Random CrossLoop Sighting in the Swiss Alps!

I am sure many of you know Dmitry – I’m sure that if you’re reading this blog you have at least exchanged a few emails with him at some point. Dmitry spent a good part of this past summer in Switzerland.  A truly unique story happened to him in the middle of Geneva which we wanted to share with you. I’ll pass the “keyboard” over to Dmitry to have him tell you himself…

Hey all! Dmitry at keyboard… back in U.S. and loooving it! I have just finished telling the story to the team, and was very much excited to share it with all of our fellow crossloopers!

Grocery stores in Geneva close very early – usually around 6pm. So all grocery shopping needs to be done either before work in the morning or right after work. One of the days I was standing in line at a grocery store to check out, and happened to notice a random guy in front of me with a “Think Geek” T-shirt. “Very interesting” I thought… My French is practically non-existent,  I started a conversation with him by a casual: “Se va?” (How are you?). He spoke english, we started chatting – turns out he is in IT industry, moved to Geneva from Canada, and has been a HUGE Crossloop supporter for close to 1.5 years now! He was beyond excited to meet me of course, he has told me that he has been trying to spread the word in Switzerland amongst his buddies, but “screen sharing” is not as popular there right now. He uses Crossloop to make some money on the side currently, but mostly just helps his family and friends. Imagine, meeting a random stranger at a supermarket, in the middle of Geneva, who happens to be a die hard fanatic of Crossloop and has been trying to promote us! Gave me that warm feeling inside that we must be doing something right!

To finish the story – a few weeks later, I was talking to building IT managers at the foyer (dorm) I was staying at in Geneva.  What do you think – yes they use Crossloop as well to do troubleshooting of the network issues! I was so truly amazed by these two encounters this summer that I absolutely HAD to share it with all you fellow crossloopers!

Signing off here, and passing the keyboard to Mrinal to do the finishing touches on the post… Good afternooooon & (mrinal take over now)

The alps was to create a dramatic imagination for a very small and big incident - a classic where the adrenaline rush is at one of the highest for us. We are a small company and in a world of about 6B people (and 2B personal computers) what is the probability of adventitiously meeting not one across the Atlantic, but two who already know your company and product.

Stories like these drive us everyday and Dmitry's definitely made for a fantastic summer for us - we had to share this with all of you. Thank you all for doing what you do to support us.

Does he get another trip to Switzerland to collect more such stories? uh no - I think we need diversity and a different perspective so I am going to try.

Good Luck!
