Bees Make Good Business Partners
Posted by Joshua on
Somehow the fact that I was staring at a hive of cranky bees through a camera lens kept me a little less worried about getting stung as I inched closer and closer to them. My lens was almost touching the little opening at the base of the hive when I got “buzzed.”

One Meeeellion Users!
Posted by Amanda on
Yesterday we hit a pretty special milestone here at MailChimp HQ, and to celebrate we gave away lots and lots of MailChimp goodies. Thirteen thousand items, in fact. One million users is a great accomplishment, but we certainly couldn’t have done it without all of you. So thank you, from the bottom of our warm, furry little chimp hearts. You really are one in a million! *wink*
epic million-user cofounder chest bump
Liquidating thirteen thousand items– including MailChimp tshirts, monkey hats and plushies– is no small feat. But to do it in just 18 minutes and via the internet? Now that is impressive.
Introducing Social, a WordPress Plugin
Posted by Aarron on
With an active blog, Twitter feed and Facebook page conversations with customers can become a bit fragmented. Like most bloggers, we tweet and post to Facebook when we publish new posts. In a write-once-publish-many-times kind of web, commenting happens outside blogs even more than on the posts themselves. That’s why we worked with the fine folks at Crowd Favorite to create a plugin for WordPress called Social.
MailChimp’s Summer Par-Tay, Animated
Posted by Amanda on
Yesterday evening we hosted our summer customer par-tay at 5 Seasons Brewing in Atlanta. Even though the temperatures on the roof deck were well above 90 degrees fahrenheit, we managed to stay cool with popsicles (courtesy of the King of Pops), banana flavored dippin’ dots, and refreshing beverages. Freddie even made an appearance, delighting everyone he hugged!
Even if you weren’t able to make it this time, hopefully these animated gifs will help you feel like you’re right in the mix.
