Social webs do love Barcelona

Good news ! Things have started moving in Barcelona and lately the web 2.0 starts up in Barcelona. The first good news is that YAHOO! is expanding the BCN location and is about to open up a new commercial department in order to increase the online advertising share of YAHOO! in Spain and optimize their customer service. The second great news is SCLIPO: the German entrepreneur Gregory Grimmy (ex Sillicon Valley technology consultant) and his team have set up the first social network for video-based knowledge sharing among users. Have a look, it’s great, you find incredibly good video-based tutorial and virtually everything. I had the chance to see Gregory at an infonomia event about Internet TV and his project looks VERY promising; check out the interview with him in “if…” no.53

And then, finally international internet projects like Daily Motion are settling down here. The Paris-based company is a video-based community, just like YouTube but with a better interface.

I think with that kind of news, we’ve already overcome the whole MySpace’s issue… Did anybody go to their Secret Show in Madrid?

Happy Sònar, everybody!

    Este es mi segundo post en este sitio y despues de dejarlo lo llevare a meneame, dig…etc….
    Para alguien como yo, e independientemente de la motivación personal, familiar…——-..desde aqui se ha logrado el aunar, un sentimiento, casi siempre íntimo, privado, de barcelonidad con una iniciativa reactiva-social de declaración de idoneidad ….para la ubicación de la sede española de my Space en barcelona!!!!
    A pesar de la no consecución de tan noble fin, a muchos de nosotros se nos ha quedado en el alma, la posibilidad de plantar cara, movimiento y opinion libre y social de una idea que solo podría nacer crecer y madurar en Internet.
    Por todo esto y por mucho mas, barcelona, spain, wants and needs www.barcelonawantsmyspace.org

    Sincerely thanks!!!
