Zipingo Team Blog

Initial Thoughts from the Zipingo Intern

Hi, well I guess you should be saying that to me. I’m the new Zipingo intern. I started last week and I will be hanging around until the beginning of August. I am currently a senior at a fantastic university in the state of Missouri, and I am just in Mountain View for the summer.

Behind the Curtain

Since I started blogging for Zipingo back in July, I've been checking out other company blogs. It's been a learning experience for sure. I've seen a myriad of styles and content.

All Work and No Play...

I belong to two teams at Intuit. Sometimes it's confusing to other people, but I manage to keep it straight.

2005 vs 2006

I haven't written since December, so a Happy New Year to you all! And because it's a new year, I thought I'd share my overall reflections on last year and what is coming ahead this year.

First, I'll share my reflections on 2005 with respect to Zipingo.

It’s all a matter of perspective

User feedback is very important.  It helps give the Zipingo team plenty of perspective about our product that sometimes we miss from our lavish offices (well, cozy little combined space) in San Diego.

Well, it took me 4 months, but here I am!  I'm excited to blog for the first time about Zipingo.  And, I intend to do so regularly going forward.  I'll use this first opportunity to introduce myself and give a little info on the birth of Zipingo.

So I'm walking around one of the Intuit buildings in Tucson this week when I overhear one employee comment to another in the Oasis (break room) about a new goodie for employees.

During one of my post high school jobs, I wore a dorky uniform with an ugly hat. At lunchtime, I'd take a break in another store at the mall, still sporting my employer's garb. It always amazed me how people would mistake me for another store's employee.
