It was December 2007 when this talented team from Bucharest (Romania) presented their "Big Bang Project" idea in the "11 minutes" competition and was recognized as the winner by a selected jury consisted of Greg Marsh - Index Ventures, George Haber - CEO Cresta Tech, Ioana Simionescu - Ariste Capital, Ondrej Bartos- MCI Investment, Wei-Hai Chu - angel investor, and others. That was only two months passed since they considered the idea of building a distributed content management system so people could distribute information on a variety of platforms. Today, the former Big Bang Project is called uberVU and is in private beta stage (since March 15th).

uberVU helps users find, organize and publish stuff (blogs, pictures, music, notes, job listings, artists they like, etc.) on whatever platform they may be using (Wordpress, Facebook, Flickr, etc) and then find people interested in the same things and build or join distributed communities based on those interests, on top of all those platforms.Encapsulating what uberVU brings to the user as a service on top of the most important social platforms we have a way to:

- Organize information of our interest in the way we like

- Publish any type of content using a large variety of distribution channels from the same central location

- Connect to people sharing same interests where no new profile creation is neccessary

- Contribute content to the distributed communities

uberVU is ran and founded by Vladimir Oane as the CEO, Dragos Ilinca as CMO, Dan Ciotu as CTO, and Julia Mihailescu who is in charge of Business Development. uberVU will be presenting at The Next Web Awards Conference on April 3rd and 4th in Amsterdam (The Netherlands).

Virtual company vs headquarters (9)
by Mark Kofman, CEO, SourceKibitzer

I would like to discuss with the community the issue of how start-ups should operate. Whether it is more reasonable to be virtual company with employees working from home. Or is it still more efficient to get together in one physical office every day.
