New Vendor Categories February 26th, 2010
We’ve been hard at work on a new taxonomy (i.e. classification of vendors) over the past few weeks. It’s not as easy as it seems. We hope that our new vendor categories will enable more vendors to sign up, many of whom have contacted me directly, asking me to add a category for them. 
We’ve made the categories more general now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get specific. For example, if you are a marketing person or company focused on brand development and management, then you would register yourself under Marketing –> Marketing Consultant. Then, you would enter specific keywords or tags in your profile describing your specialty, for example, “brand management” or “brand development.”
Let us know what you think of the categories. Send us an email or submit feedback on the site if you feel we’ve missed a major category: info@smeepe.com
We’ve also added some more features for our vendors including service area definition, social settings, and the ability for you to also save vendors you think are interesting or with whom you may want to do business. More on that in future posts.

smeepe goes German! December 30th, 2009
Our platform has been translated into German! We’re so excited! We just can’t stop using these exclamation points!
We’re still in Beta – so please don’t be shy. Let us know if something’s broken or is not to your liking, there’s room for change and your feedback is the most important aspect.
We’re planning for more languages soon, but will stick with English and German for now.
Deutschland – melden Sie sich an!

We’ve changed to smeepe.com December 21st, 2009
Hey folks – just FYI – we’ve switched everything over from smeepe.net to smeepe.com. Everything should work as usual, but just wanted to let you all know!
Send me a note, comment on the blog, or “like” it in Facebook, so I know you got this and that the feed is still working, etc.
Thanks all!

eventtrack Acquisition September 20th, 2009
We’re excited to announce the smeepe acquisition of eventtrack. eventtrack is a technology that tracks and collects information based on a particular keyword that the user determines. eventtrack uses over 20 social services to collect its information and display it via RSS feed to the user.
eventtrack is really easy to use. To create a new event to track (event in this case is any thing, happening, or point in time), you just have to do the following:
- Go to eventtrack.info
- Enter the keyword you want to track
- Select private or public
- Click Add New Event
That’s it! Now you can stay current on all social updates that pertain to that keyword.
eventtrack is already tracking thousands of events every day and is being used by two major corporations as a whitelabel service already.
smeepe had planned from the very beginning to integrate the technology as a whitelabel service for its users and vendors. More on that in a later post.
Recently, smeepe got the opportunity to acquire the technology and didn’t want to pass it up.
We’re excited to have eventtrack in our portfolio and look forward to building it out!

We want to help! Positive Economy Catalyst July 16th, 2009
We announced at the time of our launch in April that the first 5,000 vendors to sign up would get a 1-year subscription free — no strings attached, no credit cards required.
Well, we want to go above and beyond that. Because startups, small companies and even established businesses are having a tough time getting through this challenging economic period, we want to help where we can. We want to offer the 1-year free listing for as long as humanly possible.
Why? you ask? We’re a startup ourselves, so of course we want to make money too…at some point. But right now, we want to help you market your business for free in hopes of being a positive catalyst for the economy.
Not only that, we want to be one of those companies that helped bring the economy back on track by sacrificing short-term wins for the greater good of the market.
>> We only ask you of two things: sign up and tell a friend.
Help us give those businesses a chance to survive and thrive!
If you need any help signing up or have any questions, don’t hestitate to contact us: info [at] smeepe [dot] net
