the blog

It's easy to forget how many people are using Xerpi (since I've filled my page up with my own favorite links). But you can get a sense of how popular Xerpi by searching Google, where you'll find lots of people talking about it on their blogs. Xerpi faced a discriminating audience when a Manhattan-based graphic designer tested its interface. Her conclusion? "I absolutely love it."

New York graphic designer Yaritsa Arenas builds web sites for everyone from fashion stores to electric companies. But when it came to Xerpi, the interface blew her away. "There's more to explore, Yaritsa writes, but "what I've seen so far has really impressed me."

"I highly recommend it."

And Xerpi is fancy, says a web developer named Hank Williams. But "in this case, the fancy is a very good thing."

I like the way Hank describes it. "Everything is very drag and drop...." After setting up his favorite page, he'd reached a conclusion. "Elegant and simple. Well done." But that's been the general consensus in an ongoing online conversation that was started last summer. Some of Xerpi's earliest adopters were saying the very same things. ("Well organized and easy to navigate..." "Extremely easy to use...")

It would probably be egotistical to say "to know Xerpi is to love Xerpi." But I think it's smooth simplicity is hard to miss — and judging from the comments on the web, people seem to agree!
