Isin bizimle ilgili tarafi RockYou… RockYou’nun kurucusu Jia Shen’le oturup sohbet etme firsatim oldu. Orada kendisine Turkiye pazariyla ilgili ne dusundugunu sordum. Birilerini satin almak isterler mi diye de sordum. Gordugum kadariyla bunu hic dusunmemisti; cunku cok cool ve hizli konusan birisi olmasina ragmen ilk defa bu soruda bir durdu, dusundu falan. Sonra dedi ki, su anda Turkiye pazarini dusunmuyoruz ama olursa ilk Ispanyolca konusan pazarlarla ilgili bir gelismeler olur.

Gizlilik anlasmalarindan dolayi konusamiyorum ama, Turkiye pazariyla ilgili guzel haberler bekleyin onumuzdeki gunlerde. RockYou olmasa da Turkiye degerli bir pazar ne de olsa.
