I am proud to announce the pre-launch of Softicator.com (soon to be a .ro), Romanian software directory like no other.

Softicator will promote romanian software - be it desktop application, webapp, script, of all categories - from currency converters to ERPs, and under all licensing models - from commercial to open source.

It will be web2.0 all the way, with

  • tags
  • user comments
  • user ratings
  • rss feeds from all over the place
  • free basic service
  • not to mention gradients and an arial rounded logo :)

We plan on doing big things for the Romanian software market, including a secret weapon we’ll launch once we’re all settled. With an initial ad-generated revenue model, we wish to improve our karma and drag out into the light all the geeks writing apps and scripts in their lairs. Oh, and we’ll target corporate people with CRMs also…

I say “we”, since I’m the initiator and co-founder of the project along with a gang of cool geeks you’ll meet on the softicator blog. Till then, keep in touch with our capture tool on www.softicator.com
