammin’ at all, and we realize the need to clarify.
Strawberryj.am offers a mobile “web” application. There is no need to access your respective App Store/Marketplace. Simply type in Strawberryj.am into your...
The Worker Bees Went on Strike
Here at Strawberryj.am, we love seeing people use our product. It makes our job that much more exciting, and also gives us a great opportunity to see what works and what doesn’t. The problem is, we are in beta for a reason, and things tend to break at inconvenient times.
One of those times was last night. We made the decision to send out a mass invite to all those waiting on our beta...
Customer Service Nightmare: Sears vs. iPad...
Customers are ruthless, and being a former employee as a Customer Service Specialist, I can vouch for that. I once had a customer yell at me for ten minutes over four cents because our register miscalculated tax. So when I see situations like the latest Sears misprint, my heart goes out to both the consumer, and the retailer.
The question is, does Sears owe it to their customers to give them...
Making Popular Personal
Popular: Of, pertaining to, or representing the people, especially the common people.
When you think of popular, you probably think of meat-dressing sensation Lady Gaga, or teenage girl heart throb Justin Beiber. While they are popular on the global scale, they are probably not immediately popular with you.
Here at Strawberryj.am, we want to show you popular. But instead of showing you the...
What Affect Could Klout Have on the Relevant Web?
Strawberryj.am is very invested in your social graph, it is essential to determining what content you see at the top of your timeline. If your friends don’t share it, our algorithms determine you probably don’t care about it.
With such a heavy reliance on your social graph, attempts to measure your influence score should weigh heavily on us at Strawberryj.am. After all, the demand...

Outperforming Techmeme
I’ve been a Techmeme junky for a very very long time. The site consistently provides high quality and timely tech news which makes it an excellent target to measure strawberryj.am against.
Important to note is that Strawberryj.am’s trends are purely based on the people that I follow. On my @chicagofoodtest account I have yet to see a single trending item that matches anything on...

A little downtime coming up
Dear beta testers,
Over the coming couple of hours we will be moving to a new dbase, new server and be adding some new functions (such as direct retweets from strawberryj.am). In order to do so we expect some downtime, sorry about the inconvenience.
