The App Store has just approved our latest release of Picle - version 1.0.4 - and it is ready for download now. 

As one of the new recruits to the many, I thought I would introduce myself with a wee snap shot of what I have been up to in my first 2 months in the city.

For the last few months, we've been working with Skype to create a new service proposition for small businesses. Today, we're launching in private beta. If you’re an entrepreneur, or working in a small business that’s looking to grow, Skype in the workspace is a place to meet potential partners, suppliers, or customers anywhere in the world. You can promote your service, send messages, talk, or meet face-to-face over Skype. And it's free. 

Since I joined Made by Many on March 5th as a Service Design intern, I have been involved in various interesting situations and conversations. They have propelled me into taking some time to reflect where I was before I started, to where I am now. For many reasons I feel I've been quite fortunate so far, and here I tell you why. 

Apologies for the radio silence on how Picle has been developing since the last release. The reason for this is that we have been wrestling internally over what Picle actually is. It sounds rather existential, but by watching how people use Picle and feedback to us, we have had to ask some deeper questions than 'How can we get more people using the app?'.
