Fellow Nestoripolitanos,
The birthday season here at Nestoria continues. This week we celebrate the one year anniversary of the launch Nestoria Italia service!
When we started one year ago little did we know the coming year would see the most dramatic downturn in post-war history. But as the Italian market has grappled with the economic tsunami, and the never-ending excitement of Berlusconi’s party schedule (Surely internet entrepreneurs should be getting invites? Right? No one needs – or deserves – a Mediterranean break more than me) we’ve kept our head down and slowly but surely fine tuned the service.
Many thanks to all the users who have sent us feedback, and to all our our partners (Over the last months we’ve added a few more). We of course still have a very long way to go, but you can rest assured we’re working on it.
For those interested in more detail, Matteo, our resident Italian, has kept things cranking over on the Nestoria Italia blog, and if you speak Italian I highly recommend you subscribe.
Ciao!
Fellow Nestorojans!
It’s hard to believe it, but it’s now two years since we first revealed Nestoria to the world when we launched our little property search engine covering just London.
Many thanks to all of our partners and user for your continual support and feedback. It’s been a great two years. While we know we still have a long way to go (we hope to have some interesting announcements for the UK next week) we’re proud of what we’ve achieved and we couldn’t have done it without all of you.
Here’s a screenshot from the day we launched two years ago. As you’ll see the changes are subtle. Search is the art of continual fine tuning.
To celebrate this accomplishment, and also in anticipation of the impending launch of
Nestoria Italia (BTW betatest starts next week, all
beta-testers welcome), we headed off to
Farringdon for an Italian feast.
We look forward to the next two years and continued geographic expansion!
On a final note, we know many of our diligent blog readers are interested in the technical side of things here at Nestoria. We thought you might like this tidbit:
