BEEDOCS Rewards Donations to Haiti
Monday, January 18, 2010
Our hearts and minds have been with the people of Haiti since the devastating January 7 earthquake. International outpouring of aid for Haiti has been massive, but the need is still great. We put our heads together to decide how BEEDOCS can take part.
BEEDOCS would like to encourage disaster relief donations by giving away a free Bee Docs Timeline 3D license ($65 value) to anyone who donates $100 or more to a charitable organization providing aid to the people of Haiti.
Here are the rules:
Your donation can be dated from any time between January 7, 2010 and January 22, 2010. You may choose any non-profit organization providing relief work in Haiti.
Send proof of donation to elise@beedocs.com by the end of the day on Friday January 22, 2001. Proof of donation includes, but is not limited to: an electronic receipt, photo of a receipt, or your name on a Donor list.
If you would like us to send the license to someone else on your behalf, please make note of that in the e-mail.
We will issue the complementary licenses next week. We won’t spam you or anything, we will only use your information to send you a license.
If you have yet to make a donation to the relief effort, here are some that we have personally supported:
Charity Navigator is a great resource to help you decide where to give.
Please help us spread the word!
If you are a software developer and you would like to join us or follow suit in this effort, we’d like to hear from you too.
Thanks,
Elise Hunt & Adam Behringer

Elise’s Reflections on 2009 at BEEDOCS
Wednesday, December 30, 2009
I joined the BEEDOCS team in March 2009. The last nine months have been an exciting, eye-opening time for me. I want to take a moment to reflect on where I have come from and what I hope to move toward in the coming year.
I have always valued independent businesses, and have made a life-long commitment to supporting them. Small businesses are the tocks that make our communities tick, which I am especially reminded of during this Season of Giving and Shopping.
My background is very brick-and-mortar. Before joining Adam Behringer at BEEDOCS I worked for small neighborhood boutiques and bookstores, always for long stretches of time - long enough to get to know my customers and to feel like I was an important part of the neighborhood’s heartbeat. When I joined BEEDOCS this year, Adam challenged me to take this spirit and apply it to our online community.
At first, it was difficult for me to imagine a feeling of “neighborhood” remaining while engaging with customers from all over the world through email and Twitter. I have learned that the value of human contact and engagement on a personal level does not diminish with distance, or with advanced technology. A small business has exponentially more opportunities to thrive and grow and connect to people without being tied to a single location.
I find it funny now, and almost quaint that I was so out of touch nine months ago. Many of you may not remember this, but the Twittersphere is a pretty big idea to wrap one’s head around. This is a world where so many people like Adam have known about these things for a long time. For me, it was a revelation. I look at my first nine months at BEEDOCS as a great example of how adaptable people are and how quickly we learn.
Now for the next nine months...
I am very excited about 2010. This has been a year of great change, and I am ready to settle in, buckle down, and move forward with all the things that I have learned. I am looking forward to meeting more of our BEEDOCS community in person, and to continue to hone my digital-engagement skills. The learning curve has been steep and exhilarating, and my intention is to continue to explore and connect with our community.
I would like to wish everyone throughout the BEEDOCS community a joyful and peaceful New Year. Stay in touch!
