DISQUS

Hi there Nic
This is not a comment but I have been reading back thru your blog articles with great interest.
I would like to contact you but I dont see any other way on this blog than thru the comments box so please excuse me for doing this.
I am not sure whether you have looked at and registered at exiva.com but the article above really took my attention and in a way emphasised what I am tryiing to achieve with exiva- namely penetrate a market that is aware of social networks but belive that they are purely for the younger generation.
And besides, social network is still the wrong term for exiva. Its like your first page you read when you click on the internet- to see whos been doing waht with their digital lives. A bit like Star trek- in the future, a control panel where you can catch up with video calls or other news- all relayed thru either a pc or a mobile interface.
exiva.com at the moment is purely a very simple interface to prove that I can at least get a product up and running. What I need now is hard cash to develop and nurture it over the next 12-18 months.
In your experience of the industry, do you know of anyone who might be interested in a slightly longer play?
Once again, apologies for hijacking the comments facility,
regards
Nick

It may well come down to a founders' personality in launching the business as it will be he or she that is taking the product out on the road and show casing. Ultimately, though, it is the quality of design of the product, the ease of use and what the site is offering as valuable content that will decide whether it has a future. No website can be static- it is evolving and dynamic and has to learn to understand its users and their requirements.
