Like most of you, we are feeling the inevitable rush to get everything checked off our lists before taking some time to be with friends and family during the holidays.

The keen observer may have noticed a few small changes to joobili.com in recent days. These improvements hardly warrant a big re-release party, but I figured they were worth mentioning in a blog post. The era of really long Joobili URLs with lots of weird symbols has officially closed. Our new URL structure is much [...]

Just wanted to let everyone know we recently launched a new upgrade to Joobili’s Event Upload page.
Here are a few of the new features we added:

On 1 May 1707 the Kingdoms of England (including Wales) and Scotland were formally united. A century later the Kingdom of Ireland passed the Act of Union. The modern ”United Kingdom” was born and with it one of the most confusing country names of all time. Question: does your London friend live in England, Great Britain, or the [...]

Right now there are animals of all shapes and sizes gorging themselves on food to fatten up for the lean winter months.

The Face-Off is Joobili’s newest feature. It will appear on the homepage and it allows users to vote between two “competing” travel experiences happening in the upcoming week. It’s pretty simple, just click on the event you want to vote for and the percentage of total votes magically (read ajax refresh) appears. So get [...]
