Some News and Some TOP SHOUTS

Ryan — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:05:20 +0000

As you may recall, we recently offered you a little tease of some of the stuff on the horizon for Aha users. A lot of it is conceptual, but it still touches on the some of the feature ideas we are working on.

We added a preview page to our website, and Robert unveiled a pre-release version of the app at the CES Mobile Apps Showdown.

Well, we are getting closer to those previews and demos becoming reality, so be sure to stay tuned. We’ll be sure to tell you when you can get in and test drive the “new hotness.”

In the meantime … here are some top shouts:

Some Video Fun + Shouts of the Week (1/15/10)

Ryan — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 01:04:48 +0000

In last week’s post about CES I mentioned that we were demo’ing an all-new app. I even offered a link to the “Coming Soon” so you could get an idea of some of the stuff we are adding.

And now I have a nifty video that captures some of the ideas and directions (believe it or not that pun was not intended) we are heading with our services.

And now that you are all revved up with video coolness, have some fun with this week’s top shouts!

You may have thought that we at Aha only care about Festivus (it is, after all, for the rest of us), but we really embrace all choices for all of our users.

Whether you are into Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Soyal, Winter Solstice, Yule, or really anything at all … we would like to wish you and yours a safe holiday season.

And now that we have all the formalities out of the way…on with the special (and abbreviated) Holiday Edition of the Top Shouts!

Happy Thanksgiving + Shouts of the Week (11/27/09)

Ryan — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 23:47:56 +0000

Happy Turkey Day to everyone out in Aha land. Hopefully you all had safe travels en route to see all of your family and friends this weekend. And if you used Aha during any of your driving you no doubt noticed that DRAMATIC improvement to the launch time (announced earlier this week). With any luck that means you are leaving a ton of shouts, and hearing all sorts of great shouts from others. This leads me to the SHOUTS OF THE WEEK (one day early, because I know you will all be out shopping tomorrow!).

Leeroy Jenkins invades Aha

Ryan — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:44:33 +0000

Couldn’t resist sharing this awesome shout today. For anyone who may not understand the context, I’ve included the video that inspired it. It’s long, but you can skip ahead to about 1:20 if you want (though you’ll regret it). Also, be advised that there is some NSFW language during certain parts of the clip.

guest_00HOUGL – Leeeroy Jenkins!!!

Shouts of the Week (11-06-09)

Ryan — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:21:40 +0000

In honor of my formative musical years (mid 90′s through the early 00′s) I selected two “classics” for the Misc/Awesome shouts this week.

It’s amazing how nostalgic it makes me when I hear others belting out songs that remind me of high school and college.

Anyway, here are the top shouts!

Misc. & Awesome
sniderman – Bling Bling (an old favorite of mine, plus he has a great profile pic)
switch – It’s so hard to say goodbye (also a favorite from my youth)
