Hello! Welcome to the eBuddy blog. Here we talk about our passion, the team and our products.

2009 countdown

Posted by JJK on December 31st, 2009

A few more hours and it’s 2010. While Kirimati has already popped the champagne, we’re almost wrapping up to go and celebrate the new year.

This is our countdown to the new year:

100 billion messages have been processed; the equivalent of about 450 thousand bibles

3 billion is the amount of times that you have used eBuddy, this is about twice as much as the number of Cokes served world wide every day.

39 million is the number of eBuddy Mobile apps that were downloaded in 2009, the same number as iPhone and iPod Touches sold this year.

150 thousand is the amount of years that you were online if we add up all the hours that you have been logged in to eBuddy. If we go back 150 thousand years in time, we would be in the ice age

135 thousand is the amount of fans that we have on Facebook…and counting!

We could go on for a while, so let’s speed it up:

…3 totally new clients were introduced this year: an Android version, an iPhone and an iPhone Pro version.

…2 major prizes were won by eBuddy: in January we won the Crunchie for best international start-up and earlier this month we won a Mashable Open Web Award for best mobile service

…..1 is the position we had for most part of the year on Getjar (okay…until Facebook took over ;-) )

……..Happy New Year!
¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
Selamat Tahun Baru!
Bonne Année!
كل عام وأنتم بخير
Gelukkig Nieuwjaar!

Thanks for your continued support of eBuddy. it’s a great reward for all the hard work.
Let’s make 2010 even more spectacular!

    Happy New Year!

    A request, I use eBuddy for my mobile. But, I see no XMPP option. Would it be possible to implement XMPP?

    Hi Friend,

    I really liked ebuddy and has been using it since the JAVA app days, but lately this “not able to logout” is on my nerves.

    I have posted several entries and sent you email. I see the same problem is being faced by several users.

    We are forming a group of 50 individuals who will be reporting this to google and APple to remove this app which is causing so much problems. Even the password change doesnt solve this.

    So Please consider the seriousness of this issue and save Ebuddy from falling to such menial levels.

    release a fix for this logout issue.

    Hey guys, I’m a big fan of eBuddy Pro on my iPhone. I have a couple of feature requests, though:

    (1) Allow me to define “blackout” times where push notifications will not make noise on the phone. I’d love to leave eBuddy logged in overnight and have my East coast friends not wake me up at 5:30 AM. :)

    (2) Skype support! Even just the text side of it, but definitely the voice side would be awesome.

    Thanks in advance for considering my requests.

    An iPad in your hands and you’ll know what the fuss is all about.
    Select an app and the device disappears as you find yourself immersed in the
    experience–the iPad defines a new category for devices. iPad Programming shows you how
    to build apps for the iPad that people will love to use.
