Hi All, A friend of mine mentioned Silicon Beach a few months ago but I've only just discovered the amazing amount of info stored in the list archives. Great stuff! I've been meaning to send out an introduction email for a week or two now and I've finally got a spare 5 minutes.
First off, Digital Pigeon (https://digitalpigeon.com) is a large file transfer application available in web and desktop versions, as well a nifty iPhone App for tracking, managing and forwarding your big files. Born of a frustration with insufficient email servers and overcomplicated FTPs, and the juggernaut that is Yousendit. Digital Pigeon is the proud love child of Gus Johnston, Stu Clayton and myself, three Melbournians with a simple passion to make things (and hopefully better in the process). The three friends combine to create formidable skill set. I have well over a decade of experience in Software and Web development for the likes of Sensis, Miscrosoft and FAST, building and working on some of Australia’s most trailblazing online platforms in the relative infancy of the web. Gus at the other end of the spectrum is a Writer, Art Director and Filmmaker who’s spent the last 12 years working in Advertising helping to launch and grow some of the world’s most iconic brands. Stu then forms a rudder of right and left-brain expertise to round off the team. With a background in Multimedia Stu’s able to apply his technical skills with his design firepower and has helped bring Digital Pigeon to life. Collectively Gus, Stu and I formed Sixty Digits in late 2010, it took us a while to get the ball rolling but we've built Digital Pigeon from the ground up. We've spent several months in a Beta testing while we build out the backend to support the desktop and mobile platforms, we've recently released our Mac desktop app, moved into an office in Port Melbourne and we're currently working on the premium subscription services. Since our soft launch (friends , friends of friends, rabbits and relations) we've been getting some pretty positive feedback and usage has been growing at around 40% per month. It's been an amazing experience so far but we definitely have some challenges ahead of us; this list will be an invaluable asset!
