hiogi has only been participating in the founders marketplace of the Financial Times Germany for a couple of days and many of you have already left ratings and comments für hiogi. Thanks so much! Now the FTD has made us the founder of the week. We are very happy and thankful about this reward.

Yesterday night Chris and I spent a fabulous evening on the eco Gala celebrating our eco Internet Award Mobile 2008. About 250 companies applied for this well-known award. The jury highlighted our modular, scalable and multilingual technology that enables any company to use hiogi as a white-label or partner solution. Also, it was mentioned that the internet is flooded by information and that it will be hard for mobile phone users to find relevant information in the future. The hiogi community compresses all this knowledge into 140 digits.
Check out the pics from yesterday.
For the TechCrunch event we are offering any international mobile phone owners a special: Ask hiogi anything you need to know for free. Text your questions to this “secret” SMS number: +49 176 888 66 000
The hiogi-Community is waiting for your challenging questions! What do you need to know? Travel tipps, restaurant adresses, taxi numbers, insider tipps, soccer scores, world records, wikipedia infos, compressed google search results, personal advice, philosophical answers.everywhere. 
Dear hiogis,
we built a new hiogi ticker for you that now runs as a Yahoo! Widget. Download the platform independent widget and stay informed in real-time about any new question that reaches both the English-speaking hiogi.com site or the German site. New questions will be shown on the lower right screen corner as a bubble and you can directly click any interesting question.
This is how it works:
1. Download Yahoo! Widgets. More Infos… or choose one of these two download links:
2. Download this file: hiogi_en.widget
3. Start Yahoo! Widgets and choose “Open Widget…” from the menue and choose the file “hiogi_en.widget” from where you saved it. Voilá!

hiogi is a project sponsor of betterplace.org and now donated another 120 EUR to a project in Leipzig after finishing one month of charity HELP SMS questions, where every German hiogi user would donate the margin of the 39 Cent SMS question to the 44044. The money will be used to purchase books and learning equipment for poor children of that region. hiogi already supported the betterplace foundation with a 500 EUR donation before.
More about the betterplace project.
hiogi will be an official sponsor of the TechCrunch/CrunchGear meetup in Berlin and will present exiting news on that day. Stay tuned or show up at the event in our hometone / in the most exiting city in Germany on 11th June 2008 and meet exiting start-ups and hosts:

Hello world, 
hiogi is the world’s first knowledge-community that answers any mobile question and we launched our English-speaking rest-of-the-world-site under www.hiogi.com yesterday night. Now everybody can register with hiogi for free and participate in the most innovative wireless knowledge exchange, no matter if you are from the US, UK, AT, CH, FR, IT, ES or anywhere else…
For international hiogis we offer the following ways of asking a question while you are travelling and/or while you are away from your PC:
Currently the questions, on both the German and English-speaking hiogi-site, are still being mixed, but we will change this as soon as it gets too confusing. Also for the time being, we offer monthly prices, like hotel or gift certificates that can only be redeemed here in Germany, but we will also change this in the future.
We welcome hiogis with any nationalities and any wireless question in English you might have. “I help you today and you help me tomorrow” that is the principle of our community. Only hiogis can send you insider-tipps, experiences, compressed search-results and infinite knowledge about any topic directly to your mobile phone.
