Skydeck is open to all, supports IE, and wins its first award
Tell your friends – Skydeck is now in public beta. Anyone in the US can now sign up for Skydeck at http://skydeck.com/signup
Skydeck is no longer restricted to Firefox either. You can use any browser running on Windows XP or Vista, in particular Internet Explorer. (Mac users still have to run Firefox for now. We hear the cries of Safari users and will get to you as soon as we can.)
We announced our public beta at last week’s MobileBeat 2008 conference, where Skydeck also won its first award: Boldest Idea.
Thanks to VentureBeat for organizing a great event, and thanks to the judges for recognizing that what we’re doing is very bold indeed. We want to help everyone in the world keep track of their phone calls, their text messages, and all the people that they call and text. As one of the judges pointed out, while lots of companies say they can help you to lower your phone bill, Skydeck wants to make every call more valuable – by making sure that you never forget a call, you know who you need to call back today, and you know who you really ought to call when you have time (hint: Mom).
And thank you – Skydeck beat more than 50 other companies to qualify for MobileBeat, because you voted for us.
