Opera - browser company and dating service extraordinaire

, , ,

It struck me this morning that Opera is now in the dating service business. Dan won our NYC Times Square competition because of his cute story about having met this girl through Opera IRC. Sparks flew across cyberspace, and he wanted to win our competition so that he could meet the girl in NYC.

Not only did Opera provide the channel through which they met. We also provided the topics for their conversation (Opera). And now we are flying them to a foreign country on a holiday so they can meet. And we pay for their hotel. That's where they are now. Let's hope they're not talking about Opera anymore... And some time from now, who knows? Too bad the name Opera Mini is already taken :D !

You can follow the developments as they unfold in Dan's blog

Honoring our users in Times Square!

, , ,

It's been a great anniversary year for us, and we've been talking a lot internally about how to finish it off with a bang. We want to thank all our millions of users, because that's really why we are here. So, we've rented advertising space on the biggest outdoor screen in the world - the ABC SuperSign in Times Square, New York! And we're flying two lucky Opera users to NYC where they will attend ABC's New Year's Party! Read more about it here.
