Flashes of Panic

We took the “beta” off the Common Kitchen logo this week, which is good, because it was annoying me. (Gmail has been “beta” for over three years now, which tells me that the label means nothing anymore… and I don’t like using meaningless labels.)

What it does mean is that we’re pretty close to where we’re going with the site—I’d say over halfway, but the other half is really behind-the-scenes and interface pieces to make the site more useful and more powerful, not big shiny features from the user’s end. Just in time for a big feast day, right?

So we posted a press release and sent an email yesterday, and now we’re working out our next steps. We have a long list of tickets to attack for CK, and some other projects in the pipeline to pursue.

If you’d like to give Common Kitchen a look, though, come on by; we’re ready for you. (You can add the Facebook application, too, if you’re into that.)

While I’m talking about work, I’ll add that we recently did some blog organization at CMI (shorthand for Common Media, Inc, our company.) We pulled all the tech-geeky stuff about development, etc. out into the CMI blog, so the Common Kitchen blog could be more focused on the sort of thing you’d expect to read there, i.e. the site itself, and food in general.
