The number of social media companies keep growing.  H2O New Media is just another recent entrant.  H2O Media is based in Dubai and was launched 6 months ago.  To date they have 40 customers across different countries.  Some of these include:  Al Maya Group, Sian, Strawberry PR & Event, CMPI Exhibitions, CSM, Zaman, Euro RSG, the American Business Council to name just a few.

H2O plans to compete with other social media leaders such as Mzinga and Awarness.  Companies whose valuations excess US$300 million.

A main difference between H2O and their competitors is that H2O plans to open source it’s technology, while selling a SAAS based version of its application.

As demonstrated by H2O, the social media market is growing, while the competition is going to continue to get steep.
