tcmob2In the time between February 16th and 18th we stayed in Barcelona to partake in the TechCrunch Mobile 2010 Event. Owing to the fortunate circumstances that the Mobile World Congress took place at the same time in Barcelona, the city was filled with over 30.000 people from all around the globe with their main focus on “Mobile Internet”.

At the night of our arrival we met up with Jason Harris. Jason is from the states, a talented Cocoa developer and has been living in Barcelona for three years. Together with Jason we went to the Betty Ford bar in the evening and came to converse about the SevenSnap application. Jason, who himself had contributed to a number of cool apps, was sold on SevenSnap.

The next day the TechCrunch Mobile 2010 Event took place. Mike Butcher from TechCrunch Europe inaugurated and led through the convention. The event was very interesting since the whole internet market was approached from different perspectives. The mixture of startups, ideas and investors made the event quite dynamic and attractive.

During the networking-breaks, we made use of the opportunity to show our app to a few people. It was especially important for us to get some feedback. That is why we were all the more happy that invariably all person that we showed it to thought that it was a pretty cool idea. In the context of these conversations, we came into closer contact with two big and well-known VC-enterprises and were able to win Mike over. After the TechCrunch Event, we went to the Admob party together with Gabriel from TheStartupDigest. The party took place in a Swedish pub right in the middle of Barcelona. There were approximately 200 people in the cramped space, talking for hours about the exciting mobile internet. It was also here that we were apt to strike up a conversation and were able to conduct a few interesting dialogues.

After a few beers and a pit-stop at Burger-King we were on our way back to hotel.

At the last day of our stay in Barcelona, we had a few intense discussions about the future of SevenSnap. On the one hand we thought about by which further functions our app could be extended, and on the other hand which electronic platforms we wanted to make accessible in the future.

All in all, our trip to Barcelona was very interesting. We met a lot of interesting people and had a number of good conversations. But now we want to work out the last details of the SevenSnap app and to be represented in the App Store as soon as possible.

techcrunch_mobileYes, we are going to Barcelona and participate at TechCrunch Mobile 2010 from the February 16th to 18th. This event is very exciting to us, because Barcelona is going to be *the mobile internet city* at these days. There are dozens of mobile internet startups, capitalists and agencies in the city.

We hope to have great talks and contacts there. And of course we will show around the SevenSnap iPhone App.

If you want to meet us, just give us a ping at Twitter or eMail.

It’s really great to see, how SevenSnap Beta Users pushes us to the right way. Over 150 people are currently member at our community and many of them are helping us to make SevenSnap better and better. We started tons of discussions to learn more about the user needs. A special and very important point was to make SevenSnap as such transparent, that users are fine with our model and see SevenSnap as a fair way to buy products.

Just a few days ago we seeded the SevenSnap Beta 0.9.2. This version of SevenSnap solved many app-crashes, optimized the usability and filled the Snap-Room with live-data from our database. It’s a very exciting feeling to enter the Snap-Room and see the price is going down. Second by second.

Currently we’re working on the last details. We’re hoping to start at the end of February 2010 at the App Store (after nearly 12 month of development).
