Great to see a post about a real business on TC!

I dont know if Arrington has shares in Twitter, but I am tired of reading about it on TC.

They said in their video and print that SaaS is outdated and that there new “SaaN” is replacing it. Where do they get off being that narcissistic? SaaS is a deployment method and isn’t being replaced. And their new feature is really just sharing between their customer accounts at different security levels. That’s not new either. Sure it’s a great new feature for their users but don’t try to pretend that you are replacing or better than a whole deployment strategy that’s ust straight up a lie.

A feature with real benefits . . . I like it. Although I am curious how this particular improvement got prioritized over others. Perhaps they have been listening to their existing paid customers and want to retain them as their customers grow. Good idea.

Shameless plug:
I just recently launched an online billing service that competes in this space as well – InvoiceMore ( http://www.invoicemore.com ).

The main difference from all other current competitors (including those mentioned) is that InvoiceMore bases recurring billing on recurring items themselves instead of recurring invoice templates. That way multiple different recurring services can be generated onto a single invoice each month instead of multiple ones for each “invoice template”. It’s a slightly different approach that has been working really well for us so far.

Freshbooks is an amazing service. Very high quality, easy to use, but it’s best feature is the quality of the support. Every time I’ve called with a question, and some have been complicated, I’ve reached a “human” on the very first try, and they’ve always had the right answer.

Mike McDerment continues to be a great innovator. Glad to see you covering a real company with real customers and revenues.

Online billing isn’t “sexy” but it has utility that people are willing to pay for. I’d like to see more such companies covered on TC … it would lead to significantly slower growth in the dead pool.

Regards,
George

Interesting that certain aspects can remain private – that’s a nice touch.

OT: One of these ‘collaboration’ companies should buy my domain iCoCreate.com. It would be a great benefit to them.
