Hello on our 10th day… (3 comments)
10 July 2009
Hello on our 10th day! This time we want to share our joy instead of mistakes :)Â
For the sake of clarity, I want to remind you our preset goals that were published in the first blog post.
Our official launch day was July 1, thus the first target should be reached on that day, the second target – on July 3, the third and fourth one – on July 5 and July 7 respectively. We have to admit - all of these targets were reached ahead of time. And today we also wish to share our joy – day before yesterday (on July 8) the 5th target was reached, which was planned to be met a week later.
Actually, the target was exceeded – yesterday almost 6000 games were played. And this definitely is not our sole merit, it is yours also - we really do feel appreciated… However, this is just a beginning, and as we know – it is easier to start climbing a mountain than to reach the peak.
If we take it in relative terms – currently we have reached only 0,5% of this year’s target. Yes – still a bit work ahead:) We will work hard, we will strive to meet the targets and we will try not to let you down. However, if we can ask anything – we ask for you to share any new ideas, possible improvements, anything that would make your journey more enjoyable.
Tell us – what you like about us and what you don’t like about us (we will appreciate the first and improve on the second)? What you learn from us and, more importantly – what you can teach us?
Thanks for listening – hope to hear from you guys…
P.S. We have approximately 20 days to reach our next target – 10,000 games per day. Besides joining your friends:), do you have any other idea how to do that?

Jums ir steidzÄ«gi jÄdomÄ par jautÄjumu datubÄzes palielinÄÅ¡anu. PaÅ¡laik tÄ ir tik maza, ka pietiek izspÄ“lÄ“t pÄrsimts spēļu, lai gandrÄ«z visi jautÄjumi bÅ«tu zinÄmi. LÄ«dz ar to spÄ“le zaudÄ“ jÄ“gu un kļūst garlaicÄ«ga, un arÄ« jauni dalÄ«bnieki diez vai jÅ«t vÄ“lmi pievienoties, redzot, ka pÄ“dÄ“jÄs dienÄs labÄkie rezultÄti ir zem 40 sekundÄ“m.

Dear Kurbad,
Thank you for the comment I’ll reply in English language so that majority can understand. If you would like to, just ask and I’ll send you a translation.
You have pointed out a problem that we were waiting for someone to point it out soon. Basically, we didn’t expect that the site will rise in popularity that quickly. This was our miscalculation and we admit it and we are paying the price now. As far as the fixing of this problem, we have several people working on increasing the number of questions in each of the languages and it shall not take more that couple of days that you will have whole batch of new questions arriving. Please note that the questions are in three languages which is quite a challenge for. So please bear with us.
Nevertheless, we appreciate your note and we always welcome any comments either positive or negative because that will help us in any way make this truly a global competition in less time.
Thanks again for your feedback and we’ll be happy to hear more!

Un personiskÄka atbilde latviski :)
Hell yeah! Kurbad, Tev ir taisnÄ«ba un mÄ“s paÅ¡i pÄ“dÄ“jÄs dienas ar Å¡ausmÄm skatÄ«jÄmies uz rezultÄtu tabulu. JautÄjumu nav maz, bet tomÄ“r laikam to ir izrÄdÄ«jies par maz priekÅ¡ tÄda negaidÄ«ta spÄ“lÄ“Å¡anas entuziasma, kÄdu izrÄda daži QuizBoom lietotÄji. Kļūda ir, un to jÄatzÄ«st.
Viena problÄ“ma ar jautÄjumiem bija paÅ¡Ä sÄkumÄ, kad sapratÄm, ka tie ir pÄrÄk sarežģīti vairumam spÄ“lÄ“tÄju, tÄdēļ pilnÄ«bÄ nomainÄ«jÄm visu jautÄjumu datubÄzi ar citiem, intetresantÄkiem jautÄjumiem.
Bet, nesēžam rokas klÄ“pÄ« salikuÅ¡i. No kļūdÄm jÄmÄcÄs, nevis tÄs jÄapraud, vai ne ;)
1. IevÄ“rojami palielinÄjÄm cilvÄ“ku skaitu, kas strÄdÄ pie jautÄjumu gatavoÅ¡anas. TuvÄkajÄs dienÄs datubÄze papildinÄsies ar vairÄkiem tÅ«kstoÅ¡iem jautÄjumu! :) P.S. VarbÅ«t arÄ« vÄ“lies piedalÄ«ties un nopelnÄ«t? Tad sÅ«ti CV uz quizboom@quizboom.com
2. PasÅ«tÄ«jÄm droÅ¡Ä«bas auditu un izÄ·Ä“rÄm visas atrastÄs droÅ¡Ä«bas kļūdas, lai novÄ“rstu tehnisku mahinÄciju iespÄ“jas. Ja kÄds pamana vÄ“l kÄdus “caurumus” - bÅ«Å¡u pateicÄ«gs, ja atrakstÄ«siet man privÄti uz alex@quizboom.com.
3. Vairums spÄ“lÄ“tÄju nav pamanÄ«juÅ¡i, ka “plusÄ” paliek ne jau tikai pirmÄs 10, 20 vai 50 vietas - Tev pietiek tikt kaut vai, piemÄ“ram, piecsimtajÄ vietÄ ar, piemÄ“ram, 14 000 punktiem, un joprojÄm Tavs spÄ“les rezultÄts bÅ«s pozitÄ«vs. ArÄ« par Å¡o esam izdomÄjuÅ¡i tehnisko/vizuÄlo risinÄjumu, kÄ to labÄk nokomunicÄ“t lietotÄjiem - tas gan prasÄ«s vairÄk laika realizÄ“Å¡anai. SpÄ“les tehnisko/vizuÄlo papildinÄjumu uzdevumu saraksts mums Å¡obrÄ«d aizņem jau 50 lapas arial 10 fontÄ, tÄ ka attÄ«stÄ«ba un pilnveidojumi bÅ«s ne pa jokam :)
NobeigumÄ - paldies par Tavu viedokli, priecÄsimies dzirdÄ“t vÄ“l!
