We’ve had a fantastic year in LouderVoice and it looks like 2009 is going to be even better with a raft of new releases in the next few months. Looking back over last year we achieved the following:

• In January we launched Flag Tag reviewing which enabled any blogger to have their blog reviews collected by LouderVoice with two simple tags on a post.
• We also added Twitter/SMS/Jaiku hashtag support
• In February we sponsored the Best Blog Post in the Irish Blog Awards
• In March we did our first major revamp with LouderVoice V2 adding on-site reviews and a ton of other features.
• We also launched V2 of our WordPress Plugin. (Updated Plugin for WP 2.7 coming very soon!)
• We spent from April to October busy fixing bugs and building our B2B offering
• In July we started using Get Satisfaction for Customer support. Don’t hesitate to add bug reports or feature requests there.
• In September we launched Simple SMS reviews requiring just a single keyword
• We were also Shortlisted in the Irish Web Awards
• In October we launched LouderVoice for Business to great attention
• We were also shortlisted in the Irish Software Association Awards
• And we kicked off our BES 2008 Offering for Irish Investors
• In November, our first B2B client, Klipsch, went live
• In December we successfully closed a BES investment round which will ensure our continued success through 2009

We are incredibly happy to announce that Klipsch has just launched its UK specific site. Not only are they selling amazing audio equipment but the reviews there are powered by LouderVoice.

When you are investing £1000 in a sub-woofer, you want to be sure you are picking the right one. Reviews by other customers can help you make that decision. The Klipsch guys understand that those reviews are a win-win for everyone.
