 What's up guys EvilD here co-founder of Amikumu. I just wanted to give you all a quick video update on what's happening with Amikumu. You probably just realized I'm speaking in English. Well I've decided to do this video in English because Amikumu has a ton of supporters outside the Esperanto community and I know a few of them have come across to this channel so I just wanted to reach out to them. So first up thanks a lot for helping us get there. Yesterday we smashed obviously our main goal 8,500 euros but then today we also smashed our first stretch goal which was for more efficient and better marketing and now we're heading on to our next stretch goal which is for adding events into the app. So of course keep sharing around, keep sharing for all your friends, Twitter, Facebook, email if you know anyone who's interested in languages and maybe they work at a festival or at a university department or at a school share it with them because it's amazing the places that we are getting support from. I've heard so many different stories of ways people are thinking up how to use Amikumu like things that we didn't even think of and we're like actually you know what that is a great idea that is a great idea like for instance I'm speaking with some travel bloggers at the moment and they could see a really good use for Amikumu for when they're doing their travel blogging so when they're traveling from one country to the next finding people locally who can help them out now I thought you know that's pretty good but then I've heard from other people that said you know they could even be used in a hospital environment if you need to find someone else nearby who speaks a particular language to help out and I was like you know what totally didn't even think about that so it is amazing the amount of ways people are thinking up how to use this app and it's obvious that there is so many applications for it because people are just coming in at a left right and center and just throwing support at us so I absolutely love it I'm sorry if I haven't managed to respond to everyone's comments because it's actually midnight here in Sydney and I'm making this video as kind of a way to just reach out to everyone and say thank you but we are not done yet we are we our goal was 8,500 euros but we got a 20,000 stretch goal so in my eyes we're halfway there let's see if we can get all the way there let's see if we can totally smash it and bring this campaign into the mainstream if we get there and we smash all the way up to that 20k in like I don't know a week imagine that in a week I reckon the newspapers will be all over this mainstream would be all over this especially locally here I could get a ton of local stories happening out of that interest stories I'm sure some of the bigger blogs out there would be really interested in this application so the more that we share this around the bigger it's going to grow the faster it's going to grow and not just that the more useful it's going to be for all you guys because the more people who know about this that means the more people are locally who are going to use the app when it comes out and we all want that don't we so basically that's it there was a few other things I wanted to say but my brain's fried I'm ready to get asleep oh by the way I'm on VK that's for those who don't know that's like the Russian Facebook there's going to be a link down here I'll put a link in so yes that's all I hope you've enjoyed this video if you did give a like share around a few friends sub to my channel if you haven't already and I'll see you all in the next video and if you're not there I will find you and you won't enjoy that Jacob, Jake, James, John, Youp, Jay-Z Knuckles, Lupe, Marguerite Kilpac, Marvin Antz, Matthew Kova, Miguel, Paolo, Rafa, Sarah S.C., Shane Power, the Igor Kai, Tommy Linsley
