Woices present at the 2009 World Innovation Summit

Woices will be at the 2009 World Innovation Summit that is taking place these days in Barcelona. We have been invited to participate in the speed dating event that is going to take place next Thursday in the context of the Mobile Innovation Program. If you happen to be there, don't miss the opportunity to get in touch! We'd be happy to meet you!

Woices selected as one the three more promising TIC startups by ACC1Ó

ACC1Ó (formerly CIDEM and COPCA, the Catalan agencies for innovation and internationalization) has selected woices as one of the three more promising TIC startups for the 2009. Therefore, we've been asked to give a short presentation of the project at the XV Fòrum d'Inversió that takes place this week in the HIT (World Innovation Summit) at Barcelona. We are really glad to do so, thank you guys! Keep up with your good job.

Woices members run Tarragona half-marathon

One day ago, in 2008, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Tarragona underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as runners of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The Woices-Team!

Forums are open!

Woices keeps growing! we are shaping new features and services according to our plan and your proposals and feedback. We do appreciate that. Woices main purpose is to become a useful service to the community and, as such, your comments, suggestions or experiences are of great value.
Today we've made a leap forward by activating woices forums. With this new common space, we intend to let users share their experiences, request echoes and help to improve woices with their feedback among other things.

You can access forums by clicking the link located at the footer:

Nearest echoes and better groups

Our weekly dose of new features:

Nearest echoes

At the echo page, now instead of showing other echoes by the same user we are now showing the nearest echoes. We feel it is more appropriate and helpful, specially if you are interested in exploring that specific location.



More things. Now you can select your preferred measure units (km or mi) in your settings.


Better groups

Groups pages have been improved too. Now, both echoes and walks are in the same column (items) and forum topics are more visible (people complained they fell to the bottom and sometimes they miss them)


Many minor-improvement have added too. Thanks, as every week, for your feedback.
More next week ;-)

Woices interface now available in catalan

So far, woices interface was only available in english and spanish, but we'd like to keep adding as many languages as possible so we can reach more ecoers. If you feel like helping us, please get in touch! :-)
Today we've added catalan.

Edit your comments and tag your groups!

This week we are happy to introduce two 2 new features:

Editable comments: Now you can edit your own comments. As easy as as clicking on it...

...and save the changes:


Group tags: Now it is possible to tag groups to better describe them and help other users to find them through the search engine.


More features comming soon!
