I love it when a new member, in this case iSimone, submits a unique product that I wish I found and added first but didn’t.
Here is a condom case by Italian Designer Alessi. I didn’t know there was such a thing as a condom case, but it think I know someone who is getting this in his stocking this Christmas.
I 
sat down with a Yahoo marketing executive at ad:tech today and when I told her what site I was from she lit-up and said, “I love that site”.
You have no idea how great that make me feel. Looking forward to building a successful relationship with Yahoo.
Anthony here, I’ll be at ad:tech all week getting our site in front of as many people as possible, attending a few sessions as well as networking with industry folks.
I talked with some great people today from Google, Casale, OrangeSoda, Hydra, Yahoo and many more. I’ll be on the floor at 9 am tomorrow morning because there are so many vendors I want to learn more about.
If you are at ad:tech this week email me at anthony (at) iliketotallylovei.com or twitter me. I alway love meeting new people.
Earlier this week we returned to our respective home bases after a work and event packed week in Berlin which concluded with the 1 Mio EUR zanox Web Services Contest 2008.
No, we didn’t walk away with a suitcase full of Euro bills. iliketotallyloveit.com was not among the three winners – which won’t be getting 1 Million just now either. The zanox Night of Innovations 2008 was fun for us nonetheles. Here are some pictures taken by the folks from zanox:
Since we had a very productive week and met many great people we feel we returned with more than we had expected anyways. The Web 2.0 Expo was not too exciting itself – I would even say it was a disappointment – but all surrounding events where perfect to meet people and network.
While I’m writing this Anthony is somewhere over the Atlantic writing emails on his way to Berlin, while I will be traveling to Germany’s capital tomorrow - probably more comfortably - by train. Why are we going to Berlin? Because we are one of the ten finalists the 1 Mio. EUR zanox Web Services Contest 2008 honored enough to be presenting.
Coincidentally it’s Berlin Web Week and we will be attending a bunch of events. In case anyone else will be there we would be happy to meet you.
These are the events on our itinerary so far:
Web 2.0 Expo Europe (21-23 October)
Pitch Camp x.0 and Pitch Party (21 October)
Lunch 2.0 (22 October)
LateCrunch Party (23 October)
Of course our highlight is the Zanox Web Services Contest on Friday the 24th. Wish us luck!!
The winners will be announced later that day at the zanox Web Services Contest Finale Night of Innovations 2008.
If you won’t be there we will try to keep you updated via this blog and/or our personal Twitter accounts (Anthony & me).
Hope to see you in Berlin!
When I followed the outgoing link from the AK-47 Ice Tray today I discovered something very interesting. The fine people over at squeeq greet every user coming from iliketotallyloveit.com to their site with the following message:
That’s how you make friends!
There is a new cool service out there that makes it easy to “see whether your username is available or taken across 63 web services” — and iliketotallyloveit.com is one of them — called UsernameCheck.com.
Mashable’s Pete Cashmore says it took him “two-and-a-quarter hours it just took to ‘catch ‘em all.’” He did it. I did it. And So can you. It’s fun to watch it doing the work for you and you can feel good about yourself once you worked your way through them all.
It came to our attention that some people have had some problems with signing up for iliketotallyloveit.com. The verification email didn’t show up in some people’s inbox. Please make sure that you also check your junk or spam folders. We are working on fixing the problem and hopefully our emails will be going straight to your inbox where they belong.
Deutsche-Startups, the biggest blog about internet startups based in Germany, had a poll to find the most important German founders and, to my surprise, I made the top 50. And there is even more. In the category “internationality” I landed on the 12th rank. Thanks!
Since we are already talking about top 50s…. All-Things-Internet included us in their list of “50 Successful Social Media Sites You’ve Never Heard Of.” I hope we won’t be unheard of in their eyes for too long.
Did you ever hear about WhoWouldKickAss.com? We didn’t either until today when we learned that they put us in a match against Polyvore.
