So Long 2008, Hello 2009

It's that time of year where we sit back, sip on some holiday cheer and reflect about the year gone by, and think about what the year ahead has in store.

The Guardian has compiled a list of the 100 top sites for the year ahead and yours truly has made the cut - think of it as your New Year's Resolution to visit these sites.  Since 2006, the most prominent changes "have been in the fields of collaborative online services that let people in different locations work simultaneously on projects." We feel that remote access and online collaboration are necessary as more and more people are working remotely and globally.

As Dabble DB matures, the rate at which we release new features has slowed, but we have been very busy behind the scenes making sure that performance and stability are up to par as we continue to grow.

Recently, we released Magic/Replace - a new data cleanup tool that we think will help change and simplify the way you clean and organize your data.  If you haven’t had a chance to wave our magic wand over your messy data, head over to www.cleanupdata.com and check it out for yourself. 

Magic/Replace has been popping up in your Tweets.

We wish you all a very happy holiday season, and look forward to showing you what Dabble has in store for the coming year.

Cheers!

Dabble in the News

Our ears have been ringing and we now know why -  you’ve been talking about us.

We're curious to know how you’re using Dabble. Thanks to blogs and videos, every so often we get a glimpse.

Whether barrel prices are falling, or pirates are hijacking ships, oil is always a topic of conversation in the news and at home.  Recently, Jon Udell was chatting to a friend about oil and wanted to know where most of our oil comes from. Well, he did his research and used Dabble to create a nice map to show the results, complete with geographic percentage breakdowns.

Moving across the pond...

Simon Willison used Dabble to help him organize The Guardian's first ever Hack Day, which consisted of 37 demos, 24 hours, 15 guest hackers, 8 judges and a handful coveted trophies. More coverage here.

Dabble has also been getting quite a few tweets lately on Twitter.
