Today is an interesting day. We’ve announced on the bOK corporate blog that we are shutting down the service effective October 31st, 2008. First and foremost, thank you to all customers and supporters of the system. If you were a customer and you still had money on your account, please do email info@bOKnow.com in order to be reimbursed.

Amin, Sam, Pooya, and I have had a great time working on bOK. From the very beginning its been one of the most interesting experiences we’ve ever faced. We learned a lot in the process and I will have to put up another post in the future (or perhaps series of posts) telling the “inside” story of bOK :)

 

The good news is that we are all now working on Chide.it. We all believe that there is a big transition occurring in the industry today. We think that all desktop software will evolve into web software. This is a big opportunity, one that we can’t miss out on. We’re working actively to take part in this revolution and hope we’ll be able to serve you at Chide.it. Stay tuned for more updates as we progress. Many exciting things are happening and we can’t wait to share them with you all.

Best Regards,

Aydin.

Telus sent me a text message saying that they would be giving me free local calling on my birthday. For the first split second I was really happy. Then I remembered that my birthday was on a Saturday this year… because I already had unlimited calling on weekends, their “generous” offer wasn’t really all that generous.

Telus, if you’d like to impress me for my next birthday, give me free local and long distance calls… this way, weekend or not, I’ll benefit from the offer…
In the meanwhile, I’ll continue using bOK to save on long distance and international calls :)

Aydin.
