Silence on the reQall blog

Some of you have asked “why hasn’t reQall posted on their blog for awhile?” I apologize for our silence, and want to explain what’s caused this. First, we’ve been working in stealth mode with partners around the world. We plan to announce one of those partnerships in first quarter, and another in second quarter, with more to come.  In the long run these partnerships will provide people worldwide with some exciting, new, personal assistant applications. We are pleased to report that we have strong traction, but can't say much publicly yet.  

Frankly, we’re also not very good at blogs and such. We’re a bunch of engineers who like to solve problems, so our focus is always on what we can do to take personal assistant apps to the next level. We don’t think you should have to ask an assistant for help, and are working to make our apps smart enough to know what you need based on your context and who you are as an individual. Still, we recognize that just doing the work and not talking about it isn’t sufficient. We understand that we need to get better at communicating.

Finally, I (Deb) have generally been the person to post. However, I’ve had some personal constraints over the last year and a half as my house was destroyed in the Fourmile Canyon fire in Colorado last year. Until recently, I’ve only been working part-time as I dealt with the aftermath of the fire. Given the needs of working with our partners, I’ve let the blog lapse more than I should have.  We’re going to change this going forward.

Starting today, my reQall account has a recurring to-do that says “Write a blog post every month on the last Monday.” I know one post a month still isn’t enough. I’ll try to do more, but I’m also asking several other members of our team to post to the blog as well. So, you’ll start to see posts coming not just from me in the US, but also from members of our team in India and other places.

Again, I apologize for letting the blog go stale and hope this new approach will keep you informed and engaged on what we’re up to. As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please ask on GetSatisfaction or send an email to support@reqall.com. We greatly appreciate your support.

--Deb, U.S

Deb and the entire ReQall team: Thank you SO much for updating us with these advancements. I can only imagine the pressures - both personal and professional - you have been under to continue moving forward in spite of all the "activity" going on around you.

Know that I'm a BIG supporter, and hope I can speak for many of us when I say, "We're looking forward to those announcements!"
