After being on the road and (too) busy in the office I finally have some time for my first blogpost. In the first week of March we attended Adtech in Paris. Arthur drove down a car with our booth to this new eBuddy rising Country.

France is our number 5 country, up from 15 a year ago, so we thought it would be good to exhibit at an advertiser conference. This exhausting event (day and night ) was a big success. The advertisements you see on eBuddy help us to make some money to keep offering the free eBuddy service and develop cool new features!! If you know anyone who would be interested to advertise (usually bigger companies) please mail our sales people: advertising[at]ebuddy.com.

After this event I flew to San Francisco to have interviews for our new US office. Yes, after our Amsterdam and London office it looks like our third one will be in “the bay area”, close to some of the biggest internet companies: Google, eBay, Yahoo, Facebook etc.

In the meantime our Amsterdam employees stayed in the office day-and-night to make sure we can deliver you our new eBuddy messenger in the next months. Please be patient, more news on this soon!

If you are interested to test with us please add: ebuddybeta@hotmail.com to your buddy list. You might be one of the first 1000 people to use the new eBuddy.

On March 19th was announced in Cannes, France we made the Top 100 of European private companies by Red Herring!! see announcement here.

Finally Saturday we closed this great March month with some great record numbers: over 10M unique visitors and almost 20 billion minutes of online time, up 145% from last year. It was an unbelievable March month, curious what April has in mind for us………
