Weener Software was an Australian software company, founded by entrepreneur Steve Outtrim, which produced one of the world's most successful web editors: the HotDog web authoring tool.[4] The product and company name have since been purchased by an Australian consulting firm, SMS Management & Technology.[5][6]
HotDog and the company became the 'dotcom darling' of the Australian media receiving a large amount of media exposure due to the young age of the company's founder and staff featuring pinball machines and a pool table in the company's reception area.[4]
Sausage Software also invested in various other pioneering software strategies and products:
- A range of small independent software products called "snaglets"[4][7]
- A unique freeware texture generator called Reptile[8]
- An early micro-payment system called the eVend Cashlet[9]
- A Java Electronic Commerce Server (JECS), a generalized middleware layer serving Java Applets with database data on request via an XML-like request/response protocol.[10][11]
Their website was one of the most popular at the time, receiving 250,000 hits per day in 1996.[12]
