Succes? Erepublik has continually declined through the past year to the point where even loyal paying players are deciding against further gold purchasing because it is pointless. The game has absolutely no development except for new features that require people to spend even more gold to continue to progress, and the overall population in the game is strongly declining, with the retention of new players at an all time low due to the hefty investment required to get started, not to mention that a new player will never be able to get on par with an old player in terms of strength.

Hi Natasha,
as you mentioned BrandEmbassy, there has been a rather silent launch of its less known Czech competitor product (or rather a relaunch, since they just showed a new version): BuzzBoot. It does not look that fancy, but it has a very solid coverage of local social media sources and is about to expand to other countries too. Seems social media monitoring is indeed a hot topic in CEE (Pavel Čurda knows best).

Interesting review of startup scene. But, since you mentioned Ivo Spigel, you should mentioned some of Croatian startups as well. Like Farmeron, Shout Em, or Salespod. I know it is impossible to mention all interesting companies, but…
