From an email to one of our favorite users, L’agent Provocateur, who was kind enough to check in with us last week:
Cool stuff going on with Yurth, in the form of development (new tricks and gizmos in the works) and investors to fund it. All of which means that priorities get scrambled up. Although we’re still focused on making Yurth easy, easy for fun, personal video. Like quick little rants, missed connections, people connecting with people… We’re working on a mobile upload thing, for example. And we’re working on a cool way for each user to have their own personalized map (tabs, favorites, default location, etc.) Takes a hell of a lot of time and some extra $$ but very fun and we can see light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks for your stuff and we want see more.
