Engage! Expo walksite to be visited here.

News Assurances, a French portal on the Insurance industry, has built its walksite in Yoowalk.

Here is how they invite their readers to visit it and meet them: News Assurances Yoowalk.

I like this kind of examples which is exactly why we created Yoowalk : to enable people to meet around common areas of interest, brands, contents, issues, shops, etc. And when companies like News Assurances define the business they can make out of it, we’ve reached our goal.

You can visit their walksite here.

Buzz De Luxe, a French blog on luxury and the fashion industry, views Yoowalk as the potential new Eldorado of 3D web for the luxury industry, after the disappointments of Second Life and the failure of Google Lively: Read the article (in French).

They have also created their walksite that you can visit here: Buzz2Luxe walksite

Merci à Stéphane Galienni, author of this blog.

Ok, some will say it was cold, and nobody could get an easy access to the internet. But we would like to thank LeWeb’08 and especially Microsoft for letting us have so many good opportunities. We attended the event from the very morning till eveybody had left, and this has been profitable since we met a lot of good potential partners.

First, some Venture Capital firms came to our booth to observe our thrilling concept and ask judicious questions. We will tell you later where these first contacts led us to.

What is also very interesting was the number of potential commercial partners that we discovered on the fair. This will give us a lot of work after the event to bring to reality some of these opportunities. Given the high number of contacts established, we might conclude on 2 or 3 businesses as from the beginning of next year.

Last but not least, we could at last meet some of the bloggers that have spoken about Yoowalk in the past. Good to see the faces behind the blogs! Some of them made vids about Yoowalk and posted them on the web. So, here you have the choice between:

• a short demonstration of Yoowalk by Adrianskardhamar

• or a (very) long explanation by Xavier, founder and CEO of Yoowalk

We are proud to announce that Microsoft has spotted our start up as one of the 12 most innovative start ups in the world! To check out, come and see us on Microsoft’s booth at LeWeb’08. Here’s the Press Release about it:
