As someone who's never heard of Qbix I came away from this post with the knowledge that you make "tools to accomplish things with" that represent "a leap in social communication." Oh, and that you're out to change the world. Before clicking around the site I actually thought it was a parody.

Well, this is our first post on the blog. It may be a little bit grandiose. But to tell you the truth, what's written there is exactly right on. We have a technology, a capable team, we are funded, we are on a roll, and our products are doing very well on the iPhone and Mac right now (top 25 on the Mac App Store).

It will all make a lot more sense once I start writing more blog entries. I am pretty excited, and that blog is like anything else we do ... it will come together part by part, and it will all make sense.

I have a question though ... do you think the header doesn't work with the white background? We designed the rest of our site to be pleasant to look at for long periods of time, and in my experience, white isn't. I'm curious what you think

To be honest, I wish the blog post would have actually answered, "what is this all about?" It was all garnish, no meat.

One test of whether you're explaining your idea effectively is to ask how close the reader is to reproducing it. After reading that sentence I'm no closer than I was before, so its content is effectively zero. -pg

That's the first blog post. I admit that it doesn't give you much information right now, but in a few days it will make sense.

I think you need to focus your product on a specific killer use case. I'm a bit lost as to what your unique core vision is beyond making the world a better place by helping people, cause I'm sure no one else in the world is trying to do that.

Yes, what exactly is this all about?

I think they make different iPhone apps (like a Groups and Calendar management app), click through the links on top.

Wouldn't have guessed that from the blog post though.
