Social Network
OurSocieties is not just a Social Network
OurSocieties is not just Social Voting
OurSocieties is something New!
We’re working on something. Something big. No, it’s not another Digg clone. It’s a transcendence. Something different. Something new. It is the culmination of months of work by a well-qualified group of people dedicated to making the ultimate social media and social networking site.
As alluded to once before, we are building a social hybrid. Imagine:
* Digg, Reddit, or any of the other social media sites that is designed by the users.
* One that is designed from the ground up with the intentions of making a fair and robust promotion system with the features that people have been asking for.
* A front page with news that is still new enough to be breaking.
* Content that is promoted based upon quality and merit, regardless of how many friends someone has accumulated or how often the user has been on the front page lately.
Next, look at social networking. Imagine:
* Facebook or MySpace built with today’s and tomorrow’s technology and functionality.
* Real networking with masses of people that is separate from networking with true friends and relatives.
* A network that removes the annoyances, the silly junior high flirt techniques, the MLM scams, and the invasion of privacy.
Now, imagine a site that combined both - social media that TRULY meets social networking. Imagine:
* Having the choice to be as active as you want without penalty - participate in the network or not, engage with the media aspect or not.
* Being able to blog from one spot, then submit it to the masses from the same spot.
* Many different aspects and uses of the Internet accessible from a single location.
* Do you use search engines? Twitter or Pownce? Do you use IM? What about file storage and sharing? Order a pizza, buy a movie ticket, research a vehicle, or research a topic — all from one starting point.
Finally, imagine having your choice of advertisers. That’s right, advertisers. What if you could choose which companies you want displayed on your pages and which ones you don’t want to see. If the users choose their advertisers and the advertisers only pay when they are chosen, it eliminates the need to track user data. This part needs to be stressed:
A networking site that gives the users their choice of advertisers would eliminate the need to TRACK USER DATA.
Who you are and what you do is your business. We don’t want to know.
Imagine…
Web 3.0. A Social Hybrid. We have the plan. We have the right people in place. We have the research, the sweat, and a burning desire to offer something to the people that matches what they want.
