No not a brand of coffee like I first thought:)Launched in October 2005 by students in Berlin, StudiVZ’s story is an interesting one but oh to familiare one. With 1 million members from Germany, Switzerland, Austria and other German speaking countries - up from 800,000 in October - they’ve certainly got some traction. They’ve even expanded to other countries like France, Poland, Italy and Spain, and have funding from the founders of the ringtone company Jamba, which was acquired by News Corp in September. StudiVZ’s original seed funding, meanwhile, came from the founders of Spreadshirt - Ehssan worked there as an intern. Further investment came from Holtzbrinck Venture Capital - the investment is rumored to be in the region of 10 or 12 million Euros, although this is strongly refuted by the site’s founders.
Anyho its a bit like a german UTube or MySpace type portal....anyhow it's been cloned and ripped off ...and big news they don't care- so should we?:)
