It gives me immensure pleasure to announce that Electrosocial (the web app development and social media company behind kwippy) is starting a six week internship program from the end of this month. The program is aimed at sharing the fundamentals of Social Media and imparting working knowledge with various tools and services of relevance. The internship would be completely online so that anyone from anywhere can join it. The internship program would consist of (but not limited to) the following:
- Emergence of Social Media
- Social Media Fundamentals
- Social Media Tools
- Social Media Values/Ethics
- Scope of Social Media in Marketing, Customer Service, Activism etc
- Social Media Metrics
- Legal Aspect of Social Media
The internship progam is completely free for all and the interns will also get certificates for the same at the end of internship. Since it’s an internship program, the interns will also get to work hands on our and a few other projects. This experience will be crucial in understanding how Social Media campaigns work, how tools are used, how reporting is done and more.
We are looking for interns(preferably freshers or college students). So if you are a web junkie willing to make a career in Social Media send us an email at internship@electrosocial.com.
Looking forward to some Social Media fun soon.

This btw is one of the best descriptions that I’ve read about kwippy and hey there’s a mention of “Slideshare” there too. Also, this would be the first appearance of “yours socially” in print media 
Three Cheers to Kwippy !!!
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to share that kwippy.com, India’s premier conversational platform was covered in yesterday’s Economic Times. For the uninitiated Economic Times is India’s Leading Business Newspaper run by Bennett, Coleman & Co Ltd. This is the first reference of Kwippy in mainstream Print Media. Here’s the complete news item.
Our chat bot is about an year old and has been running quite smoothly. The bot support the following functionality
1) Storing custom status messages
2) Sending kwips(updates) by sending messages
3) Receiving comments on kwips
4) Getting mentions of keywords on Twitter(Track)
5) Receiving latest kwips(updates) of users.
6) Subscribing to RSS feeds of blogs
Combined together these six features give a lot of power to the chat bot and this is not it, we’ve got plans for some more fancy things.So stay tuned and happy kwipping
Hello Guys,
In a release we did few days back we’ve rolled out the extended Invite Functionality. Using the new invite feature you can not only invite people from your address book(yahoo, hotmail or gmail etc) to Kwippy but you can also invite friends from your favorite social networks like Facebook, Orkut, Myspace, LinkedIn etc. So if you were waiting to invite your friends to join the action at kwippy, you can do so now in just a few clicks.
You can reach the invite page by clicking on the “Find and Invite” link from your kwips page.
From the invite page, you can choose the provider and enter your credentials. We won’t be saving your credentials and will just use them to send invites. On submitting your credentials you will be sent to the invite details page
You can choose people you want to invite and personalize the invite text. Personalizing the invite text is a simple and easy way of letting people know that it’s really you whose sent the invite and not a bot.
Just give the feature and try and let us know what you think about it. Hope to see more of your friends on kwippy.
Happy Kwipping !!
So we have finally reached a million quips and more coming in from all around the world. It is because of the awesome kwippy community that we have been able to come so far.
In the recent times we have added a new search RSS feed which will allow developers to mine information from the kwippy system and also modified the way we send our notifications (now we send complete comments in the IM and email notifications).
So stay tuned as we have more coming this March 2009.

Hello Kwippers,
This post is to announce the launch of version 1.0 of the Kwippy Wordpress Plugin. Yes, in a late night(rather early morning) coding spree Dipankar wrote the plugin. We’ve been planning for this plugin for quite some time and finally we have it.
Using the plugin you can kwip the URL for your latest wordpress blog post automatically i.e every time you publish a blog post on your wordpress blog it’s url and title will be posted to kwippy under your account, isn’t it cool ?
After installation go to the settings section of your wordpress installation and save your kwippy credentials under the kwippypost section(of settings).
You can download the plugin here. Let us know how you find it
Happy Kwipping
