G'day! Thanks for returning!
It works, folks, it flamin’ works!
The future… web3.0 and stuff.
It works and it’s here now. Today.
I’m fresh back from a demo at a mutual friend’s office. The developers of this kit-and-kaboodle were showing me what they had ‘under the hood’ of their business because we are all part of a consortium of businesses looking to win an exciting contract. More about that when I can.
But the really cool stuff is the ‘under the hood’ stuff that this development company has.
Imagine, if you will:
- Facebook and MySpace done ‘right’ — Web3.0 instead of their current Web1.0-with-clunky-bits-tacked-on
- You can set up your own ‘face/space’ community if you want — imagine a ‘CCFace’ or a ‘DanYorkSpace’ or a ‘TwistImargeBook’
- Somewhere you can be your own online publishing empire and have loads of others contributing content ‘underneath’ you, as it were (think of citizen journalism sites taken to the next level, where they don’t just link to YouTube to show you a video, but automatically wrap it up inside a flash box for you)
- WordPress taken to its logical next-step-plus-one
- A complete online package for online professionals and those who seem to live their lives online (diary, contacts, etc.)
- Pre-written time-scheduled emails sent out to your different mailing lists plus autoresponders and sequential autoresponders that respond to ‘tags’ within emails that come back to you (say you ask a question in an email, the replies that come back can have different email sequences going out, depending on the replies you receive – automatically!)
- The one website where you can blog, have static content, organise the layout to suit you and your readership
- The one website where you can be an intranet, an extranet and an internet site (web3.0 standard) at the same time!
- Total customisation of everything: you name it, you can customise it
- Gorgeous graphics with textual embellishment created automatically (think photos on the Apple site)
- A development team that take any cool suggestion, make it happen and let the rest of their client base in on it too (if you are happy for that to happen). So that if someone else comes up with a cool extension for the kit-and-kaboodle you benefit
- Having the one presence online that can be all of your online activity spots rolled into one, courtesy of Ajax
- You are a power player in the online marketing space and you have a bunch of affiliates around the world selling your products and services online, or referring traffic to you. You can have a platform where you can create some neat (say, Flash) adverts and roll them out instantly across every affiliate’s site
- You are a heavy-hitter in network marketing and you have a team around the world that benefits from your training and development and sales material to draw interested parties to them. Imagine if you created a ‘killer’ advert and had previously tested it and you know it works really well. Imagine how you can roll that advert out for your entire network and they can’t change it (to suit their own peculiar tastes) and ruin the conversion rate!
- All of this from the one website you call ‘home’, hosted on whatever server platform you like
There is soooooo much more!
And I can’t even begin to tell you about the price… we are NOT talking telephone numbers!
The beauty is this stuff is here, now, in loads of different organisations around Australia and is already working a treat. The reason you’ve never heard of it is because the developers have never marketed themselves to the world.
Hopefully that will be changing soon. But until then I can’t say any more except to let you know that Big Kev had nothing on my excitement levels!!
* Big Kev was a very large chap who advertised his supermarket-chain household products on Aussie tv and who’s catchphrase was “I’m excited!”
