big companies rethinking
moving in small spaces with vision and vivacity. This is what start ups must do, last month I had the pleasure of interviewing Tech startups at a meet up in Zurich at Techcrunch.
There were 40 startups there and some really stood out like amazee where you can manage collaborations and projects online.

Wua.la social network storage solutions, Yattoo free TV on your laptop, W2ML a simple writing platform, Poken a new social, virtual gadget, Yes.com music sharing and voting for your site, and an opportunity to win 100,000 dollars by downloading itunes.

Tell me how yes came about
YES was conceived as a simple way to get the song you hear on radio and grew into a social medium after that.
Explain yes.com and radio reborn to me?
Radio has recently celebrated its 100th birthday. It’s old and it hasn’t changed much. YES adds a number of dimensions:
- see music videos that are synchronized with what you hear
-meet other people listening to the same broadcast
-vote for songs and influence the listener charts
-buy 4 songs from iTunes and win $100,000 if you match the station’s 4Tunes of that day.
What is your vision for this company?
I believe that YES will be a leading platform to enjoy broadcasts
What would you like to do next?
Something completely different.
What do your family think of your job?
My father is an advisor to the company, my mother would prefer a less demanding job offering more security
What are you most proud of professionally?
I am not proud yet.
Which book are you reading at the moment?
“God is not great” by Christopher Hitchens

Too many including architect, lawyer, politician
Thanks,good to meet you at techcrunch.
Absolutely!
I hope to see you soon again,
Daniel
