- First game „Brain Buddies“ reaches 2.5 million users on Facebook within 5 weeks after launch
- New games in the pipeline
- Online games industry proofs to be crisis resistant

Berlin, August 7th 2009 – Berlin-based social gaming start-up wooga, founded in January 2009, has won Holtzbrinck Ventures as an investor to finance further growth. Just 5 weeks after its launch, wooga’s first game “Brain Buddies” reached 2.5 million users on Facebook and continues to grow at 100,000 users per day. Players from over 200 countries have already spent 100 million minutes of play time with the Facebook hit. wooga thereby shows that venture funding is still possible in crisis resistant industries like online games.

The brain training game that was launched on July 1st is the first game of the international game development company wooga from Berlin. Currently the team is already working on completely new games that the company will publish in the next few months, building on the momentum of Brain Buddies.

Dr. Lars Langusch, partner at Holtzbrinck Ventures: “We have been looking at the market for social games for some time and analyzed it deeply. wooga’s founding team convinced us and tipped the scale in the end.”

wooga founder and managing director Jens Begemann is delighted about the experienced partner: “Holtzbrinck Ventures is one of the most reputable venture capital firms for Internet ventures. They have a lot of experience in social networks, for example as an investor in StudiVZ, Germany’s largest social network. Therefore they are the ideal partner for further growing our company”

wooga (www.wooga.net) – which stands for “world of gaming” – was founded in January 2009 in Berlin by experienced entrepreneurs (e.g. Jamster). wooga develops and markets games for social networks like Facebook. These so-called “social games” combine the two biggest current online trends: online games and social networks.

I love kids, do you love kids? You should, they are the best models for photography. They’re completely natural, they’re not shy, they’re spontaneous, oblivious and cute.

I never have a problem taking a cute photo of children. I have a lot of trouble taking photos of adults. They’re very self conscious and if one hair is out of place, they complain the photo is ugly. Arrghh…you can’t win!

If you’ve been following my blog for the longest time you would know that I’ve been making one wrong decision after another, and today I decided to turn my life around. This epiphany that I had this morning is almost like waking up next to Emma Watson.But, really. I woke up this morning, looked for Emma Watson, was slightly pissed off because she wasn’t there, and – BAM – epiphany. This is probably the most important decision I have ever made and I shall share it with all of you.Today, I decided to eat salad.What.Anyway, what is up with those plastic containers salads are served in? Every salad I buy lately gets progressively harder to open. Somehow, the container gets progressively tighter every time I try prying them open.

I found myself in Greenbelt 5 with my husband as I quite forgot that there was a Royce’ store located along the ground floor that I knew we couldn’t possibly avoid. Too late I realized as I saw his eyes light up and his feet carry him towards the glass counters where lots and lots of Royce’ chocolates were out on display.

Of course he had to choose the same Nama Bitter chocolate that I bought him months ago. I offered to buy him something else just so we could try other variants but he wanted to stick to what he was sure tasted absolutely great.

My hubby and I attended his colleague’s wedding the other day and I was more than a bit surprised to find out that the groom was only 25 years old. That doesn’t mean I think its bad, its just that in this day and age, I kind of expect people to get married at a later age compared to when our parents did during their time.

In the world of making money from PTCs, it’s a known fact that you won’t be making any big amount in a short period of time without any referrals under you.

Generally, there are two types of referrals. The first one is a referral that you acquire through your referral links and banners, otherwise called as direct referral. In a real world, there are plenty of them. If you are good at spreading your referral links and banners and convincing people, you’ll get lots of direct referrals in no time. Unfortunately, getting direct referrals is not an easy task for most.

The second one is called rented referral. They are the easiest referrals one could make, provided that you have money to spend. That’s because rented referrals can be acquired for a price. Most PTC sites get unreferred members (those that didn’t register under anyone). These members are sold or rented by PTCs in packs for a price. When bought / rented, they will earn for you with the clicks they make for 30 days. After that, they expire. You can either pay again to renew your referrals service so they’ll continue earning for you in the next 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the renewal periods available from your PTC. A referral for rent generally cost around 30 cents or less for one month (prices may be higher in some PTC sites that I haven’t joined yet, I’m not sure).

Although renting referrals is an easy way to get referrals working for you, it requires a bit of management and math to really profit from them. That’s because there are times when people purchase referrals and end up not getting the money they spent back even after the referrals expired. In effect, they are spending more than what they earn. If this is your case, better rethink your referral renting practice.
