We are sponsoring some events over the coming weeks and the 2Vouch crew would love meet you and say G’day. There is a rumour that the JobGenie could be making his first public appearance at one of these events! BTW a Wii is on offer to the person who sends the best picture of themselves with the JoGenie by the 31st of Oct to info@2Vouch.com

We promise there won’t be this many posts every day, but hey, we are excited and it seems that there is a lot of interest in what we are doing
Thanks to Renai LeMay at Bootstrapper for this review.
As you can imagine, building a site like 2Vouch is not a trivial exercise. A lot of people have put in a lot of hard work and we just want to acknowledge them publicly and say a huge THANK YOU!
One of the great things has been the support and effort put in by our development team, designers and html/css guys. All nighters, lots of back & forth and very high expectations… again, thanks to all of you.
The other thing that has been exciting has been telling the 2Vouch story to our launch partners and having people take a leap of faith to support us before we even had a site live. This includes some of the leading charities in Australia, industry associations and of course advertisers - some of the most innovative, leading recruiting firms and businesses in the online space.
Our launch charity partners are:
Referrers can automatically make donations to any of these charities when they process their referral rewards.
We have had great support from:
And our launch clients
Finally, and certainly not least, to our friends and families who have heard us talk about this idea for ages… thank you for putting up with us.
Cheers,
Riges.
Thanks to those of you who have provided early feedback to us privately. We have had some really positive input and also a bunch of great ideas for making 2Vouch even better.
The other wonderful thing has been to read the comments and ideas that different bloggers have posted. Two more posts since yesterday are on Mashable and CareersThatDontSuck (love that domain
)
We are excited and delighted to announce that 2Vouch is live!
You can now access the system by going to www.2vouch.com where you can sign up for free to look for people or to make referrals.
We have had some great coverage on the blogs alreadys, including Michael Specht, Onrec and Tech Nation. Nice to be talked about… thanks guys.
We look forward to lots of feedback from users and will keep you posted on our progress.
There are now a couple of different places you can see the JobGenie in action.
We have a FaceBook page called “The JobGenie” and you can go to YouTube and do a search for 2Vouch or JobGenie and you will find the videos.
Enjoy
Vishal Sharma has been covering Aussie Web 2 start-ups from about 2006 and he has noticed that the industry is starting to gain some momentum. Interview I conducted with Vishal Sharma yesterday is here
Enjoy!

Yep .. we’re still around just been really busy getting the 2Vouch system ready for launch.
The great news is that the system is nearly, nearly, nearly ready to go out there. We are just about to start what the tech - heads call alpha testing. As the name implies, alpha testing is the first phase of testing that you do with people other than those who built the system.
The alpha testing will be done in 2 stages. First, a very small group will try out the system and give us some feedback and let us know if there are any major bugs. Once that goes smoothly we will expand the testing out to a larger group of about 30 people who will also test things out and give us feedback.
You might be wondering what the system will look like…
