WooMe Stands Up and Delivers at TechCrunch40
After adhering to the TechCrunch40 press embargo for nearly a month it
was finally time for founders Stephen Stokols and George Berkowski to
take the stage and unveil to the world for the very first time, WooMe.com.
The team presented during the final session of the conference,
“Entertainment for All Ages,” something about saving the best for last
we think! Highlights from the presentation included a demo session with
Techcrunch40 hosts and participants, Michael Arrington, Jason Calacanis
and MC Hammer and Nicolas Zennstrom’s (Skype founder) providing
his view that WooMe will “revolutionize the way in which people communicate.”
An esteemed panel of internet experts kicked off their evaluation of companies with a candid discussion of WooMe’s prospects. WooMe received “mad” props from the queen of web 2.0 herself, Caterina Fake, founder of Flicker who responded to a question by Jason Calacanis asking which of the companies she liked, with an enthusiastic and vocal “WooMe, A+, loved it!!” Well Caterina, You are officially invited to the WooMe party we are planning in 2008 for our one millionth registered user!
WooMe also received a positive response from Loïc Le Meur, well-known French serial entrepreneur, who suggested the only reason he himself might not use WooMe is for fear of his wife hitting him!! But, the good vibes didn’t stop with the panel. Check out some of the positive coverage WooMe has received over the past couple of days following our presentation
