DOTGO Demos at New York Tech Meetup

Posted: Thursday, January 20th, 2011

On Monday, January 10, we presented at the New York Tech Meetup. It was the first meetup of 2011, and it was, by all accounts, spectacular! Alongside other amazing NY-based companies, like Adstruc and Vyou, we demoed our technology and upcoming web product to 1000+ people.

Once Stefan and I took the stage, we had 5+ minutes to explain CMRL, show off our soon-to-be-launched Product Suite, and have a little fun with the crowd.

While I explained the basics of DOTGO, Stefan wowed the crowd with his live-coding prowess, and in a matter of minutes we had the nytm.org SMS site up and running. The BCS Championship game was the same night as the meetup so we decided to set up the nytm.org site with a poll and let the audience get in on the action.

While the audience had (a little too much) fun with the poll, we got down to business and gave a quick tour of our upcoming web product, the DOTGO Publishing Suite. While we anticipate opening up the product for public beta this week, you can catch a glimpse of the product and the demo in its entirety in the video posted down below.

We would like to thank Nate and Brandon and the NYTM community for their support and kind words, and we look forward to the amazing things that will come out of the NY tech scene this year.

2011 Here We Come!

Posted: Friday, December 31st, 2010

DOTGO had an incredible year in 2010 and is closing the year out with a big product launch on the horizon.

Growth has been phenomenal, and adoption has been even better than we expected. In November and December alone, we sent and received as many messages as we did in all of 2009.  After securing a Series A round from Epic Ventures and TomorrowVC (the venture fund of Google’s Eric Schmidt) last spring, the DOTGO team grew to eight, with two more scheduled to join us this coming spring, and we are still looking to hire.  In September, we moved into a new office in SoHo.  By all accounts, 2011 is shaping up to be a great year.

In fact, we won’t be wasting any time in 2011 and will be launching a new product suite on January 11.  The product suite will include several tools that will make DOTGO even easier to use than it already is and will introduce new broadcast capabilities with a very competitive pricing structure.  With this new product suite, we will be better able to better serve our clients, which range from small businesses through large media companies and resellers.

If you are interested in being a launch partner, get in touch with us at contact@dotgo.com.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

-The DOTGO Team

If interested in being a launch partner, please email Stefan Gromoll @ contact@dotgo.com.

DOTGO Launches at DEMO

Posted: Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Scientific Media, Inc. is proud to announce that the DOTGO mobile publishing platform was launched at the prestigious DEMO launch venue in San Diego, California on September 23, 2009.

The DEMO conference event took place at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina from Monday, September 21 through Wednesday, September 23 and was attended by representatives of over 75 of the leading consumer, business, and trade global media outlets.  The event was also broadcast live online to over 230,000 viewers in 80 countries around the world.

DOTGO was kicked off at 11:49 PDT on Wednesday, September 23 with a six-minute demonstration of the product by company co-founders Stefan Gromoll and Kenneth M. Lanzetta.  Check out a video of the DOTGO demonstration here:

DOTGO also unveiled a brand new web site and logo coincident with the launch.

The DOTGO offering was exceptionally well received by the assembled audience and was the subject of extensive press coverage.  Check out the DOTGO press release at the DOTGO press page, and check out a selection of the latest news and media coverage of DOTGO at the DOTGO news page.

The DEMO conference organizers described DOTGO as follows:

DOTGO is an elegant solution to the cumbersome and brand-challenged SMS short code system that allows brands to leverage the equity in their domain names while delivering an immediate, mobile experience to their customers.  The platform, along with the Concise Message Routing Language (CMRL), could be the key that unlocks SMS as an advertising and service channel for brands and businesses large and small.

We at Scientific Media, Inc. are excited about the launch of DOTGO and see many fantastic possibilities ahead.  Stay tuned for more.
