We are proud to announce a new version of jibe is available to our existing beta customers.

We’ve been working hard to improve the product since our first beta launch and have made some exciting improvements we think you will enjoy.

Simplified navigation You can now easily browse between your media channels, friends, and messages.

Personalized media channels You can now add your flickr, youtube, or photobucket account to jibe so you can always have your media with you.

Subscribe feature Now you can subscribe to different people that have posted videos or photos to youtube, flickr or photobucket. If you find a photo or video you like, click subscribe to add a personal channel of media by that author.

Lots of more features to explore also! Let us know what you think.

Thanks for all of you that came by the booth at Mobile Beat 2008. It was an interesting event.

Also a big thanks to everybody that voted for us. We had the “dubious” honor of coming in Second Place for the people’s choice award. It was obvious from the voting (#3 was behind by a large margin) that media sharing on mobile was a very hot topic at the event.

For those of you interesting in our upcoming public beta launch, feel free to fill out a beta request on our site and we’ll notify you when we launch the new public beta product.

We want to wish a speed recovery to our CEO, Amir “MJ” Sarhangi, who is recovering from knee surgery after a failed attempt to dunk over a guy twice his size.  Thankfully we don’t have to worry about losing him to the NBA anytime soon.

Thank you for voting for us. We are very excited to have been selected as one of the top 30 mobile companies by Venture Beat. Please come by and see us at our booth.

It has been a great first week for us at jibe. Thanks to everyone, we have successfully launched our private beta and have been receiving very good feed back from all of you. We are now busy getting as many of you onto the system as quickly as we can so please be patient with us. And for those of you who have signed onto jibe, please keep the comments coming! Can’t promise we can get all your requests in but so far your comments have been very helpful. Steve will be blogging on this later.

Thanks to Caryn, we had these delicious cupcakes from Kara’s for the celebration. Best cupcakes I have ever had.
