Product Description
Buzka POPNets are hosted web applications, businesses integrate with their website to help customers build social networks focused on finding and sharing product-related information and experiences. Unlike other social network applications the POPNet interface is customized to incorporate the sponsors branding, and presents the information consumers share as a structured and branded website. POPNets build consumer loyalty and market penetration by creating branded social networking and viral marketing applications.
Market Opportunity
Nielsen reports “the recommendation of someone else remains the most trusted source of information when consumers decide which products and services to buy”. Buzka POPNets will compete in the multi-billion-dollar online advertising markets by offering a product that leverages the power of social networking in consumer purchasing decisions.
DEMO Says
Buzka blends the right mix of technology and user-generated content to create a powerful human-powered search tool. The annotated link collections gain or lose ranking based on community engagement with the content. This user-engagement model should provide for a more powerful – and more profitable – advertising environment because ads are shown in the viewer’s context.
