Your Traveas team never sleeps

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

These past few weeks have been among the most exciting and interesting weeks ever for us at Traveas.

We have:

We have also:

  • Travelled back to Germany, France and UK.
  • Started more dialogs with potential clients in European countries such as Denmark, Finland, Norway, UK and Holland
  • Started a first dialog with a potential first client outside Europe, a very exciting dialog with a major player in India.

After that we have:

  • Attended the SIME08 conference in Stockholm, got inspired by many great speakers and panel discussions and as always we met with a lot of interesting and potential future partners.
  • Attended the Internetworld Top100 event in Stockholm, con grats to all nominated websites. Don´t be lazy though, cause next year we will challenge you all :-)

Finally we have:

  • Developed a new and very interesting distribution channel for our services, more about that later on.
  • Initialized tests with 4 new potential clients (travel agencies that is) and awaitening tests from 5 further agencies.

Just to mention a few things :-) How was your last couple of weeks?

Cheers!

A Blogalanche experience

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Even though I have been a part of the Internet revolution since the mid 90´s I still get stunned by the power of its nature from time to time. So I will now share a Blogalanche experience I just had that really shows the true impact of the blogosphere!

Recently we opened up our service globally, ie it´s open for everyone no matter the country or mobile operator, read more in my earlier blog post here

The effects of that blog post amazes me, both from an awareness perspective not to mention traffic wise. First we were reviewed by one of the leading blogs in Europe when it comes to Internet and trends, Everything 2.0, created by a true Internet pioneer: Mr Bob Stumpel

That led to a listing at Killerstartups in the US, which scans the Internet in order to list the hottest startups on a daily basis. Please visit the post and help us out by giving us your vote here!

Shortly thereafter, we got reviewed by Makeuseof.com, which apparently is read by Japanese versions of similar review sites. So shortly thereafter we got picked up as Dot Com of the Day by 100shiki.com.

I can now ascertain the following: We have just doubled our daily traffic on Traveas.com five days in a row. That is a increase of 3200% in less than a week, including a weekend. I´m stunned!

This has completely turned the country split on our visitors around, from a clear dominating position for Sweden (naturally) to a the new leader Japan, unendangered in its first place.

Now that´s what I call a Blogalanche experience and the tune of the week at the Traveas headquarters is of course nothing else than this old floorfiller :-)

Sayonara!
