“I absolutely love the idea of DareMyCompany”, says Jennifer Van Grove here on Mashable. She wrote a detailed review of the web app Zigron lately developed after the success of PingMyCompany.
DareMyCompany is a simple tool that lets companies find other companies for different sports and other challenges/competitions. It’s one of it’s kind and has been developed by keeping in mind the importance of entertainment for working people.
Currently the challenges on the site fall under sports category only, but the criteria will be expanded with a lot more locations, and some new features laters.
If you’re also tired of working and or want to show other companies in your area that you’re best at something, just give them a call at DareMyCopmany and prove yourself!
This is the best time to visit Pakistan for tourists, reason being the cool weather and well developed public places. To make the best use of this time, Zigron had planned a Bar-B-Que event in Rawal Lake View Park, on December 25th, 2008. The park is the back side of Rawal Lake that is one of the big artificial water reservoirs [covering an area of about 8.8km] in Pakistan.
Being a public holiday, it was a busiest day at the spot with so many people round, and it was good to see such big crowd there, which has previously been seen only in the metropolitan city Karachi. Other than crowd, the much noticeable thing was Lake View itself, all water and water, and then the delicious Bar-B-Que. How much people enjoyed there, can’t be expressed in words, but definitely in pictures below:
Mashable.com recently added Zigron’ s PingMyCompany.com to its list of most underrated websites of 2008.

Whether it’s consumer electronics, desktop software or a web application, usability comes first, i.e. the ease with which the user will use that product. The evolving technologies, geographical differences etc though cause a little variation, but standards are almost same everywhere. Usability itself is a standard, and any new, or enhanced product must follow the usability guidelines.
Being a product developer, why should you care about Usability is a single question with hundreds of answers, some known and many hidden. Discussion is the only way to explore all those, and so Zigron Inc. and CDF Software arranged a seminar on Usability in collaboration with NUST Islamabad. Seminar will be held on Tuesday, December 2, 2008 from 5 pm to 8 pm (PST) at NUST Sector H-12, Islamabad Campus.
The seminar will be a sort of discussion on current Usability practices round the world, the difference and similarities, the best and the successful, and the emerging trends. Another interesting part of the seminar will include a documentary on design Helvetica. Panelists of the seminar are people from different software houses of Islamabad and NUST, i.e. Babar Khan (ikonami), Faizan Buzdar (Scrybe), Haris Khan (Zigron), Osama Hashmi (CDF Software), Murad Akhter (Tintash) and Dr. Khalid Latif (NUST).
The purpose of seminar is to discuss the Usability standards with specific reference to modern technologies, to make better use of it within our domains and to create awareness among future entrepreneurs.

Few days back we had arranged a group competition to save the eggs when they are throw from the roof top in a box. Six different teams were made and each team was given around 1.45 hours and a very small budget to make these boxes. Goal was to safe eggs by adopting creative design concepts.
I am proud to announce that all eggs were saved which shows Zigron team is quite talented . The competition resulted in a tie as all designs were equally creative thus everyone was declared as winner.
Below is the slide show from the event.
After the successful launch of PingMyCompany, Zigron decided to develop a more interactive site where employees of different companies can have real fun. It’s DareMyCompany, whereby one company can dare others to compete in anything. For instance, lately a team of MOHAA players from Zigron had a match with MediaLinkers.
It’s not only about daring companies locally, instead you can dare an overseas company, for instance for design and development contests. So be as innovative as you can to dare companies in the areas where no one has ever dared them.
Each company when registered will have a Dare Profile with all their stats. There’s a ladder also for company’s position, and it gets updated as any two companies have a contest, and post their result.
Soon we will publish the exact rules for using the ladder and how positions are calculated. Till then please enjoy the site and start challenging other firms.
