Hey all my .tv friends,

Just wanted to share a couple of updates with you about Qoof and how we are using .tv.

Qoof was chosen as one of 15 companies to go on the Israel Web Tour ( www.IsraelWebTour.com ). The tour is being launched by the Israel-California chamber of commerce and showcases the hottest web start-ups in Israel to the largest companies, VC’s, and private investors in Silicon Valley.

I feel very honored that Qoof was chosen as one of these companies.

Some of the companies we will be meeting with on this tour is:
Google
Facebook
Microsoft
Yahoo
Ask.com
And many others.

We will also be meeting with some amazing people including Michael Arrington from Techcrunch and Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIN as well as reps from all the largest VC’s on Sand Hill Road.

As part of this tour I will be giving a short presentation at Microsoft about our company and our products. One of the 10 slides will be dedicated to the .tv extension and my belief of the future of .tv and where the extension is going.

Starting a company is tough stuff and a long hall. When I first started on the .tv forum I had only 1 employee and only a sharp business plan with some start-up money from friends and family.

Today we have 16 people in the company and have signed deals with companies like DrugStore.com, Ice.com, Pronto, & the Dish Networks with many more relationships in the works. We have also raised more than 7 figures in funding as well.

We will be launching a Facebook Ap mid February using one of our .tv names that I will be excited to share with you when we do.

Our first site we are developing using our platform is www.bluetooth.tv. The site is live, but we are constantly working on it to perfect it.

I want to thank all of my .tv friends on this site. Over the last 18 months I have learned a lot, made some great business deals and even better friends. I try to push the extension wherever I go and I hope that I can inspire some of you to follow your dreams, follow your passions, and never give-up.

One of the most important things I have learned when building a company is be careful with who you hire and partner with. I have been very blessed to have found such amazing partners and employees. Each one is a real gem and that is what makes this engine work.

If any of you will be in Silicon Valley I would love to see you at the show. You can register here: HERE

Obviously we have a long way to go at Qoof, but the future looks very bright indeed.

Go .tv!!

Guys, thank you all for your kind words. I really do appreciate all of your responses. I hope I will make this board proud. You should know, whenever we speak with VC's and talk about our plans for the .tv extension they understand it and the feedback is always positive.
