Meet the GeekVolution Network!
- 1 Comments
The world can no longer deny the usefulness and entertainment inherent in social
networks, but neither can it deny that most social networks are lacking in one respect or
another. Profiles are either completely boilerplate but easy to use, or they are so
graphically overrun that they lose their functionality and readability. And so many people
have flocked to these networks that finding like-minded people to connect with can be a
daunting task. That is why the Geeks of the world can count themselves lucky. The next
generation of social networks, designed just for them, has arrived on the scene with the
private beta launch of Geekvolution.com.
Geekvolution.com was created specifically for members who are passionately geeky
about any topic to connect, discuss, and express their interests on a highly functional,
intensely graphic interface. The site was built around three main concepts that are
intended to provide its members with a more fulfilling networking experience: enhanced
user-friendliness, increased expression, and empowerment of its member base.
The people at Geekvolution.com have increased user-friendliness by simplifying and
streamlining personal member profiles. Members control the image they want to present
to the world with customizable profile questions and drag-and-drop technology that
makes adding photos and backgrounds a breeze. And sharing digital media, such as
artwork, photos and illustrations can be done in mere moments via a personalized
contribution network. Members can also give kudos to their fellow members by
incorporating these designs into their own profiles. With less page-scrolling and fewer
page loads, members will finally be able to truly spend their time networking with likeminded
individuals.
Geekvolution.com went to great lengths to build a clean interface and create a websitewide
look and feel that brings networking to the next level. The site is built on Adobe
Flex 3 technology making it a Rich Internet application. What that means for
Geekvolution.com?s members is a level of graphic intensity that does for the internet
what HDTV has done for cable. While there are other social networks that allow for the
incorporation of a variety of wild backgrounds, that kind of customization has often made
the text on personal profiles unreadable for those browsing them. On Geekvolution.com,
individuals can control the intensity of the backgrounds on profiles they are browsing,
and if a background proves too distracting, it can be turned off altogether. This kind of
attention to detail is one of the many reasons Geekvolution.com offers a networking
experience like none other.
Geekvolution.com also realizes that their network is really the property of its members.
That is why they work hand-in-hand with its users to add features and improve content.
The feedback of its members is the lifeblood of the site, and two-way communication is
openly encouraged.
The site is privately beta testing with select members, but interested Geeks can visit the
homepage at www.geekvolution.com to request an invitation to join. The homepage also
includes a twitter feed
