Homepage of Hyves!

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Today, Hyves decided to go for Gold and asked their community to vote for them to win a The Next Web Award in the category “Best European Company”.

It totally crashed our servers, so I had to call Raymond to PLEASE take off the link from their frontpage. This is pretty weird because normally you would beg for the opposite.

Raymond to off the link, but put my profile back on the homepage, saying that I was dying for more profile views (Raymond, I thought that was a secret between us! :) )

The Next Web Awards - the battle has begun

Friday we announced the nominees for The Next Web Awards and it seems like a true war has begun! Loic Lemeur posted it on twitter and on his blog. frankwatching has a Vote for us button, likewise Dutchcowboys, Wakoopa, Loogic, Glubble and Fring.
It is getting even more interesting in the categories Best European Company and Best European Social site.
Bebo just posted a vote for us link in their Bebo Backstage section, which is gaining them a large amount of votes. Hyves, eBuddy, Xing, Netlog, Dopplr to follow…?

I’m curious to see who’ll win the Awards.

Back in Blogging

About three months ago, Iwanted to write a new blogpost but the admin system refused me… I didn’t know what it was but I knew I needed ftp access. Of course I forgot what it was and left it behind me. Now I finally took the time to fix it (and it only took me 3 minutes:). Well I’m back again..
