Press release

Paris, January 14th, 2009

Only 6 months after its official launch on July 1st 2008, Yoowalk has reached the emblematic target of 100,000 monthly unique visitors in December. Thus, for example, a brand like Le Figaro, a leading French News company, who has chosen one of the most visible positions of the entrance street of Yoowalk, has been viewed by all of these visitors just by spending the couple of hours necessary to make their walksite.

In the same time, the Yoowalk community exceeds 25,000 members. These members can make friends, browse the 3D web with these friends, chat with each other and build their personal rooms. All for free.

Xavier Marvaldi, CEO of Yoowalk, is enthusiastic about “the 43% growth rate of the audience in one month, along the 62% growth of the registered members base, which shows the Internet users interest for live and visual interaction in a 3D web.”

Yoowalk in CAPITAL magazine

Xavier — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:30:04 +0000

They talk about us (in French) in the last issue of CAPITAL, a French magazine on the economy. La clâsse!

The picture was taken at a surrealistic photoshoot with fellow entrepreneurs Cédric Giorgi of Goojet, Michel de Guilhermier (his blog here) of Inspirational Stores, Alexandre Lebrun of Virtuoz, and Mikael Benfredj of MyPronostic. The concept was that startups need to eat soup to grow up (I thought we simply needed users, clients and VCs ). But we had great fun doing it!

I want to thank here Anne Rosencher for this great article.
