The Netherlands' Wakoopa Raises $1M For Application SocNet
Wakoopa is a social network site for software users. It allows you to track what you've been using on your desktop, share that with others, and discover new applications and games. The Amstedam-based startup has just closed a $1M led by Big Bang Ventures and HENQ Invest. The startup was incubated by Meganova. It was founded in May 2007 by Wouter Broekhof & Robert Gaal.
Team Wakoopa
Wakoopa works like Alexa in that it has users volunteer to download a small app to track what applications they are running and how much time they spend on those apps. Just as Alexa is interesting to publishers and advertisers, Wakoopa should be interesting to app developers. Given the proliferation of mini-apps in the Web 2.0 world there is a great deal to track.
