Market Opportunity

According to a recent study performed by Forrester Research, Instant Messaging & Photo Sharing are two of the most popular uses of computers on the Internet, with approximately 50M adult users in the U.S. alone (this number does not include young teens who are also major users of these features). Various sources, including Forrester, cite social networks and blogging as two of the fastest growing technologies on the Internet.

Demo Says

"Combine social networks, peer-to-peer file sharing, VPNs, search functionality, and instant messaging and you start to get a sense of what iMeem delivers. But iMeem is anything but a slapped together patchwork of functionality. This elegant application for communicating and sharing recognizes that the most effective social networks are really tight-knit communities of trust. iMean provides a platform to enable these communities to work together effectively in an environment that is private and secure. The security model alone is reason for many workgroups to adopt this platform for instant collaboration."
