In 8 Minutes SocialSimple Personalize Your Web Through Social Networking

Introduction

Concept to Production Online users are demanding a seamless online personal experience with relevant information and a high-quality experience focused on convenience and satisfaction. Majority of web development in corporations are either in IT focused on technologies and infrastructure or in Marketing focused on sales and promotions. Few companies make the needed investment to offer a personalized online experience to their visitors as most priorities are to break-fix projects. Delivering a personalized experience is my passion and has been a struggle throughout the early to offer a high-quality experience. SocialSimple is a platform to help enables companies and general websites know specific (user provided) information of their visitors, before the page loads, so the web designer and web developers can dynamically generate a truly personalize online experience. Angel investment raised to start SocialSimple development (Golozo, LLC).

From Corporate America Recent experience as a Director of Enterprise Web for one of the largest corporations in the world with responsibilities to streamline the web technologies and processes. After a web audit, for just one of the 930+ subsidiaries we found… –102 Websites –77 Logins – Single Sign-On took care of only 15 logins –39 Searches –16 Statistics Estimated costs to streamline web technologies and processes were $4+ Million and a 1½ years effort. I noticed within the social networking industry, I also have several logins to different websites with different place to search. My social profile data (mostly public) can be used as a valuable tool to enable websites the ability to offer me a personalized experience!

Traditional Online Marketing Traditional online marketing focuses on statistics and averages. If 10,000 visitors see a banner ad (impressions), 200 would click-thru, and 40 would potentially buy.

Personalized Marketing When a website delivers an online experience that is tailored to my specific interests and needs there is without question a high potential for me to keep engaged with the website and a return visit. My social networking profiles offer websites the ability to more easily know who I am and to deliver relevant content.

Closing SocialSimple is not another social networking website, all social networking activities are on the other websites (MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, etc.). SocialSimple is an initiative and service to help enable websites, large and small, the ability to easily offer their online users a personalized user experience with relevant and targeted information. Change the web, not to control it. –Make it standard to offer personalized content throughout the web. –More social networking websites need to also incorporate more API hooks to updates profile data, not just a read-only feed.
