Passover and other stuff...

It is a holiday season here in Israel (Passover), so most things are going slow since everyone (including myself) are on vacation. Nothing exciting to report so this post won't be long.

One event worth mentioning is the Israeli Games 2007 conference which is about to take place this Wednesday (April 11th). There's a great lineup of speakers, so if you're interested in the gaming space and in the Israeli gaming industry - it's the place to be. There's a lot going on nowadays in this industry in Israel (you can read my previous post on that subject).

Anyway the whole vacation thing actually works in our advantage here in GamearraY, since our recently launched mobile user generated games portal with Orange Israel is getting a lot of traffic throughout all the hours of the day (and not just int he after school hours, as there's no school...). Conversion to paid downloads is also great and exceeds our expectations, and we are thinking forwards about replicating this model to other countries and other operators.

Anyway that's all for now - see you after the holidays!

P.S. - If you don't recognize the weird object in the image above, then you are truly blessed... What looks like some kind of a wallpaper is actually edible (in the broader definition of "edible"). It is called a "Matza" and it is a special "bread" (Again, broader definition...) that is eaten in the week of Passover...
