ICERI 2009: International Conference of Education, Research and Innovation
We’re not interested in a new software development. Our goal is to help people in a more enjoyable, efficient and productive communication.

• Key Concepts
1. Partnership with universities.
2. Exclusivity and actual user profiles.
3. Voice equals value.
4. Mini-apps (Mentor Programme, mercadillo, etc)
5. Production and recovery of pieces
of information (post-it style).

Primary business model
1. Contextual publicity in the user’s personal
page. Marketers will buy advertizing
packages and they themselves
will upload ads in an accessible, simple
and dynamic upload system.

¿How to monetize a closed social network for mobile devices?
• Targeting and exclusivity in shaping
the network.
• Minimum cost of development. Outsourcing and shared staff.
BUT...

• Right now...
REVENUE IS A DISTRACTION
We need create a big and targeted community
