My good friend Timo Ewalds was mentioned as one of Alberta’s 50 Most Influential People by Alberta Venture this week.

Nexopia Creator
MySpace? My wha’? Facebook? So over it. If you have a teenager, chances are they’ve drifted from other social networking sites to Nexopia.com. Since its launch six years ago, more than 1.2 million 14- to 20-year-olds have made the switch. Oh, and did we mention founder Ewalds started developing Nexopia.com while he was still in an Edmonton high school? Early this year the site received a multimillion- dollar injection from Hubert Burda Media, one of Germany’s largest media companies, which was, like, so cool.
I’ve known Timo since late 2003, a few months after he started Nexopia. A big congrats to your success, Timo!
