Intercom's story has been a wonderful one to watch. They're a particular inspiration for those of us in Ireland; they've consistently aimed high, have set high standards for themselves, and generally raised the bar for Irish companies.

Their blogging has been interesting since before Intercom was even incorporated (at their consultancy company, Contrast's[1], blog).

They're also a bunch of smart, down to earth people.

Exceptional folks. Congratulations.

Not only the story is wonderful to watch, but I really like their attachment to the community here, in Ireland. Being present on most (all?) of the major events, lending their offices (& time) to host Dublin Code Kata meetings - I was taking part in few of those last year and they had been a blast, promoting TTD and hacking while solving interesting problems. Only time and amount of things to finish in my projects had stopped me from going on those meetings - but I will continue with the nearest opportunity.

I didn't had a chance to use their products, but hearing the opinions about it - and knowing their attitude - I'd vote with my both hands if having the opportunity to do so.

Great job, Guys!

I echo this entirely - nice work guys.
