Dutch serial entrepreneur Mathys van Abbe will be launching his third start-up Spot2.be in a couple of weeks. Spot2.be is a tiny URL-service for locations, an easy way to let your friends know where you are having dinner or where your party is located. Or you can share a spot for a cinema, finding its name and address and additionally pointing out restaurants nearby the location. Banks can place their ATMs on the spots or locations of parking lots can be found. Unlike Google Maps with its very long links that are difficult to text via a mobile, Spot2.be provides a nice and easy-to-use product for small information exchanges. Mathys van Abbe plans to have about five million URLs in a year with Spot2.be. The service is free but if you want to claim your spot for business purpose, a small annual fee has to be paid.
Mathys van Abbes other businesses are mobypicture.com, which sends mobile pictures via social websites to your friends and thus lets you share your adventures instantly and startpix.com, an online desktop application which visualizes all the links you collect. Tiburon-TVs Viktoria Trosien interviewed Mathys van Abbe both about mobypicture and startpix.
