E-contratos is a Valencia based company that offers an online platform for the signing of contracts between two parties.

E-contratos has received the financing of Caixa Capital Risc and the support of IMPIVA. It positions itself as the direct competition of Tractis, one of the most valued companies of the new hispanic internet. We don’t know if Tractis has received any financing.

The support of La Caixa to a site like E-contratos could be decisive for the adoption of a service like this by public and private institutions, and maybe this could turn into a competitive advantage over Tractis.

Another aspect to consider is the design and structure of the websites of both these services. E-contratos is more the style of a typical corporate or institutional website (traditional design), while Tractis is much more modern and inspires user participation.

It would be interesting to see which of the two services is able to achieve a market share of more than 50% as Jesus Monleon writes in Blog de emprendedores

I was surprised to find Anywr from the links in the blog of Palermo Valley. It’s a project that had participated in Startup 2.0 and of which I had no idea that it was being started from Argentina.

Anywr is a web and mobile system that seeks to help its users easily manage all their every day information and communications, including their contacts, address book and calendar from anywhere.

Anywr facilitates all those tasks between the PC and the mobile, offering tools to synchronize and back-up data. To know more about its functionalities, I recommend you take the guided tour.

Finally, I would highlight that Anywr is available in 5 languages, and supports its users through a forum and a development blog.

As we stated earlier, of the applications presented in the Madrid Facebook Developer Garage, the one I thought was most interesting was Meet Your Friends developed for eDreams by Demini.

To make a comparison, we could say that Meet Your Friends is a Dopplr within Facebook and with more of a focus towards leisure travel than business travel.

I found it very interesting that upon entering Facebook, eDreams has not limited itself to creating a version of its portal or develop a search application for cheap flights which would be the most basic thing to do, but rather they have stretched to create a well-rounded tool that could be very interesting for travellers and tourists who have Facebook as their preferred social network.

Although the developers of Meet Your Friends are still carrying out some improvements in the application, I think it’s worth giving it a try and check out its integration with Google Maps within Facebook, the community options that it presents, …

Surely we will soon be able to see how well received it is in the Facebook community and whether it goes on to have the kind of success enjoyed by other applications like TripAdvisor.

Sonico is growing a lot. The experience of Fnbox with Flodeo is helping it to turn its social network into a reference in Latin America, and with time, its influence is sure to reach the Iberian peninsula.

With the launch of the portuguese version of Sonico, they have also announced that the number of registered users have crossed the mark of 8 million. Previously we had seen bigger numbers and that was due to the participation of users who utilized the services Cumplealerta (Birthday alert) and Postales (postal cards). Now we know that the number of users registered specifically in Sonico is 8 million and that’s a spectacular growth compared to the 3.6 million registered users in the month of November.

As for the portuguese version of Sonico, the goal is to have a strong entry in Brasil where Orkut is the leader but where Fnbox is also present with services of postal cards and birthday alerts that will help it to go for a rapid expansion.

Twitxr is a new initiative of Albert Martín, founder of Moneytrackin along with his brother Victor who is also an engineer in Fon Labs.

Twitxr is a system of microblogging (Twitter style) which can be used for sending pictures taken with the mobile and these are accompanied by a small descriptive text. Besides, the pictures are geolocalized over Google Maps.

I love everything that is to do with microblogging and a site like Twitxr which combines photography and geolocalization is the ultimate thing. Let’s see if I can take some time out to play with it because I would really like to.

What they need to do now is to improve on the design of the user page as it seems to require some working upon.
