Προεδρικές Εκλογές Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας 2013 – Cyprus presidential elections 2013

What better way to market a custom service or product than to make one for yourself. The point is what? where? how?

Well if the service is facebook application then a facebook application would be the choice of sample. How to market it? Well one way is to choose a hot subject to make people use the application. The hottest topic in Cyprus now is the presidential elections. So we made an app which acts as a poll. The usual process goes on. You vote for a  candidate or select an option of (void, blank and no vote). Give it a try here.

 

What’s wrong with dreaming?

Cyprus! What ever idea you may have there is always someone who will come and say:

This will not work in Cyprus.

I am fed up with this mentality we have. Actually somebody planted this in our head since we were kids! Study to pass exams and get good grades so that you can get a good job! GOOD JOB? In what context? Who and what defines good? Is it money? Personal satisfaction? which could definitely triggered by money. What about happiness? Going to work and just being happy. And why call it a job?

Even the word job  sounds like something you would hate. Although quite cliché, my motto is:

Find a job you like so that you never have to work again.

I was just sitting with some friends at home and we were discussing about the stuff we want to do and why we cant do them! We are actually not willing to take the risks. We have been bubbling about it for the past 4 hours. I thought about it over a cigarette in the bone cutting cold outside (because we quit smoking inside the house due to the recent addition in the flatmate list), and after reading between the lines it occurred to me that although we were all patronising each other about the risks and dangers, we were all just saying to ourselves:

Come on MOTHA FUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Just take the risk and give your dreams a freaking chance!

I have been working on this project for some time now and it basically takes up most of my development time. Its kind of frustrating though because I came to that point on a web applications life cycle where it needs a lot of data maintenance and any further code and functionality improvements / additions would render useless if all that data organization is left behind! Despite this “minor” setback we are doing pretty good and this morning we are ranking 111th on alexa.com ‘s CYprus ranking.
