What’s going on at Squace – part 2
Now we’re gonna talk to Fredrik, who is the spider around here. He work’s at “business” but has a technical background, althought we’ve heard him say “I will never get back to boring programming”
What are you working at, Fredrik?
- On a project that will compile content for Squace in new markets.
How will you accomplish that?
One part of the project is to gather people from different countries to sort out content in their own different languages.
-What markets do you feel are the most important?
There are lots of them. India is of course an important big country, and so is China. But also european countries such as Italy. An unexpected country where we have lots of users is Iran.
Iran?! Why would people in Iran be so intrested in Squace?
- I’m guessing that it’s sort of like in Italy. The Internet infrastructure isn’t that well built in comparison with the mobile market, which is huge! Iran is also one of the world biggest blogging countries, and Squace is a perfect blog reader.
Which countries has their own content right now?
A lot of countries already got content. What I mean is that we’re preparing full pre-selected content for these countries. We have four packages ready today, UK, Spain, Sweden and a international one.
Which site is the most popular one in the UK?
-That is a secret!
Which is your favourite site in Squace?
- I have a morning routine. While eating breakfast I check out Aftonbladet (Swedens biggest online newspaper) , dev.mobi and also a random blog, often mobile related. On the subway this morning I realised that Metro – the free news paper – are having a summer break, so I read Metro through Squace instead.
Which service would you like to have in Squace?
- A groups of sites I discovered today, map sites where you could pinpoint and grade different domestic services like the best Sushi, places with Wifi, and so on. But also a to-do-list, like remember the milk.
