Webjam is a free online service that allows both individuals and organizations to create their presence on the web.
They are part of the European family as a London-based start-up founded by Yann Motte (French), Marcus Greenwood (British) and Alberto Barreiro (Spanish). I would like to thank Sonia Kalfon (who is in charge of marketing and communication at Webjam) for this overview of what Webjam really is:
"We started from the observation that today if you want to create presence on the web, whether it is to cultivate a personal hobby, to organize your wedding or to manage a charity, you are overwhelmed by the variety and the complexity of solutions. At Webjam, we offer a free, easy and flexible interface where you can start with a simple functionality (a blog, a forum, a personal page,...) and make it evolve depending on your needs, by adding contents and people. We have a simple drag&drop interface, a rich catalog of modules and styles and some unique functionalities such as replication of a Webjam, community management and collaborative publishing."

There are also a few announcements from Sonia Kalfon at Webjam blog for those who happen to be in Paris on December 8th or 10th:
- on Saturday 8 December, Webjam's French Community Manager Cedric will attend Barcamp in Paris, and give a quick overview of Webjam. If you are planning on attending, get in touch with him, he is a really nice guy, whether you talk to him in English or French
- on Monday 10 December, Yann, Cedric and myself will be in Paris to represent Webjam at LeWeb3, and we thought it would be nice to meet with a few of you. So if you want to grab a (free) drink, have a chat, and discuss a few things about Webjam, leave us a comment on this blog post. We have not yet finalized the details, but we will probably meet in a “bistro” with WIFI on Monday 11 from around 5 to 8pm. If you know of a good place to meet, let us know too. Come back to this blog to get the final details about the venue.
I would definitely recommend Webjam for anyone who is looking a convenient way to become a part of the Web 2.0 family. Webjam is easy and flexible, and most of all - for everyone, since it requires no technical skills! Everyone can use Webjam to create an interactive social network where everyone can have a voice, or to aggregate news, photos, games, bookmarks, or to write own blogs, create own websites, design own styles, or showcase a portfolio!
By the way, Webjam is hiring Front-end Developers! Have a look at our Jobs page for more details!
