Shortly after buying Bebo from AOL (NYSE: AOL), Criterion Capital Partners managing partner Adam Levin told us that the social network would be “staffing up” and that’s indeed what it’s doing. Bebo has hired Akash Garg, a co-founder and former CTO of social network Hi5, as its new CTO, and Aren Sandersen, a former director of engineering at classified site Oodle, as VP of operations.
In a short interview, Garg, who left Hi5 last summer, said he had been working with Sandersen on “some startup ideas” prior to deciding to join Bebo — and that he was now thinking of Bebo “as a startup.”
“We’re [going to be] working super fast on new features and iterations,” he said. Levin outlined some of the areas that Bebo was planning to concentrate on — including mobile — in this interview with my colleague Robert Andrews last month.
i have been a member of bebo since January 2008. In June with rumors of selling bebo users information i hesitated but did delete my account. Since the start of August i have contacted bebo in many ways including “contact us” backstage bebo moderators and even e-mail to get my account back. I was told it would be sorted during the weekend last by one of the moderators. I have heard nothing since 26th July. I feel bebo should offer a way to re-activate profiles for users so not to be waiting for bebo to do it . I’m defiantly not happy with bebo customer service
It clearly says you cant get a deleted account back on the Account Cancelation page. You should of read that before deleting!
ya but they also don’t mind activating accounts. If you go to the contact us page which i did the is a link get back my account. My friend re activated hers before which gave me the idea, but apparently bebo don’t have a support team at the moment due to a office move but I’m not to pushed anymore i’m happy with faebook :)
