For sure, Goojet doesn’t rest this summer. A new partnership, with Nomao, had been recently concluded. It’s already the third in the French version, but this time, the English version is available.
Nomao is a search engine of best places and events around you which references those good addresses we recommend to our good friends : “the community guide of the best places and events” as restaurants, travel, sports, culture, music, shopping…
The plus of this partnership: as Goojet, Nomao’s users can create content: recommend, appreciate and share good addresses.
The goojet Nomao will be very usefull to find an address at the last moment when you are out. Improvise your activities being sure you’ll always find something fun to do. Everything is in Nomao otherwise you simply add it.
We are proud to count this goojet in our catalogue, giving it a funnier touch. We also welcome active members of Nomao, now they can use Nomao on their mobile and discover all the other goojets of our website.
Try it and, as usual, give us your comments, positive or not.
We just put on line a new version which brings lots of novelties and modifications. Here is the list, almost exhaustive, of the changes.
As you’ll see in this list, most of them are our answers to your feedback (by email, via Goojy, on the forum, here on the blog or via twitter), so keep on giving us the same again! If you don’t see in this list what you absolutely need on Goojet, it will surely be released the next time. Anyway tell it us in a comment !

in Fun and Team.
Goojet team is based in two cities in France : in Toulouse where everything started and where the development is done and in Paris for everything concerning Marketing and Partnerships.
When the sun is shining, during a lunch break, have a look at what the team is doing…
The idea came suddenly and one hour and two trials after, it was done ! The purpose of this “lipdub” was actually not to do better than existing ones (you can see some on the Office Lipdub page) but just to have some fun and to show people we care (friends, you, our community etc…) that we have real fun working at Goojet !
It is available since a few days but we had to test it and to verify that everything was ok before making any communication concerning it. It is now ok : for all of you that have an Iphone (or an Ipod Touch but some communication tools such as SMS, calls etc… won’t run on it), we have a specific version of Goojet. It is not a java-based application of course (no java on Iphone) but a version that runs in the Iphone browser.
The only thing you need is to go to www.goojet.com on your Iphone.
No more waiting, here are some screenshots of the Iphone version of Goojet.

Examples of goojets :
Contact list and messages :
Some of you could ask where is the interest of an Iphone version of Goojet :
- Goojet it is having web services on a mobile phone, but it is also the sharing, the collaborative use of the services. With such possibilities, it is clera that we need Goojet to be usable on any kind of phone. Because if you want to use it with your friends, you don’t have to care about what phone he uses.
- The goojets’ catalog, the fact that everything is also usable on the web, the goojet sharing, the event-driven goojets etc… all these feature concerning the event and the community parts of Goojet are new, whatever the phone is, so we are sure we bring some value to the Iphones.
This Iphone version still needs some improvements. Do not hesitate to comment it, to tell us what you don’t like, what we have to improve etc…
Since the launch of Goojet last thursday, we got some interesting feedback and comments from the blogs. We would like to thank here all the people that have posted something on their blogs about us !

It’s the launch ! Goojet opens today in public with the new version.
We’re not going to write a long text for this opening, because we’ll write another one with more explanations very soon. The thing you have to keep in mind before connecting to the service is that : with Goojet, you can discover, select and share the best from the web as widgets that run on both PC and Mobile.
You had seen the screenshots in a previous post, it is now time for you to finally use it. And, since it is public, you will have the possibility to invite lots of people arround you. It is pretty simple what you have to say to them : Move your web ! From the PC to the Mobile, from you to your friends, change the way you’re using the internet !
We would like to thank all our beta users : it is thanks to them, thanks to their feedbacks and comments that we could see what was missing in the demo version of December. This new version is so Your version, and we hope you will enjoy it.
It is not necessary to say that you are all invited to tell us your questions, your comments. You can do it either here with a comment, or by sending a message to “goojy” within Goojet.
See you soon on Goojet.

Did you know that some of the Goojet team members were also blogging on their own blogs ?
We invite you today to read these blogs, and of course it is not about their private stories but about Goojet, seen in their eyes.
The first one is Sylvain. He is the CTO of Goojet and is blogging on bluxte.net mainly about technical issues. In a recent article, Sylvain explains on his blog the various techniques used at Goojet to ensure snappy responses to user actions. The characteristics of mobile networks are effectively quite different from what we’re used to on classical landline connections. Taking those differences into account is key to reduce latency and improve the experience of mobile web users.
If you’re more into marketing or interested in the web new trends, there is also Cédric, marketing manager at Goojet, that is blogging (in French) on www.cedricgiorgi.com. In a recent post, Cedric was publishing the presentation he made at a conference, talking about mobile viral marketing. If the subject is interesting you, here are the slides (in English) :
It has been disclosed on Tuesday 15th during a conference that took place in Malta : Goojet isone of the winners of the Red Herring Top 100 Europe.
For those of you who don’t know it, it is an award given par Red Herring, an american media company. Each year, they select best start-ups from all over the world in the high-tech field. They have differents categories and one of them is Europe.
Among previous winners of a Red Herring Award, we can find ebay, Skype or even google ! You can so understand why it is such a pleasur for us to have such a price this year.
Getting this award is giving the whole team more motivation to finalize the new version of Goojet, coming before the summer…
