I built a social networking company, CrowdVine, that lets anyone create a social network in a matter of minutes. We`re getting ready to launch a secondary product built on top of it, Social Networks for Conferences.

http://www.crowdvine.com/conferences/

When you add a social network to a conference you add an incredible opportunity for the attendees to build professional relationships and networks at your event. We`ve tested the software at ten conferences so far, and the response has been consistently great.

Now we want to turn it into a product with a clear story. Unfortunately marketing isn`t our strong point (we`re two people with software engineering backgrounds). Design is a bit of a challenge also. We had a professional designer for our last product, but I did this one myself.

My questions for the SUN community are:
Does it appeal visually?
Does the product make sense? Do you understand what to do if you want to add a network to your conference?

Tony,
 
The concept is definitely intriguing and it is visually appealing. I think I enter a conference name and hit "start" to get started?
 
Seriously, I am a rookie in this area and would like to know more but I need a visual and I think a lot of people are this way. Maybe a guided tour?
 
I think you are on to something there, though - good luck!

Sandra, thanks for the feedback. We have two services and I think that`s confusing. We have a simple self-service option for conferences with limited budgets who want to try something simple, and we have a full-featured service where we do the site setup, customize it to look like the existing conference site, and provide a community manager to build the online community before the conference.

For the site  http://www.crowdvine.com/conferences/, the expert Professor loves the site service and gives his signature of three smiles out of four smiles for having testimonials and a trendy cult following and two smiles for positioning and differentiating. Two smiles for tapping into your target market. And three smiles for showing lively conference pictures, benefits, testimonials, guaranteed availability, notoriety, capabilities, target market, results, research practices, professionals targeted, reliability, dependability, professionalism, simplicity, expertise, specializing, value, and training support, etc. One smile not given because your company doesn’t look advanced and mainstream, neither PR driven or loud in terms of drawing publicity attention, nor real purpose.

 

 http://www.crowdvine.com/conferences/ gets an all around three smiles out of four, because of not being publicity driven to spread mainstream where you can grow on audiences and become more advanced. In the mean time you’re to ma and pa but as an expert I’ll show you how your competitors went main stream, so you won’t lack the resources to advance and keep up with the competition before they find out about your success and shut you down.
