New blog design in progress. Excuse the scaffolding. This is just a short about section where you can describe yourself and your site. You'll want to keep it fairly long because there are some layout issues that arise if the area is below a certain width.
How time flies, FineTuna is a year old. Odd things often happen around birthdays; I think they call it synchronicity, with a lovely review on Site Point today and a push from the Tuesday Push tomorrow.
We had one goal for FineTuna, to become the TinyURL of design feedback. Simple, fast and disposable after you have your point accross.
We got such a positive response that we decided to build it and so a concept became a reality. And we never imagined just how many people would love it. The statistics are truly amazing. Over 25,000 images have been uploaded, shared and reviewed with more than 9 gigs uploaded.
It is really interesting to see how the initial concept for the website changed from how we thought it would work, to what we have a year on. The upload functionality with the Firefox extension really helped its usability. We also decreased the number of buttons from 5 to 4 making things simpler all round.
FineTuna unleashed a truck load of reviews and mentions including TechCrunch, CSS Mania, cnet, and many others during the past year. We are very proud of the coverage FineTuna has received and thank everyone for using, promoting and pushing our efforts.
Just in time for a nice Christmas surprise, Finetuna has been featured in this month’s edition of Webuser UK (the biggest selling internet magazine in the UK). A lovely way to round off a very successful few months for our little app that could. Find us on page 16 under best new websites. Now who says Santa can’t come early!
Finetuna.com has been getting some great coverage around the web recently. The great thing is we didn’t have to bribe anyone, they seem to be finding it by themselves. Below is a small selection of the sites and comments.

The Video Blogger and Author did a live video review of Finetuna on his show here.
Pretty cool! Our web app Finetuna has been nominated for Most Innovative Website kindly Sponsored by iQ content. Some stiff competition there who will all be getting evil stares on awards night on October 11th in Dublin. :)
Fingers and toes crossed.
Finetuna.com is a handy app for adding and sharing comments and feedback on design concepts.
The lads over in Contrast posted a pic of Eoghan deep in conversation last friday. It was crying out for a caption so i asked the guys on Twitter to post a few suggestions using Finetuna and the winner would win a Sheepstealers T-shirt of their choice. Click entries below for full size.
