myGengo 1-year anniversary

This week marks an important milestone for us.
On Friday, December 18th, myGengo will celebrate turning 1 year old!

From humble beginnings in an apartment living-room on the outskirts of Tokyo to our current (still humble) shared-office space in the center of town, myGengo has grown in true start-up fashion. We started as a mere concept and now find ourselves as a viable platform bridging customer translation needs with translators who can pick their own work schedule.

We owe a big part of this accomplishment to you:
Customers - for trusting in us, for your custom, support and suggestions.
Translators - for being dependable & diligent, trusting and enthusiastic about myGengo.
Thank you!

Service improvements
Our drive to improve myGengo's service and offerings has only grown stronger, and we hope you will appreciate some big upgrades coming over the next few weeks. Among other things, we will be launching an enhanced order form later this week with support for MS Office documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF), and a re-designed top-page to make our ever-expanding services clearer to use.

If you simply can't get enough of us, watch out for articles in CNET (Japanese) and MyCom (Japanese) later this week.

While myGengo still has a lot planned for the remaining few weeks in 2009, we are already getting excited for what's to come in 2010.
Whatever and however you may be celebrating this time of year, we wish you all a wonderful holiday season.

Best wishes,

Robert Laing + Matthew Romaine
