IntoEquus

Hello all -

As you’ve probably noticed, our news equestrian site, IntoEquus, is live. We spent many long nights during the weeks of May getting the site ready to be shown to you, and we’re proud that it’s finally up and running.

We’re also very excited about it. IntoEquus is essentially version 2 of our platform, with many improvements designed to simplify the lives of equestrians. In particular, we’ve got a lot more work done on keeping our homepage fresh & interesting – news, trainer tips, events, blog aggregation. We’ve also added some new sections, including a news & events page, tagging & videos associated with individual horses, and a combination slider/picker that lets you quickly browse the classifieds & member horses on the site.

We’re still hard at work at the next round of improvements, so hit the site and leave us some feedback in the feedback form or the forums! We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Hi all

We just launched our iPod contest! Over the next month, we’ll be giving away 6 ipods, in a variety of categories – best plane, best review, funniest video, as well as runner ups in each. This is your chance to get hooked up with the latest iPod Touch, nano or Classic – just for showing off about planes! So swing on by the contest page to get all the details – you don’t even have to fill out a form to be eligible, just add your favorites to the site and you’ll be automatically entered. Good luck!

Into Productions Launch Party Pics

As promised, I’ve uploaded some pics from the Into Productions Launch Party last week.

With ad:tech going on just down the block in San Francisco, we decided to hold a get together at the Sports Club/LA on Market St. Our technology partner Adify provides some space in their booth for their partners, including a fun raffle game, so we were hanging out there Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday afternoon we hit the conference to pick up some thoughts on there the overall ad network model is going (synopsis – lots of demand for affluent enthusiasts. Often from unexpected corners), and then set up shop over at Sports Club for demos, food, drinks and good conversation. We had a lot of fun showing off our first site, Into Flight, as well as chatting about our upcoming equestrian & classical sites. Lots of enthusiasm, lots of fun – we’ll definitely have to hold more events soon. If you’re around the San Francisco Bay area, leave a comment here and I’ll be sure to add you to our list!

Welcome to the Into Productions blog!

Into Productions isn’t a new company. This is just our new blog. I know, what new web startup doesn’t start with the blog first and product second? Hard to say. But we did.

We’ve actually been around for a couple months now. We’ve been working away on building out our first site, http://www.intoflight.com, which you can check out now. In fact, we’ll have some pictures from our launch party going up soon.

We’ll also be bringing you up to speed with why we have all decided to join the crazy ride that is Into. There must be some reason, something so compelling, that seemingly ordinary citizens would leave their lives behind to join us. Maybe it has to do with every one of us being enthusiasts about SOMETHING – planes, horses, music, whatever. And Into’s goal is to dramatically enhance the online experience for enthusiasts. Along the way we get to learn about and play around with some of the most fun hobbies known to the world. Getting down to an airport to fly is now “market research.” Rough life.

In any case, welcome – come back again soon! We’d love to have your feedback & thoughts at Into Flight and our other sites – after all, Into’s entire principle is opening these worlds up to YOU, the community.

See you soon.
