On the web of Grupo Intercom, I came across Citrusparadis, an online shop for the sale of ecological and natural cosmetics.
If I am not mistaken, this is the first e-commerce shop from Grupo Intercom. The group has other projects related to ecommerce (Solostocks, Artesanum) but I think this is the first purely ecommerce site that they have been involved in.
But Citrusparadis is not only an online cosmetics shop, it also has an informative and popular blog mostly focusing on ecological products.
At the forefront of Citrusparadis is Catherine Morghese, an expert in natural cosmetic products.

I wasn’t expecting this movement from the founders of Ebuga (and Eburra), who also previously founded Coches.net but the truth is that it makes a lot of sense to make the most of the synergies with a social network of automobile aficionados and start a website of classifieds for the sale and purchase of secondhand cars.
The website is called PocosKm (literally, FewKm), the typical phrase used when one wants to sell a car (”it has few kilometres”), and follows quite well the style of Ebuga which I so much like, very clear information and with an appropriate structure for navigation (my congratulations to the designer).
PocosKm launches with GoogleMaps integration, a control center for professionals and alerts of vehicles to notify potential buyers when a vehicle of their desired specifications goes on sale.
Just today, Christian Chena announced that he had sold Carros.com and wanted to sell Coches.com, which is another sign that the world of automobiles on the internet is very active lately, as we commented the other day while talking about enCooche.

At the beginning of June, we exclusively presented Vi.vu and now we have come to know that Caja Navarra, through Eurecan, has invested 200.000 euros in the form of a participative loan.
It’s interesting that in the blog of Eurecan they talk about the confidence of the investors in the management team of the company, mentioning the names of Jorge Villabona, Jorge Maestre, Ignacio Parada, Humberto Matas and JoaquÃn Guirao (some of them from the management team of dnx), as the people in whom the entity has deposited its confidence.
This investment stands out, in my opinion, for the support that it brings to a pioneer project, a social network focused on the world of health and medicine, the kind of project that are having a lot of success in other countries, but for which we still don’t know if there is sufficient interest for users in Spain. With regards to this, Rodolfo Carpintier recently commented on his blog about projects of this kind and I guess that more investors would be interested in such initiatives.
