Post Turkey Day Update

Turkey day was supposed to be a quiet time for the team so everyone could eat and rest up for the next big push. Unfortunately Paypal was not playing nice and a bug took part of the team a couple hours late in the day to fix. It turns out that the event title has a length limit that Paypal decided to not truncate, but rather send back an error. It was terrible as it coincided with the Honolulu Christmas Fund launch which we did not know was happening on Thurs. Oh well. We are releasing today with a bunch of small fixes and some changes to the ChipIn Badge (our new name for the Widget). Two major features we finished this iteration are not even visible as we have not built the admin wrappers for them yet. But by next iteration we will be releasing our blograising product! Hopefully that will be at the Dec 12th CommerceNet party! (fingers crossed).

Beth successfully finished her campaign today!! Yeh!!  She had another great post about her campaign

Some additional coverage: Phicons and Marcus

    I’m so happy that we made our goal, over our goal actually. Now I have dilemena. Leng Sopharath is just one of 16 college students. We have 41 high school students, 500 elementary school kids to care of in Cambodia. We enjoyed this success, how can I leverage it to help more kids in Cambodia? Should I raise the goal of this campaign or start a new one?
