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!

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!
