What a week! One of the applications Applicake designed and built – Hollrr.com has been recently getting a lot of press. As we’re responsible for current maintenance and development of Hollrr too, it was both an exciting and a *stressful* time for us. We observed incredible traffic peaks – first because of TechCrunch.com and from Mashable only a few days later. Expect a post about how to handle such traffic in the next weeks – we definitely learnt a lot!
So what did they say?
“We like that Hollrr easily integrates with other services and that you can easily re-Hollrr stuff. We also like the idea of earning badges.” (Mashable)
“The promise of social recommendation sites has been alluring for years. What’s not to like? Friends share neat products and services with each other, and online retailers sell more stuff in the process. But despite this appeal, there still aren’t any recommendation services that have hit critical mass. Today, a young startup called Hollrr
is releasing some features that it hopes will help it crack the social product recommendation nut.” (TechCrunch)
Did you know that Gary Vaynerchuk author of the best-selling book “Crush It” (@garyvee on Twitter) is using Hollrr, too?
Congratulations to the Hollrr team in the US!
