Next2Friends now brings their suite of real-time solutions to empower other social and niche communities along with the next generation of corporate intranets.
Next2Friends ongoing commitment to vastly broadening the set of people who have access to their world class tools, is fuelled by the huge demand for their services following thier I-Stage Consumer Electronics Association nomination as one of the top new innovative products in 2008, along with being the world’s first vendor to enable BlackBerry Users to broadcast video from their devices in real-time.
“Driving a residual business model which is not solely ad revenue dependant is vital in building a business with a substantial competitive advantage,” commented Roy Shelton, CEO of Next2Friends. Shelton went on to comment “by empowering other niche social communities our technology becomes more accessible to common interest groups which we could not penetrate and will now be built for their individual needs and then run by the community operators, who understand their own unique set of requirements. The benefits to the communities are a lower cost of entry, quicker time to market and a more predictable cost of ownership, which allows the operators to focus on their core business”
