A Cloudmanic Year – A Year In Review



What did 2009 bring us?

Wow, 2009 was such an amazing and energetic year for us. This year was all about doing things. The time for talking, dreaming, and fantasizing ended January 1st 2009. For years Cloudmanic Labs, formerly known as Matthews Etc. Internet Services, has been working towards the idea of just building our own web based services and transforming from a for hire firm to a product based firm. Well, I am very pleased to announce, we did it!!!

Over the course of 2009 we have been working tirelessly to develop a handful of products. While these products seem sort of all over the board in similarities they are all very much connected “under the hood”. 2009 was a year about building “stuff” and 2010 will be a year about taking this amazing product to the market and getting them in the hands of our customers. With two products, Elevation Fitness, and Mealstub both launching mid to late January and the rest of our products launching shortly after we are really excited to show the world our robust products engineered by one of the top web teams in our markets.

What can we expect for 2010?

Elevation Fitness – Our web-based management system for personal trainers and wellness professional is currently in active beta testing. We have been getting great feedback and should be launching on time in January. We are just putting the finishing touches on. Checkout more at Elevationfit.com

Mealstub – Our a soon-to-be-live online promotion site, that offers our members valuable discounts on local cuisine is going to be ready very very soon. The development is complete and tested. We are just wrapping up the process of getting our restaurant partners on board. We are truly excited about the quality of the restaurants signing up, and about the interest we have already received from our online signup form at www.mealstub.com, where we are giving away a $5.00 credit. Mealstub will be launching in late January.

Rentalbook – Our online property management solution has been a pet project for us for over 8 years. We have used it, and partners have used it as a private project. Until 2009 we never had any plans to bring this product to market. After a great deal of market research we have realized there is a great need, and we have been working our tails off to bring this product to market. We have no official release schedule but we are shooting for the first half of 2010. Checkout more at rentalbooks.net

CloudCrm – Our customer relationship management system designed from the ground up for website operators with many great features for other industries is coming along smoothly. All our products are integrated into CloudCrm currently and is helping us manage our customers in more robust and powerful ways. While we have no schedule for this release it is a work in progress and we will release it as soon as the feature sets are as polished as they should be. Stay tune and keep an eye on mycloudcrm.com

2010 City A Cloudmanic Year   A Year In Review

Special thanks!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our partners, employees, investors, friends, and our understanding family members for making 2009 such a productive year for us. In fact the most productive year we have had over the course of the last 10 years. Without these people we would be no where. From the bottom of my heart thanks so much for everything people have done for us to help in the success for Cloudmanic Labs and our products.

Lastly, a very special happy New Years wish to our customers and supporters. I hope your 2009 was as exciting as ours and I hope your 2010 is an amazing year as well!!

New Cloudmanic Labs Website



We are very pleased to announce that Cloudmanic Labs has a new website. This website overhaul is long over due!! Since, Cloudmanic Labs spun off from Matthews Etc. Internet Services we have been operating with a very poor web site and brand identity. Thanks to the hard work by Josh Hemsley at http://www.thevisualclick.com (@joshhemsley) we have a fresh new look and feel. We also want to thank Amber at http://www.amberweinberg.com (@amberweinberg) for her hard work putting the site together. Without these partners “redo public site” would still be sitting on our todo list.

The reason the new site was so important is many of our products are getting very very close to becoming live and functional. Elevation Fitness (http://www.elevationfit.com) is days away from being live and ready for public use. Mealstub (http://www.mealstub.com) should be launching sometime in January. RentalBooks will be launched during the first quarter of 2010. While CloudCrm (http://www.mycloudcrm.com) does not have a planned launch yet, it is very close. We recommend visiting these sites and signing up for our news letters.

Let us know how you like our new site!!! We are very excited!! Thanks again to our partners that help launch this site.

So What Is Up With The New Name? Cloudmanic Labs, LLC



As if you even had to ask! It describes us perfectly. The first part of the name is very easy. The cloud refers to running software on the cloud (AKA the Internet). For more info on what the cloud is check out Cloud Computing @ Wikipedia.org .

The second part is prefect as well. If you visit dictionary.com, “manic” is defined by “excitement, madness, insanity”. Each one of those words describe how we feel about writing software applications that run on the cloud (the Internet). We spend just about everyday or our live writing software as a service applications to run on the cloud. The pile of Mountain Dew bottle proves it!!!

Lastly, the labs part refers to our way of work. Everyday is a new experiment for us. “If I move this to over there will the application get faster?”, “If I use new new just out of beta plugin will our database be less bloated?”.

Hope you find the name as perfect as we do.
