We would like to say a huge thanks to all the people below, that helped us make Social Whale possible.

Design & Development

Social Whale developed by Nick (founder & api core development), Kostas (interface & core developer), Yiannis (web design) and Leonidas (web developer). Our web client interface, logo and most of the icons we’ve used designed by Vassilis.

Graphics

We have used several open source & creative commons licensed graphics. Here is the list:

Music

For our promotional video on Youtube, we’ve used “Suriname” a Tristan Cooke’s track from the Chemisphere album. If you are into trance music you should definitely check out his music.

Open source

Social Whale is a project that created using open source technologies and in general we are a company dedicated to open source innovation. We are using Ubuntu powered workstations and servers and web technologies like Apache, mysql, php, memcached, jQuery, aspell, googiespell and piwik among others.

jQuery plugins & Javascript libraries

For the user interface we have used jQuery and a few javascript libraries. Here is the list: AJS library, googiespell, autocomplete, base64, bgiframe, bt, easing, FancyBox, filament group menus, floating box, jQuery form, hoverIntent, jGrowl, mcDropdown, neonflash, pngFix, jQuery UI, jscroller.

The community

We want to say a huge thanks to all the people who supported us from the early stage of development when we needed your vote to present our project in the start up 2.0 contest, until now where you show us your love every day with blog posts, tweets and your feedback. We wont say the names here as you are so many and we wont risk forget someone :)

Without you we would never do anything….
