Some of you may have noticed the shiny new “SweetIM - All about fun” bar located in the top of this page…

This is a small teaser for our new website design coming soon.

We’re gonna release it in a couple of weeks, so you can imagine the excitement we have here in the office.

Although we won’t introduce any new functionality, the new website will better represent us as a company of fun and innovative content/ideas !

Will keep you posted on this one,
Roy

Remember that sexy computer technician I introduced about a month ago ?

Well as you can imagine, we’ve received some good feedback about it, but we noticed most of the feedback came from our male-users (surprise surprise…).

We thought it won’t be fair to leave our female-users with nothing, so this week we’ve got a sexy mechanic that will fix all of your messenger problems:

Although he’s not really my type, I’m sure you girls just love him ! You can find our new mechanic in our menus….

Hi Everybody,

I’ve got some VERY good news !!!

Today started as another regular day… morning coffee, some chit-chats, an air-hockey match (or two… ) but then came the big news:

This morning SweetIM have reached 100,000,000 registered users !

Even though I never really needed their service I always had in mind that computer technicians are…

Geeks !

Well it turns out I was wrong… Here’s how computer technicians at SweetIM look like:

Well I guess it wasn’t that difficult.

Kristy was the one to guess right what the photo from my last post was…

Our new air hockey table !!

Obviously, it’s located in our creative dep. AKA “Playroom”.

FYI, it might not be our “Space Attack” but so far I’m winning big time playing against Robert.

Hi All,

When we started this blog, we promised some “behind the scene” of SweetIM…

Till now we haven’t done so many posts about what’s actually going on here in the office.

Well you’re about to have another sneak peak.

But first, we’ll start with a question.

What is this:

Send your guesses.  (Remember it’s all about fun in SweetIM… )

p.s. if you were wondering, in this picture you can see from left to right: Robert (SweetFounder), Jagosh (SweetAnimator), and Issac (SweetDeveloper).
