Topic: Docoloco Announcements / Docoloclo Launch

Chris and I are finally lifting the covers on Docoloco. We’ve been running with friends and family for a few months and we’ve made that first set of crucial changes and now it’s time to start talking about what we’re up to.

Here’s a run down on a few of the new features of the site.

Now you can follow your favorite Docoloco members. For example I follow Chris because Chris has good taste and we send a lot of time in the same neighbourhoods so his recommendations are pretty relevant to me.

You can also follow local areas. I follow a bunch of these including Richmond, VIC, Australia which is where we have our offices. I get all the recommendations people make in the area in my feed and weekly email. SO I always know about the best places for lunch, coffee and beer. Nice.

I’ve also started following lists. I follow “burritos near San Francisco” because I only get to the Bay Area occasionally these days and a top notch burrito is usually the first stop after I touch down. Good to stay up with where the quality is.

Finally, I follow Docoloco’s business page. That way, I’m notified if anyone has anything to say about us.

There was more to the release but we’re pretty excited about the “follow” stuff. We’ve been using it at Docoloco HQ for a little while now and it’s a great way of staying on top of what matters to you.

More updates are on the way. We’ll keep you posted.

Topic: About Humbuckers / About the Founders

Chris Mander and Johnny Cussen met at LookSmart Australia. Chris was pushing pixels and Johnny was doing business. They discovered that they shared a love for a new generation of Web products that was beginning to emerge. These products put their members at the centre of the universe and were setting a new standard for online experiences. After LookSmart Johnny went off to work for a large Yellow Pages company and Chris started an advertising agency. But whenever they caught up they’d find themselves talking about what was wrong with local search. So they started Humbuckers to build some solutions and do something to engage local businesses in a conversation with their customers.

While they build up Docoloco and look for a way to pay some people salaries:

Johnny does back end, business, product and coffee.
Chris does front end, words, people and hot chocolate.

They both do vision and ethos.
