Morph :: Taking April Fools Seriously

We got to spend a little downtime (of the good kind) over coffee and milkshakes with George and Junie after an exciting Morph Code last Saturday . And we were, unfortunately, still discussing work after a long day that began at midnight with only a few hours of shut-eye. We can only nod our heads in agreement that it truly was quite a week! Bear me with me a little...

And since it's already April, we also got to hear stories about things people do during this day - more popularly known as April Fools. It's unbelievable the things people would go through to make this day memorable like using a fluorescent marker to brush the inside handle of the phone and then making a call to the person which resulted in colorful cheeks and one not-so-happy person planning for some retribution.

You can now check for yourself the new Morph eXchange. Not only is the site more reflective of the staff and the culture now, but more importantly, there's plenty of value to be found inside like the Morph Appspace which can be your very own application delivery environment.

The Morph eXchange becomes "the launch pad into the world of Software as a Service" beginning with Ruby on Rails developers who need more than hosting to deploy and market their web applications. True SaaS, free from all the constraints, begins April 1. Again, try it for yourself. Sign up, click and browse to find out the solutions and services we're offering.

Hopefully, it won't just be us. Heck, we hope to make you part of this. too.

No hoax, no joke and no kidding.

A Feedback Loop

When I got the news that I will be doing corporate blogging for Morph, I wasn't sure if they (meaning superiors) were joking or folks were just plain too busy putting on the finishing touches on the Morph Application Platform that there wasn't anybody else but myself who would have the time to write. Unfortunately for me, both were far from the truth. It wasn't a joke and Morphsters were not just busy but super busy with a lot of things as surely those who have worked with startups can attest to.

But I guess that is how it is with tech companies these days when it comes to products and services and Morph is no exception. Everyday is a never-ending saga of innovation on top of a handful of management and maintenance tasks. Whether the system we have in place continues to get better is not just for us to say, but more importantly, we need to get user feedbacks and comments to ensure that the Morph Application Platform or any of our succeeding offerings are truly useful and providing the solutions to user needs.

So I guess this blog isn't really just our blog. We don't intend to work in a vacuum. We are going after honest-to-God conversations here even if it means unleashing a two-headed beast if you will, praise and criticism, side by side. A feedback loop.
