Spanish startups are changing the way the world uses the internet

Every day hundreds of new enterprises launch their online journey, and millions of users find new ways to use the power of the web. Spanish startups are playing their part in changing the way that people use the internet in their daily life. Here are just a few examples of Spanish startups making global waves in 2012, often by making the social web experience a better experience:

Spartanbits have stormed the Android app market with their GoChat app for Facebook and have had several million downloads worldwide; the latest stats actually show they come close to 10 million downloads! In fact, according to appbrain.com it’s been rated by users as the best Facebook chat experience for Android, and was also recently listed in the Sunday Times best apps list.

Twitter has revolutionized the way many people world wide keep in touch with what’s happening. Yet it has certain limitations for ‘power users’, that the people behind Moodyo (the new social shopping network) intend to remedy with the launch of their new product Twissues (Update – February 2023: The startup seems to be no longer in business under this website and we therefore deactivated the link). It allows users to back up of all of their tweets, with quick and easy access, as well as manage trending topics across different timelines. It promises to enhance the Twitter experience for all users, but should be particularly effective for journalists and/or community managers, who need to quickly review past tweets and related links. Amazingly, you can search a topic you’ve tweeted about several times, and then publish again as a linked list. It’s getting rave reviews from ‘power users’, and should be something any serious Twitter user should check out.

Motion4startups must surely be an essential service for many startups (Update – February 2023: The startup seems to be no longer in business under this website and we therefore deactivated the link). In a world where thousands of new apps, and hundreds of new startups launched each day, you need something extra to get your idea across to your market. Motion4startups provide audio-visual expertise so that your new venture has an entertaining explanatory video for your enterprise. For those bringing their startup to market, this is one way to give your enterprise that vital edge.

uWhisp is a cloud service that gives you the ability to record your voice and share it on any website through your browser (Update – February 2023: The startup seems to be no longer in business under this website and we therefore deactivated the link). It is fully integrated with Facebook and Twitter, and is designed to be easy to set up and use. So if you want post and tweet audio files across your Facebook and Twitter profiles, sign up to this free application.

The last example in this article will be Zyncro, who we featured in this article “Spanish start-ups to watch in 2012”. They have since added to their already great product range, by introducing an automatic translator. It allows the user to translate messages and comments on their wall with a simple click, powered by the Bing translation engine by Microsoft. This will surely be a great enhancement to Zyncro’s Enterprise Social Networks, in use in companies all over the world, and serviced by one of their multiple offices located in different continents.
