Hey everyone…we know it’s been a while, but we’re back. We’ve been pretty busy with all kinds of Leftos things lately and we want to share a few of them with you.

Since we launched Leftos at TechNow09, back on April 23rd, 2009, we’ve been watching user interaction very carefully. We’re learning all kinds of things about our users and how they are looking to interact with our site. The testing period that we’re in right now is so important and we want to encourage everyone to check out the site and tell us what you think by entering your feedback at the bottom of the right sidebar (it’s on every page, you can’t miss it).

Updates

So, what’s new with us lately? Here’s a few pieces of news:

The Open Version

After some great feedback from our user’s over the past month, we decided to open up Leftos.com. This simply means that you no longer have to sign up for an account, or login, to browse the site and look at content. Check it out if you haven’t already, we’re pretty pleased with the way it came out.

We Got an Office

Yep, that’s right. We’ve upgraded from our bedrooms, and kitchen’s, to a nice professional looking office, with all the amenities we could ask for. After our presentation at TechNow09, we were handed a business card from the I.P. Law firm “Young & Basile” in Troy, MI. We were told they were launching an incubator in their offices and they were interested in speaking with us. After a lunch meeting and a thorough review of our company, Leftos was officially invited to be the first company in the North Woodward Tech Incubator. On Monday, June 8th, we moved into our space inside the incubator, or as we like to call it…The Leftos World Headquarters, ha. What a sweet deal though…it’s a not-for-profit incubator (rent-free), internet, phone service, access to board rooms, adminstrative support, and individual furnished offices, are all at no cost to the startup. We also have access to legal and accounting services, 3rd party service providers at a discounted rate, networking opp.’s with investors, and a designated mentor with experience in our industry. Young & Basile really has put together something great with this incubator and if you are a startup in the southeastern Michigan Area, I highly suggest submitting an application Here.

PickUp Podcast and The Art of Charm

Some other news that we’re really excited about is a new partnership were working on with a company called The Art of Charm and more specifically, PickUpPodcast, their popular podcast. They’ll be discussing some of the best content found on Leftos, on their podcast as well as their sirius satellite radio show, Game On, which airs every friday at 8pm on Sirius ch. 109 and XM channel 139. We’re really excited to be working with these guys and we’re looking forward to more great opportunities to integrate our services in the future.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned though, we’re working on some pretty cool things that will be happening in the near future.
