Today is moving day! After 15 months in our last location we are today moving to new office space. In the picture you can see the moving truck and a picture of Qoof Park in the background. We are excited about our new larger, cleaner office space with a huge fridge (very important), but in a way we are going to miss the bright pink room from the old office space.
We love it when Bloggers and writers take the time to write about Qoof! Especially when it is positive :) Check out this post from a blogger in the UK.
Part of what he says:
New product releases with obvious benefits for internet marketers like yourself are always fun to write. Qoof in particular catched our attention because of it’s seamless integration of video and a new approach to online shopping, boosting our expectations for this widget to high altitudes.
Thanks for the write-up!
Mashable just posted coverage about our company and they did a great job. Qoof was a co-sponsor at their recent event in Tel-Aviv and it was great hanging with Adam Hirsch and crew.
Thanks also to Ayelet Noff from Blonde 2.0 for writing the article and conducting the interview as well as one of our fellow Israel start-ups Flixwagon. Watch the video to see what Qoof is up to!
More then 90 web 2.0 companies applied and were judged by an All-Star panel that included Guy Kawasaki, Om Malik, Pete Cashmore, Jeff Clavier, Kfir Pravda, and Chris Brogan to name a few.
But at the end of the day only 10 companies would be selected to present at TWS 2008. Qoof was thrilled to make it to the top 10, but we also found out that we made it to the top 5! Considering the competition we were up against and the quality of the judges, this was truly a big honor!
The event was awesome! We really had a great time and our presentation was by far the most memorable. (Don't beleive us? The videos of the presentations are suppose to be posted soon at www.tws2008.com so you tell us!) Om Malik was the Key Note Speaker and Yossi Vardi was entertaining as always. We met with a lot of great potential investors and partners and the sushi wasn't so bad either.
Qoof was chosen as one of 33 companies that presented at the SilicomVentures International Summit held in Israel. Out of the 33 companies, Qoof was 1 of 4 chosen for the final round. What makes this fea more outstanding is that 90% of the companies presenting were either bio-tech or Clean Tech and Qoof was the only one of the 4 that was web 2.0 based. But we went into the final round with our heads held high knowing that we were going up against insumountable odds (just the way we like it) and we put on a great show. And we should have won! But the 4 judges who represented VC firms in the US and Israel all were clean tech and bio tech investors and so in the end a company that "blows wind" won. No we are not bitter :)
A sweet shot of the hottest giveaway at the Mashable event! Qoof Mints! How Refreshing!

We had a great time at the first ever MashBash Tel-Aviv event last night! Being a long time Mashable Fan and reader from when Pete first got started, it was greate being associated with them. 
Adam and his crew were great to work with and we look forward to the next event in Israel soon!
