Today Thursday July 15th we had our first outage on our server beebole-apps.com from around 12:30 to 17:00 GMT+1.

Yesterday, a very high number of demo accounts were created.
While we were quite happy to see that, our system started to become very unstable.

After some painful trials and errors, we found the reason:

The demo accounts are cleaned on a daily basis.
This cleaning procedure was not optimized for such load and did put our system on its knees.

The demo accounts are now cleaned efficiently, and no data were lost.
We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

Thank you for your patience.

We are very excited to announce that BeeBole beta is now live and available for all of you.

• Be open about your ideas/startup. Just pitch them constantly. The feedback is amazing, especially in the Tech Mecca.
• Be bold when it comes to meet Valley superstars. They are much more open than what we think, here, in Europe.
• Be ready for a culture shock when you land in the middle of Bay to Breakers after a 11 hours flight.

A few highlights for BeeBole

On Tuesday, we had a 5 min pitch/demo on the stage of SF Newtech.

A big thank you to Myles from SF Newtech who gave us this opportunity. And a big thank you to Rudy Demotte, Chief Minister of Wallonia (the Belgian region where BeeBole is located) for his presence and support.

On Wednesday and Thursday we lost our voices in the Developer Sandbox at the Google IO.
It was an amazing experience and the feedback we received was really good. It also created great opportunities we are now digging into. Thank you to all the Google fans, developers and partners who passed by. I have shared a few picture of our booth.

Last but not least, the Webmission San Francisco 2010.
Thank you to Jenny for making this a huge success. Thank you to the webmissioners for bringing so much energy. It was, really, an incredible team.

San Francisco, Google IO… See you next year !

We landed this week-end in San Francisco, for a full week of work and fun.

First, we will be presenting BeeBole on the 18th at the SF Newtech "The Belgian's are back"
with a few other Belgians startups.

Free Tacos at the after party!

On the 19th and the 20th, we will be demoing our application in the Developer Sandbox
at the Google IO.

If you have the chance to have a ticket, just come by our booth! We will show the last goodies.

The rest of the week is full of visits, meetups and talks with our Belgian Webmission.

We are very honored to announce that we are invited by Google to present BeeBole at the Developer Sandbox during the Google I/O 2010 in San Francisco.

Google I/O is Google’s largest developer event of the year and will occur on the 19th and 20th of May.

It is an amazing opportunity for a Belgian startup to participate to the Developer Sandbox amongst other companies such as LinkedIn, eBay, ... but also to meet and learn from top developers.

In the coming weeks we’ll provide more details about how we use Google technologies like Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Chart Tools, ... in our web app.

Meanwhile, you can already watch this video teaser and subscribe to the beta.
