About coolgorilla

So you actually want to know a little bit about who we are do you? Well, we are just about the coolest gorillas on the planet and that's a fact!

Back in 2005 a group of us decided to start making software for iPods... not an easy task for primates with fingers like bananas (using the keyboard is great fun, thank the great disk of fire in the sky for spellcheck). We wrote a website and lots and lots of humans came to download our first application, a music quiz. We then decided to do a quiz about films which people also seemed to like. One of us realised that a lot of you humans like the game of football so we wrote a guide to the World Cup which thousands and thousands of you downloaded from all over the world, including several people from Vatican City!

We tried to think about what to do next. Some of you humans like to do things like 'thinking outside the box', 'brainstorming' and 'blue sky thinking'... we thought it would be much better if we just had a good idea. So we sat down with a big pile of bananas and, after a bit of head scratching, realised the biggest difference between humans and gorillas... we only have one language but you all speak different languages. What if we could develop some software for the iPod that meant humans from all over the world could understand each other. After lots and lots of work we finished the application and those nice people at lastminute.com gave us a big truck full of bananas for all our hard graft.

Then it was back to some more head scratching to try figure out our next move. We scratched and scratched, had a little sleep, scratched some more, and then came up with the idea of writing talking phrasebooks for mobile phones as well as iPods. Our friends at lastminute.com gave us some more bananas and here we are.

So if your company has some spare bananas and you think that you would like to do business with a bunch of hairy gorillas drop us an email at business@coolgorilla.com.
