Epilogger on VentureCapTv
A couple weeks ago, VentureCapTv did a great interview with me, Ian and JS from FF. I rap a bit about what we’re doing while two of our advisors talk about the program we’re in. Thanks Kristina for the great vid!
Epilogger Pivots to New Direction
We’d like to announce today that, after giving it much thought, we’ve decided to pivot the direction of Epilogger. Since being accepted to the tech accelerator we are taking part in, immense pressure has been put upon us to scrap our vision of Epilogger as THE place to see what’s coming up, what’s happening and what happened. Although we were stubborn at first we believe the wisdom of our peers and mentors is the best course and I am happy to announce that Epilogger will now focus on documenting the eventful lives of Unicorn Hunters, exclusively.
Our new logo!
After weeks of soul searching and several confirmed unicorn sightings in the Toronto-Montreal corridor, we felt that Epilogger’s engine would be best used to help log the sightings of unicorns, confirm their location via mobile geolocation and assist the quickly growing unicorn hunting community bag and tag these beautiful creatures that have eluded countless pre-teen girls by marking their locations on the Google maps API. Since the name “Epilogger” was originally a portmanteau of the words “epilogue/epic and blogger/logger” we are fortunate not to have to rename our brand, as unicorns are indeed epic and we are logging their locations.
Our personal agenda is to expose the existence of unicorns, bring them into captivity, in order to help our team of wizards, warlocks, witches and necromancers (and scientists!) create a lucrative market for genetically modified, miniature versions of the full sized mythical beasts.
We encourage you to join our growing community of unicorn hunters by applying for a unicorn hunter’s license (see sample below). Click the following for a complete list of unicorn hunting regulations and rules put together by the experts over at Lake Superior State University.

“Why?” you may ask; the answer to that is a brilliant (and somewhat diabolical) plan cooked up by our business team to put an immediate end to kid-lit books and multimedia such as the Twilight series. We figure that if every girl could have a mini unicorn capable of granting small wishes while leaving little rainbow trails in their wake, it would be enough of a distraction to bring the current trend of sparkly vampires and wand waving to a grinding halt. For our male audience, we expect our new product will also curb the Brony movement to some degree.
We just hope that none of our future customers wish for a new Twilight book to be released.
Cookin’ with Epilogger
Two weeks in Montreal and we get hungry. Quick update as we make you some spicy balls. A cameo from Chris Jones brings it all together.
Happy Birthday to Guy Gal from Epilogger
We’re busy working away in Montreal but we’re never too caught up in it all for a friend. Today we wish Guy Gal a very happy birthday! Good on you, buddy.
Epilogger at Founderfuel: Day 1
Well, we made it through day 1 of Founderfuel. We’re just over an hour late to Notman House, so it’s all off to a good start. Rebecca joins us today and keeps track of our coffee intake.
Follow along with FounderFuel on Epilogger here!
Epivlogging at Founderfuel
Brooker and I are safe and sound in Montreal and Rebecca will be joining us later tonight. We thought it would be cool to post video blogs to update you all on our status as we move through the FounderFuel program so enjoy! We’ll update as much as we can and plan to share some funny stories. The Epilogger team is gearing up to kick some arse, but first we are getting settled.
Stay tuned and share!epiul
Epilogger Teams Up with Social Media Week Toronto
Call it providence or divine intelligence but it seems Social Media Week and Epilogger were made for each other. Epilogger is proud to be official content sponsor for Social Media Week Toronto 2012. Social Media Week Toronto is the epitome of social media engagement by virtue of its marrying of offline and online activity and we are all about that! People will be meeting in person, following each other, sharing their experiences through photos and tweets and we will be there every step of the way.
What does that mean? It means that each session being organized by the great folks in the Toronto tech scene have the opportunity to immortalize the tweets, check-ins, blog posts and the oodles of pictures that are sure to come cascading in from Twitter, Instagram and most other popular photo sharing services. All you need to do is create an account at http://epilogger.com, add an event, plug in your hashtags or keywords and you’re off to the races.
The really great thing we are passing on to you is the ability to be in two places at once. We know that you may need to choose between one session or the other and lament missing it, or worse, miss the boat on tickets! Since Epilogger also lets you subscribe to other events you can peek in on what’s happening across town from the comfort of your laptop or smartphone! If last year’s #SMWTO was any indication, we’re expecting this year to have tons of content from the twitterverse!
In the spirit of taking part in Canada’s largest free digital culture festival, we’re letting you take a test drive for free! Of course we’d love your feedback as you use the system because we’re building it for you! Tell us about your experience, suggest cool features you’d like to see or just say hi by clicking the feedback button anywhere in Epilogger. We’re listening and we’ll remember.
Be sure to check out the master event page on Epilogger at http://epilogger.com/events/social-media-week-toronto-2012 to see the entire festival as it happens. We can’t wait to see you join the site and have a blast at Social Media Week Toronto 2012!
Epilogger Alpha launched!
There’s still sawdust everywhere but we’ve finally launched our alpha to our list of original sign ups!
We’re proud to be able to show you our redesigned site and tweaked engine. I’d like to publicly recognize the hard work put in by our design and development team in helping to make this happen. Because of their hard work, we are giving the world a way to record history as it was experienced through the eyes of the people who experienced it at ground level. If you’re in the system have a look at Occupy Toronto and relive it if you were there, or catch up if you’ve only seen it as far as the 6 o’clock news. We’ve got it all.
If you’ve gotten an invite email, have a look around and play till your heart’s content. As with any product in alpha stage (not to be confused with a more polished open Beta) there are bound to be some unforeseen bugs and quirks. We encourage you to tell us by emailing team(at)epilogger.com with a description of the issue. We’re currently setting up a feedback system that should be up in the next day or two so keep an eye out for the floating “feedback” button as you Epilog your epicness.
New features will be added as we march on along with some more of the most popular social networks to be supported and we have a big announcement next month so stay tuned!
If you would like to get in on the beta enter your email on the front page and send some friends our way too. If there are any alpha slots open we will squeeze you in for the preview. We’re thrilled at how many of you have already gotten started.
Go forth and unleash epicness. We’ll remember.
Michael, Chris, Jonezy and Rebecca
