Fernando del Pozo and Daniel Primo just presented Go to android.
A developers community of Google Android, Go to android has been developed using Drupal and is for now available only in English. The development of applications for mobile devices is the ‘in’ thing these days, and as you can see, with a great future ahead.
I like seeing how avid readers of this blog take the plunge in an adventure of this type, mostly for the future prospects that this community can have and the directory of applications for Android that already has, for example, TwitterDroid available for download.
If you are a developer of applications for mobiles and you are thinking of creating something for Andoid, I recommend you to participate in Go to android.
Vote for Go to android in Loogic Rank.

A few months ago, we talked about the development of a social network of cars, eBuga, which is now operational.
I had a lot of curiosity to know how eBuga was going to be, and to tell you the truth, I really liked it. My congratulations to Edu Bayo and all his team members because they have been able to combine very well many concepts of the Web 2.0 and bring them to the world of motor, which has a good following on the internet.
I think it’s worth it to dedicate some time to see all the functionalities of eBuga. The basis are the specifications and opinions of cars, but apart from that, there is information on car dealers, user info (here’s an example), groups of users and news channel (Digg style).
There’s a lot of information about car specifications, which in my opinion is the best part of the site. We can find information generated by eBuga staff and by users of the site, mostly opinions and reviews which could add a lot of value to the site.
More information in the blog of eBuga.
Vote for eBuga in Loogic Rank.

I’ve received the news that Grupo Intercom has become a shareholder of the social network for families Genoom.
As per my criteria, Genoom is one of the best projects of the Hispanic Web 2.0. For those who don’t know, it’s an application that allows users to create genealogy trees, and moreover includes functionalities for creating a family social network such as photo albums, private messages, …
Without doubt the news is interesting in itself, but I want to highlight another aspect that has caught my attention. From what I know, this is one of the first cases in which Grupo Intercom invests in a project already operating for some time. What we have normally seen is that GI acts as an incubator for businesses, an entrepreneur presents his idea and the project is developed within the company. But in this case, the intervention of GI is closer to a venture capital fund than a business incubator.
With this I think a range of possibilities open up with respect to investments from a group that is perhaps the most important of all in the Hispanic internet.
Vote for Genoom in Loogic Rank.
