Ashland, MA (PRWEB) May 4, 2006 -- For all the people who’ve tried without success to connect with executives, decision makers, VIPs, celebrities or any other hard to reach individual on this planet, Vshake, Inc. will turn the tables with its launch of the company’s first ever beta site, www.vshake.com.
Vshake, short for Virtual Hand Shake, is an online business and social networking system with a twist: It enables users of its site to connect with anyone (directly or via intermediaries), while making money in return for their hard earned rolodex, all the while protecting their privacy, filtering spam and experiencing the entertainment value of Vshake’s viral-by-nature offering.
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. The core idea behind Vshake's model, what makes it novel and profoundly different from online sites offering networking capabilities, is its ability to empower the users of its system to set a different price for each method through which they can be contacted by other people, i.e. users can charge an individual fee for contact via email, a separate fee for contact via chat/IM, a separate fee for contact via phone and so on.
Vshake.com goes live at a time during which many new business and social networking sites have recently flooded the marketplace. However, Vshake fundamentally differentiates itself from competitive sites through its three unique and patented technologies, solving three major problems faced by SNS players currently:
Business/Revenue Model. Vshake’s patented, unique and sustainable Business/Revenue Model is monetary based and incentive driven. Vshake enables users to “put your money where your mouth is” in order to contact someone or be contacted.
Pure Privacy & Authenticity Protection. Vshake solves the major problem users face being bombarded by e-mails, requests for referrals and spam, and protects one’s privacy and authenticity even after a contact between two or more individuals has been established.
Information Visualization. Utilizing the most advanced visualization techniques and algorithms, Vshake maps relationships through its very visual and easy to understand, interactive, GUI (graphical user interface) map. Vshake provides users with a dynamic visual interface that’s fun, exciting and entertaining, enabling Vshake’s users to extract meaningful relationship data and enhance their e-commerce encounter.
It’s Not What You Know, But Who You Know
With a background in computer game development, system/security engineering, technical instruction, e-distance learning and founding multiple startups, Vshake founder Sagi Richberg knows the value of making connections and networking power. His experiences have shown it’s not always a case of what you know, but who you know, in order to propel.
“Vshake is intended to bridge the gap between individuals,” says founder Sagi Richberg. “Be it entrepreneurs looking to secure financing from investors; sales and marketing people hoping to generate high quality leads by reaching C-level executives; up and coming artists/performers trying to break into Hollywood; or people looking to connect with individuals in any industry which may be closed in inner circles. Vshake also allows users to exchange information and share knowledge with one another, rewarding people monetarily for their hard earned contacts. Simply stated, Vshake addresses basic human nature, which is incentive driven, i.e. ‘what's in it for me?’ and we believe that this type of social capital psychology will lead to customer loyalty, retention and appreciation for our business.”
So what are you waiting for? Start shaking, virtually, at www.vshake.com.
