Marie-Ève Morasse was the first one to cover "Praized the business and the entrepeneurs" last april... We met her in SF and she wrote a nice (small part of an) article about us then [1]. We wanted to offer her a follow up to that story because of that, we respect the fact she was first with seeing our potential and digging a bit deeper, before anyone else, traditionnal or new media. As to why it was published in Cyberpresse, well from our perspective, an internet startup getting 1M$ is news in Montreal but not elsewhere... When we will have significant news and really important things to announce, you can bet that the blogosphere and socialmediasphere will be buzzing way before traditional media... give us a few months!

So they put a reporter on the story. Most of the time, when a company gets funding, the VC fund expects some kind of press release and media coverage Now I have no clue why it was cyberpresse. Praized is targeting english-speaking users and it doesn't make sense to talk about it in Cyberpresse. Denis,

Now I have no clue why it was cyberpresse. Praized is targeting english-speaking users and it doesn’t make sense to talk about it in Cyberpresse.

I was casually browsing when I saw that news. Even the Praized blog didn't mention about it. Mass media can still be surprisingly quick and I almost feel ashamed that the bloggers didn't get it first :) Once again, good luck to the Praized team. It shows that a lot of work never goes unnoticed! Heri,
