Eegoes advocates a new approach to social media.
BOSTON, eegoes, a new social network, has just announced its success securing its second funding of a million dollars in order to complete the development of its portal, eegoes.com.
eegoes advocates a new approach to social media. Whilst other social networks continue to develop more complex integrations and further functionality for users who are already facing information overload, here, users are offered a more 'back to basics' approach on social networking.
Offering advanced networking features, but through the use of a more simplified, user-friendly interface, eegoes enables its community members to exchange information with discussions themed around their areas of interest.
The portal allow users to find like-minded people to share things with quickly and easily. Members are currently sharing links, videos, pictures and events in real time with the latest web technologies including geo-location. This approach, contrary to many social networks, is 'content-led' rather than 'individual-led', but in a far more organised environment than other platforms currently available.
This second funding initiative was called in order to enable the company to complete development of its mobile smartphone functionality, considered key as so much social network activity is now enabled through mobile devices and will also enable the company to increase visibility through advertising and marketing projects.
The successful financing of $1,000,000 was made possible with the involvement of Projectra Ltd represented by Frederick Igbinedion, GTA Capital SA represented by Christophe Couasse and Rainbow Holding company LLC.
Talking about eegoes, Mr. Couasse says: "Even though the actual product is already very appealing and provides an excellent social experience, the planned functionality and aims of this network are truly groundbreaking and will provide a whole new experience of social networking."
Al Zane, CEO and co-founder of eegoes, is very pleased with the outcome. "For us, the aim of this funding was to enable us to further strengthen our structure and team in order to accelerate our development as well as begin putting our communication strategy in place for eegoes. We have now secured the necessary means to achieve this.
About eegoes: eegoes.com is a new social networking site, whose aim is to provide a user-friendly and innovative platform for social interaction.
