STUDENT AGAIN
11.4.2007 | Amsterdam
MIMOA was chosen to participate in the 2007 Digital Pioneers Academy. In this 6 month Academy promising interactive, opinion making, social new-media initiatives are supported by many (international) experts in writing their business plan. The Academy aims to help small starting projects to develop their idea into a viable and economically sustainable plan. The business plan is judged by a group of professionals, and at the end of the course, we will present our plan in a 4 minutes Elevator Pitch at the PICNIC Cross-Media conference in Amsterdam. We need to find a nice way to present MIMOA in stead of using the old-fashioned power point … any ideas?

DEMO ONLINE
12.02.2007 | The Hague
Revealing news: MIMOA’s first demo is online! Go check our beta-version which is continuously developed and altered to our and your (feedback feedback) latest insights.
Even though not every feature works, and the face of it will probably change several times, we thought it to be better to get something real up and running quickly, instead of building a flash-demo or html-mockup. So, the release version actually is the same as the beta-version. We hope to improve the site, and the community gets early access to thing they want. It allows our users to tell us what they think, while there is still time to change. So please spam us!
