Just wanted to add that I resubmitted this because my post yesterday was buried for a controversial title - reworked it and submitted for all those interested in watching Browserling progress!

Signed, a happy customer (Teespring.com)

Just noticed this post got buried again... not really sure why but I was hoping someone could tell me?
Just chill. Hacker News has a complex scoring algorithm. If your stuff is good, it will make it to the top.
Probably because this is just a trumpet tooting, pat ourselves on the back and firm handshake press release and doesn't contain any insight into anything, really.
Why is your name green?
That means it's a newly registered account.

This may sound harsh. But browserling really needs to consider a rebrand. I think this is an enterprise level tool thats super useful but every time I go to it I think its a toy for kids. Even though I run an agency where design is a large part of my practice this isn't something I'd normally go out and say because a lot of branding is superficial, but please, please consider upgrading this brand. You can be fun and professional at the same time and I really believe it would pay off considerably.
Part of the charm of a tiny team of guys making a clever product is the unique voice they bring to the game. They'll will absolutely need to polish up that image to move too much farther into the enterprise world, but you don't really bootstrap your way into the enterprise so there are plenty of other things they'll need to 'fix' first.

Meanwhile, would be nice if their system could handle whatever traffic load it's under now due to HN linking.

I'm impressed that you continued developing the service with less than 100 customers for 2 years. I admit I would largely have given up by then. Are you optimistic for the future?
Any support for mobile coming?
I love browserling. We share accounts for our business development team and lite web testing at Pulse. Glad to be one of the 100 paying customers. Keep rocking little guy!
