Out of curiosity, why was it necessary to be in beta for over two years? Doesn't seem like the technology would take that long to develop.

Necessary, no. Most of the functionality has been around for a while, it's the polishing, redesigns and extra things that took the extra time.

To clarify we have not been in full-time active development for 2 years. I was still a full-time student the first year, so myself and cofounder were only able to work here and there, mostly weekends. This year I became the first full-time employee.

btw - I saw your SeatGeek launch @ TC50, grats!

Makes sense. Congrats on the launch--the widget looks great. Whenever I get around to starting a personal blog, I'll be sure to use it.
