The year that was

It’s been slightly more than a year since we conceptualized kwippy and wrote the first lines of code. A lot has changed in the last year, changed for good. From a mere idea in head to a full blown stable product with thousands of users from all across the globe, Kwippy has grown a lot. From alpha mode with few close friends and family members as users(and testers) to the current beta mode its been a challenging and exciting long journey. I would like to take a moment here to thank everyone whose been a part of  this journey for their love, support, care and criticism, without which it wouldn’t have been possible. As we’ve mentioned numerous times before Kwippy is what it is because of the awesome Kwippy community. It’s been an absolute delight being part of this lovely community and I would love to see it grow without loosing its warmth and affection.

The Year of the Kwippy

This is a guest post written by Katrina, popularly known on kwippy and rest of the web as nikitascene.

As yet another holiday season draws to a close, we bid farewell to the year 2008 and we gather our thoughts and resolutions for the New Year; a year destined for unparalleled success and abundance of the heavenly kind. The march of questions parades throughout our minds as we contemplate our past and build towards a brighter future. Was I as good a person as I could have been? Was I kind, gentle, and thoughtful? Did I make a difference in my world? Did I kwip enough?

As you assemble round your friends and family this New Years Eve, take a moment to raise your glass of bubbly to 2009 and declare it, The Year of the Kwippy. People born in the Year of the Kwippy are exuberant, energetic, quick to share, wildly entertaining and kind. They are also truthful, insightful, brave and forthright when the time calls for honesty, quiet and attentive when the time calls for listening. And they rouse cyber conversations of the utmost inspired kind. Kwippy people are considered the most warm-hearted and welcoming of any in the social networking zodiac. They posses neither self-righteousness in the name of spam nor do they self-promote with unabashed shame. They keep their flowery speeches to a minimum and tend to be warm and inviting, which gives them a charming advantage over other social networks. They are compatible with Rats, Snakes, Monkeys, and Roosters and just about anyone who wants to share in the awesomeness that is the Kwippy community.

The name Kwippy springs forth from the English word quip, which is a small taunt, a jest, or a gibe. With a little over six months as a Kwippy community member, I can proudly say that even the smallest of kwips has brought the largest of smiles to my day. I was given excellent advice when I asked, “What is one thing I should “do, try, or taste” before 2009?” I have been invited to extremely helpful conversation streams such as “What do you use to keep all your stuff organized?” And there’s always the Kwippy Question of the Day to keep us all engaged and getting to know one another. I keep coming back for more, so I must be a glutton for big toothy grins, helpful tips and insights into the souls of the Kwippy community.

Don’t let another year pass you by wrought with too many, “I should have” or “If only I would have? Make a difference in the world one kwip at a time. Celebrate 2009 as The Year of the Kwippy!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Kwippy.com would like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all its users!turkey and football!

In the United States there are two traditions on this day,eating turkey and watching football (that’s American football mind you the one that’s kinda like rugby with armour..)on the television.

Rest assured that all of us at Kwippy will continue hard at work providing you the best service possible.
Why we recently upgraded the way that  conversation comments arrive in your email box (maybe you noticed ?) but more on that in a later blog.

So have a great and Happy Thanksgiving!
