Darren Hoyt writes about the launch of Readability.com:
After a series of all-nighters, 10 of us gathered in the board room Monday night to begin final testing and deployment. We were coordinating with the NY Times article which published around 10:00pm. We went live to the public around 11:00pm and began immediately tracking questions, blog posts and tweets. Within 20 minutes, the launch was a Top Tweet on Twitter’s homepage. At 2:30am we finally we stumbled out of Arc90 and into the snowfall outside.
Since launch, sign-ups for both Publishers and Readers have been magnitudes greater what we’d predicted. We’re continuing a dialog with users to address any misconceptions and remind folks that the extensions and bookmarklets will always be free. What’s obvious is the desire for converting web content to an e-Reader format with TiVO-like features resonates with many people, especially as publishers struggle to find a model that suits readers and publishers equally. The “new” pay model has worked for generations: pay people directly for their talents in return for a great experience.
