congratulations to Clarence and the team on the launch - video looks good and highlights some of the extensive work that you have done to the platform in the last few months. I left a comment over at Techcrunch talking about the positive experiences I have had with Cx and in particular how useful I have found the collectivex champions group to be in terms being a group manager. Looking forward to further developments in the platform and happy to be one of the earlier adopters.
Gareth... I noticed your comment on TechCrunch. Thanks. Our platform is beginning to round out nicely. We have a lot more in store and its great to know that loyal users like yourself are here to provide a constant stream of feedback and suggestions. We listen.
I really like that Collectivex has taken a group rather than the individual centric approach. The idea that we would do social networking outside the context of a group (collective) is insane.
Most of the sites like Linkedin, Facebook, MySpace etc (you get where I'm going) only want you to get your friends to join. They want the profiles (the email addresses). They are a best enhanced contact databases....they rarely provide the tools/functionality required to truly network...in fact most do whatever they can to discourage networking..to the point of restricting or deleting accounts.
Facebook has come the furthest trying to provide tools, however, since it has been so focused on a youth/family market it does not serve the business community well. The addition of widgets is great in theory, however, there is so much crap that sites become confusing as to focus and messaging.
The other issue that makes no sense is that INDIVIDUALS spend all their time trying to build connections looking for opportunities. With no context we keep adding contacts, hoping that one of them or one of their contacts might expose an opportunity. However, we are spending 80% of our time adding contacts and with only 20% of the time available to participate in actually getting to know our contacts...then (as mentioned previously) we get reprimanded by the sites claiming they want to facilitate our networking activities.
The group centric approach ensures that people of common mind are able to quickly find each other and get on with working the opportunities.
For those that want to be islands onto themselves...you have lots of Social Networking sits to stroke your egos. For those that really want to explore, network and truly execute opportunites there is CollectiveX.
