Web 2.0 Ireland

Wubud - mobile social network start-up - founded by serial entrepreneur Paul Walsh - has just announced its initial Angel round - from Paul Birch [of Bebo Fame].

We’ve been aware of Wubud for a while - and industry feedback is very positive on the product from this very secretive satrtup.

Given the level of Irish activity @ mobile sector - Wubud is a welcome development [and no doubt Paul will be setting up his European HQ in Wexford] - as it looks to target consumers directly and in-directly - and avoid the network operator purchasing cycles.
