Exsila: Migros-Magazine Coverage Crashes Servers
January 9th, 2008 by Remo Uherek
GREAT news for Exsila:
1. Coverage in Migros-Magazine (reach: 2.3 mio readers) crashes servers. Thats the bad news. The good news is: A couple of thousand of new members in one week (now 28’000 and counting).
2. Exsila merges with Tradefarm and gains another 1000 users.
3. Coverage in CASHdaily Podcast. Rouven said in the video that the goal is to reach 100’000 members until the end of 2008.
This makes Exsila to probably the hottest and fastest-growing Web-Startup in Switzerland. Is anyone hotter in the moment?
Cool Idea: Exsila-TV

Congrats to the 20’000 members!
I am one of them (since September 2006) and a very happy one, too. My experiences:
# I’ve swapped 54 items so far.
# I’ve eliminated all my teenager CDs and invested the money in cool DVDs (mainly 24, Lost, Sopranos, O.C. California).
# I didn’t swap any books. I’m afraid of the high postal charges.
# I couldn’t swap some of my very old games and CDs due to weird barcoded that Exsila didn’t recognize.
# I’ve recommended the service to like a million people, although there are some very important features missing and the pace of implementing new features isn’t very fast. But in the end this doesn’t matter as long as the service works perfectly fine and the atmosphere in the community is awesome.
# I still cannot believe that Exsila didn’t internationalize, especially after they’ve received funding. With such a success solely in Switzerland there would be a phenomenal potential worldwide.
Yepnep AG: New Venture of Exsila-Founders
September 30th, 2007 by Remo UherekMy friends Rouven Küng and Reto Bütler are doing it again. After Küng & Bütler Solutions GmbH, Osuru GmbH and Exsila AG they incorporated Yepnep AG (see public register).
It seems to be the same concept YesNoMayB.com has, but since the one posting on Techcrunch last year I haven’t heard anything else from the south-african startup. Here is a visualisation (you can see the "Techcrunch-effect" VERY well ;-)
Anyways, Rouven and Reto seem to be pretty serious about Yepnep, since they start with a joint stock company. Plus the name seems to be very cool and suits perfect: Yep = thumbs up, Nep = thumbs down –> it’s so simple, I love it :-)
Good luck you two with your new venture!
