The goal of the social network is to create a business center for professionals in the industry to interact, get to know each other, and conduct business without relying on multiple platforms or attendence to conferences to secure deals.  Conferences are great and are a must, nothing beats face to face interaction, but something needs to be in place when there are no conferences scheduled in a timely manner to conduct business deals and partnerships.  Business relationships can be established effectively by using a social network designed for this specific reason.  It is even better when you can mix business with pleasure and share life experiences, photos, videos, plans, and topics of interest.

Will it be successful?  I honestly do not know, it has never been tried before in this industry.  However, the only way to find out is by taking a risk and offering it.  It may fail, and if it does, at least we will know we gave it a shot.  It also may become very successful, only time will tell. 

It may not be MySpace.com or Facebook.com, but it will have many of the same features with a focus of business features programmed.  It will be a work in progress.

We have several of ideas of some business features that should be included.  However, in order to deliver the right stuff that professionals will use and need, we are going to ask you. 

So what business features do you feel need to be incorporated into this social network that will assist you?      

You can reply on the blog or send an email to info (@) simplygeo.com. 

Thanks in advance!
