What people are saying about Siine Writer, part two




Wall Street Journal 

“There is another way. Rather than trying to be a keyboard for every occasion, Siine is designed for speedy instant messaging, when users often find themselves repeating the same phrase over and over again. Icons represent those repetitions. And it has a few other neat tricks such as a clock for easy entry of time information.”

What can you do with ten clicks on Siine Writer? A top 10.


We are all busy these days – but, as our mothers always told us, that’s no excuse for rudeness. And you know what? Our dear old mothers were right.

That’s why at Siine we don’t just put the emphasis on how quickly you can write with Siine Writer – although it is a quick way of writing messages – but on the quality of the messages themselves.

After all, it is very quick and easy to write “Yes. Thnx, CU.” But it might not leave a great impression with whoever receives it. It’s far better to write “Hello mate. Thank you very much. Call you as soon as I get a chance. Dave.” – especially if the new message takes the same amount of clicks to write as the first.

New Year - new features


It’s probably slightly too late to wish you all a happy new year but I’m going to do so anyway, if only because it gives me an opportunity to introduce some intriguing new features we added to Siine Writer over the Christmas period.

First of all – and nothing to do with Christmas I’m afraid - Siine Writer is now finally available in Spanish. (You can get it from the Android store here: http://bit.ly/zDYpNn)

We’ve always said that we want to open up Siine Writer to as many languages as possible, so this is a really important move for us. We’ve already had support from the Spanish-language media and it is exciting to open up Siine Writer to the 400 million people who speak Spanish as their mother tongue. Bienvenidos.

Swear Your Way


Did you know that in English roughly 80 to 90 of the words spoken every day - or 0.5% to 0.7% of the total - are swear words? By comparison, first-person plural pronouns (we, us and our) make up around 1% of spoken words. 

Did you know, too, that swear words exist in all human languages

There’s even swearing in the Bible: the Authorised King James Bible from 1611 talks of men who “eat their own dung, and drink their own piss” which, while not the strongest language in the world, you’d still think twice about saying in front of your Gran.
