webNetwork

Statistics show that internet users spend 35 - 43% of their time on line in Community environments.* 

A webNetwork is a type of community that is uniquely suited to a business web site. It is a "networking" community where members create profiles describing their specialized knowledge and skills as well as post requests for any knowledge and skills they're seeking. Knowledge and skills can be job related, hobby related, or anything at all. These profiles and requests are then easily searchable by all other members.

So, for example, let's say:

Jim, one of your clients, needs to do research on an immigration problem he's having with one of his employees. Susan, another client, had a similar problem and did the research last year. Susan sees Jim's request for help, contacts him and saves him valuable time.

or:

Jill, one of your clients, is planning a trip to the Tampa Bay area and asks the community for advice on where to stay. Frank, a friend of yours, has a sister who owns a time-share there that she wants to rent. Frank sees Jill's question and is able to bring Jill and his sister together.    

webNetwork can be integrated into an existing web site or it can stand alone. It can be hosted by us or by you. For more information about webNetwork, contact:
