Yes, we are going to Barcelona and participate at TechCrunch Mobile 2010 from the February 16th to 18th. This event is very exciting to us, because Barcelona is going to be *the mobile internet city* at these days. There are dozens of mobile internet startups, capitalists and agencies in the city.

We hope to have great talks and contacts there. And of course we will show around the SevenSnap iPhone App.

If you want to meet us, just give us a ping at Twitter or eMail.

It’s really great to see, how SevenSnap Beta Users pushes us to the right way. Over 150 people are currently member at our community and many of them are helping us to make SevenSnap better and better. We started tons of discussions to learn more about the user needs. A special and very important point was to make SevenSnap as such transparent, that users are fine with our model and see SevenSnap as a fair way to buy products.

Just a few days ago we seeded the SevenSnap Beta 0.9.2. This version of SevenSnap solved many app-crashes, optimized the usability and filled the Snap-Room with live-data from our database. It’s a very exciting feeling to enter the Snap-Room and see the price is going down. Second by second.

Currently we’re working on the last details. We’re hoping to start at the end of February 2010 at the App Store (after nearly 12 month of development).

In the next weeks we finally achieve the beta stage. Hundreds of users pre-registerd to become a beta-tester. That’s awesome!

In the last months we not only worked on our iPhone App – we also had first thoughts about a web-version of SevenSnap.

Today we wonna give you a first look on the SevenSnap Web-Platform, which comes with the same GUI as our iPhone App.

Here is a bigger screen.

Especially we focused on two things:

• A great usability: only one page, no page-reloads, just Ajax.
• Touchable. We believe, that Multi-Touch-Technology will also capture client-computers in the next few years. Windows 7, which comes with Multi-Touch-Support, was the first step on that way. Apple will hopefully bring a device in 2010. The SevenSnap GUI is also optimized to be “touchable”.

We hope you’ll like what you see. Please feel free to send us your feedback.

Finally, it is online – the sneak preview explaining the idea behind SevenSnap. Perhaps you have already seen the sneak preview video and guide.

SevenSnap in a nutshell:

Every 60 minutes, we are offering you a product from the realms of consumer electronics, travel and leisure activities. To see the price of the product, which drops every second, you have to enter the Snap Room. Being in the Snap Room costs 1,– USD per minute.

If multiple people are in the Snap Room at the same time, the price of the product can drop by up to 100,– US Dollars per minute. The person first clicking on the “Order now” button gets the deal and the price drop is repeated from the top.
This system creates incredible saving opportunities and makes shopping a very exciting experience.

We hope you like our idea and look forward to receiving your feedback.

Slowly, things are falling into place. At 7pm on Sunday, August 23, 2009 we will be presenting you the idea behind SevenSnap.

For this purpose we have placed a countdown on the SevenSnap start page. Many thanks to Guido for helping with the Java script.

In the next 20 days I will be very busy with public relations. I will have to complete the press releases and, with the help of StuFF and Stefan, make sure that SevenSnap is presented to you adequately on the 23rd.

This way to the countdown.

Back in 2008 the idea was born…

A year later the concept stage is reached, schedule is out and financal report is done to move on to the development stage.

Before I will reveal the idea, let me introduce myself.

I am Tobias Hieb, 25 years, from Göttingen, Germany. I work with the net since 1999. My last project was “Sevenmac“, an internet magazine and news portal for Apple fans. Sevenmac was an success but I sold it to focus on the “SevenSnap” app.

To learn more about me, you can visit my Blog, Twitter or XING profile.

What “SevenSnap” is and will be I will reveal over the next weeks. Of course, it’s an app for the iPhone / iPod Touch.

With this blog I will let you view our progress in development, discuss about Apple’s App Store, providing beta versions and further information. The first beta is supposed to take place in August 2009.

I look forward and hope you will read the SevenSnap blog, participate with comments and beta testing.
