One of the best parts of producing software is receiving feedback, especially the positive kind. What's sometimes even more interesting is where you find comments made about your software, and what features people find noteworthy. Even as the hits continue to increase, I still like to glance through the referrer logs and see what sites are sending us the most traffic.
Today, there were several hits from a forum, and while references from forums are quite common, what made this one noteworthy was that it dealt specifically with my personal favorite feature: the whiteboards. Someone asked for an online, real-time drawing program, and one response was "...the BitWise instant messenger, which I'm afriad I have little personal experience with but have heard good things about, has a whiteboard feature." Not only had the person heard of BitWise and know about the whiteboards, but they had heard good things about it. They go on to say it was easy to set up in just a few minutes.
On some days, researching, developing and testing software is a long, difficult task, but on other days, like today, it's all very worthwhile. Fortunately, with a great program like BitWise, the latter days far outnumber the former. :)
