Overview
YouAre was planned after various conversations between José Luis Antúnez and Alfonso Jiménez, both parts of the Blogs Media team, a Spanish company specializing in web development, publishing and consulting. Among their creations the standouts are CSS Mania y VivirLatino. Also is the promoting force behind Evento Blog España, the biggest blogger and web entrepeneur conference in Spain and the second most important in Europe (+600 participants in 2007).
The concept of YouAre as we know it today was born in May of 2006. When Blogs Media completed all their pending work with clients, in September of 2007, they dedicated their time completely to the development of YouAre.
The public presentation of YouAre was done in two phases. On December 28, 2007, we presented the project to the Spanish speaking public on the corporate web site of Blogs Media. In January 2008 we presented the site to international community through the YouAre blog.
YouAre debuts in private beta mode.
Why Microblogging?
The instantaneous nature and the ease of publication that the format allows creates a before and after in the history of web applications. No longer do you have to login on a dashboard and start to write new content, that once published, you'll have to access another website to see. With microblogging, you have it all integrated in one URL. Content editor, published content, and discussions about contents from other members of your network.
When Will There Be Publication via SMS?
We are in discussions with some top Spanish and European companies to support the use of SMS communication. The next step will be the development of mobile features.
