Thanks to the team at Killer Startups for covering OfficeMedium today. We've been a fan of the site for quite some time.

Over the weekend, we decided to make a user-friendly change to our pricing model. We have reduced the monthly fee for user accounts from $8 to $6, a 25% change. This change was influenced by a few things. First off, as stated in a previous blog post regarding future OfficeMedium plans, some people made the argument that pricing client accounts the same as regular accounts is unfair - and that is true.

OfficeMedium is still at a very young age. We launched publically just a little over 3 weeks ago. I thought it was appropriate to make a post regarding what we plan on accomplishing over the next few months. Being open for business for such a short time, our main priority is marketing ourselves and growing our customer base. The space for enterprise and business level software is quite crowded, so a lot of effort is being put towards getting our brand out there; which makes sense for any business.
