With only a few weeks into April, meebee has been creating a lot of buzz within the web world. It has been a non-stop rollercoaster ride since the end of SXSW in Austin. In less than a month we rocked the crowd at Innovate! 2010, Berlin and got accepted into the prestigious Red Herring event.
The ball is still rolling and right now we are focusing on the highly anticipated “The Next Web” event and getting the most votes for the Vator Splash competition. We entered the competiton and have already started to make an impact, BUT we need your help! The contest is based on getting votes from the people.

As a startup, we come across a lot of decisions. Some are little, some are big (a list of open positions at meebee). But the “devil’s in the details” as the saying goes, and we got stumped on this one. What should we name our “make a meeting” button? It appears throughout meebee.com, and on the very blog you’re reading. It needs to be action inducing, catchy and clear. So, help us out and give us your input. One lucky “pollster” will win a free meebee t-shirt!
meebee’s CEO JD caught up with SoundCloud’s CEO Alex at Austin’s SXSW festival. They rap about Alex arriving at the massive festival of SXSW, and the great growth that SoundCloud.com is receiving – from guitar players at home to The Smashing Pumpkin’s Billy Corgan. The also tackle the fact that Alex was having trouble meeting up with a friend due to a “messy mix” of SMS, phone tag and email. Alex is now going to check out meebee.com because of it! Enjoy the short video clip…

meebee CEO JD caught up with Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh at the South By Southwest festival (SXSW). They rap aboout the best of the buzzing festival so far, such as the Delivering Happiness Book Bus that is party-hoping around Austin and spreading the good word of Hsieh’s new book, “Delivering Happiness.” Hsieh breaksdown all that he learned in business, “from the lemonaide stand to LinkExchange to Zappos,” plus how the science of happiness can be applied to business.
They also hash over the annoying back and forth of texting and email, and how meebee.com can help alleviate that wasted time and energy.
