The impact of Neogen on the society is defined by the services they offer and by the way they are used. For example, the fact that thanks to them hundreds of thousands `people get a job each year gives them a great satisfaction.
neogen.ro - Has lately become one of the most visited Romanian portals. "Portal" is a bit overrated, as Neogen offers almost no outbound links to other sites. All services they offer are internal ones, provided by themselves.
An interesting particularity of this site is that none of the services they offer is an example of excellence. Usually, they would rank in 2'nd, 3'rd or 4'th position in the respective segments.

www.neogen.ro They recently launched the new version of their home page and they took the bald decision to anticipate the market and to launch a Web 2.0 portal while in Romania I think we are in Web 0.5 . However its nice features (customizing the content with RSS feeds, modules) can be accessed only as registered and logged in user, but it worth trying it out.
Web 2.0 is a trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to facilitate creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies (the practice of categorizing content through tags). Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the internet.
It never stops surprising them how people can perceive some developments like this, first they were accused that they copied www.live.com, however they launched the portal before that, now the problem seems to be that it's like google.com/ig.
The single thing that is bugging them is, if they are not too early with this kind of service on the market. They have to (and going to) make some improvements on the portal, there is a need of more content for the 1st page without login, and a lot more interesting content should be added for users to choose from. (Apropo content and RSS feeds, I noticed with satisfaction that PRO TV already is using RSS feads for several types of content, hopefully other media sites will follow their lead).
Neogen - expanding in and outside Romania
Neogen is one of the biggest players on the Romanian web (and the biggest in the Web 2.0 market especially). The company has the following services:

- online advertising (Asociati and Publicitate - affiliate programs and Google Adsense like)
- web hosting (Hosting)
- automotive (Auto)
- real estate (Imobiliare)
- internal messaging system for all of the above
Combined, these web properties have 1.8 million registered users in Romania (plus 550,000 in Bulgaria and Serbia) and 3.5 million visitors monthly (according to Trafic.ro, which is the most utilized web stats tracking software from Romania).
Neogen's acquisition spree brought new web properties to the company in Romania: colegi.ro, doizece.ro, resurseumane.ro, Prohost (hosting), Archiweb (stats), Relatii (dating). They have also acquired services in the countries around Romania: Bulgaria - love.bg, Serbia - Poljubac.com and Moldavia - faces.md.
Recently, Neogen received a capital infusion from Tiger Global Investment USA (which has also invested in Yandex.ru, Baidu.com, Mynet.com, Google.com) and Wouwer Holland. This will enable Neogen to expand more of their services. The same funds made a large investment into eJobs, the biggest recruiting site from Romania.
