(Not) launching Vortimo
We launched Vortimo Beta 3 yesterday - after 10 months of development. But, it turns out that Google had other plans. They marked the Chrome extension as 'suspect' - as they should have - we obviously require mad permissions: If [...]

Ye - it's that typical awkward first post - when you don't really know if it's live when you press publish - or what the formatting is like.. or if your name shows up next to it. It's that post. [...]
