Ovü was recently shown on television in Brazil. Here’s the feedback from my Brazilian reps:

The format of this program “Atualíssima” is a afternoon live daily show hosted by 2 journalists that talk about daily live issues. They did an interesting thing; since Ovu has had a very good media exposure they talked briefly about it and ask for viewers to call or email the tv program in order to find out if they know the project and its purpose. Turns out, a lot of people did!

Now with version 2.5 in the works, I already know which country in which Ovü will make its debut! See more pics on Flickr.
