Moonfruit at Geek n Rolla
It’s been a pretty busy week here at Moonfruit HQ. I went to the popular Geek n Rolla event run by TechCrunch Europe on Tuesday, which went ahead despite the chaos caused by the volcano, Eyjafjallajokull. It was held in the glamorous Park Plaza hotel in Waterloo and despite the air disruption, had a fantastic turnout.
The day consisted of presentations, startup pitches and a demo pit. Talks on the day included Morten Lund (Skype), Andrew J Scott (Rummble) and Ewan Mc Leod ( Mobile Industry Review) who were my personal favourites as well as various Venture Capitalists and other successful entrepreneurs sharing their tips on how to be successful. The pitching event was won by Cortexica who are provide a platform for "Visual Search products that deliver exciting new experiences and value for consumers and businesses." Other startup’s pitching included Decibel, iGlue and SongHi who were very well received. Overall the day a great success. The food during the breaks was delicious and there were lots of people walking around with our lovely Moonfruit button stickers which is always nice to see :)
The rest of my week has been spent researching new and fun ways to interact with the community. Don’t forget, if you have any ideas, I would love to hear them. Please email me with your thoughts, ideas and general feedback to social@moonfruit.com – We also have some great new features coming up in the following months, so stay tuned to the Moonfruit Lounge for the latest info!
Next week I will be at Internet World at Earls Court. Leave me a message if you'll be there :)
Have a great weekend!

I shall be there woop woop
When do you guys release some new features. ıt has been a longtime
Hi guys,
We should have a release in May. It has been a long time, but we've been updating some core bits of the code and that's slowed us down a bit. So I'd expect a release in May, and then it won't be such a long wait until the next release after that. Thanks,
Joe
Is the release in May going to be the one with E-commerce?
Hi Tom,
No I'm afraid not. E-commerce will be later in the year. The next release will complete the new edit environment, the release after that will be the blog, and after that the e-commerce. All these updates are building on each other leading up to the e-commerce, so many of the new interfaces and pieces of code we are writing now are lined up for use by the e-commerce features. I hope that makes sense,
Joe
The new update in May, do you have a date in mind or week, i always look foward and when you do say you have an update coming soon i cant wait for it.
And also could we later have a bit of information about the new blog update.
Sorry if it sounds a bit out of place.
Rob.
