We know it’s been a while since we posted, and we want to give our apologies. The last few months have moved so quickly, the team here has had to move at break neck speed just to keep up with demand. I’ll spare the boring technical drabble, but rest assured that our servers have been updated for scale, and you should see a noticeable improvement on the speed with which the website and updating is performing now.

You have probably also noticed the site looks and feels a little different, and we hope you approve. When making changes we always want to make things easier, so let us know via feedback@hellotxt.com if they aren’t. Some noteworthy additions are listed below, and you can get even more detail in this video post:

Of course, we’re really excited about the launch of Google Buzz as well. It’s still in its early days, so we’re watching with interest but with a few tweaks on our side you should find you can post there with HelloTxt as well. Watch out for more on this in the next few weeks, and keep an eye on this blog for some cool user contests we will be announcing.
