So, What Is Volodex?

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Many people have asked me about Volodex since I bring it up when they also ask me what it is I do with my time.

Here is a simple run down:

1. Do you want to run an ecommerce site selling your own products ( or other peoples )?
2. Do you want to connect with customers that fit your sales demographics?
3. Are you looking for more exposure for your brand or product?
4. Are you looking to keep up with your industry trade shows and conventions?
5. Do you need a simple way to sell products on other social networks?
6. Want an easy way to recruit new employees to your business?
7. Need a recurring billing solution that is stable and secure?
8. Want to make commercials for your business and promote them online?

We have a lot more to offer, but like I said this is a rundown of the things we are looking at for the moment. Oh, did I say it was also FREE and should be ready to test in 8 weeks?

Say goodbye to the the shady web developers that charge an arm and a leg to set up complex ecommerce stores for you or try to push you into some expensive recurring Internet marketing scheme.

This is Volodex. This is “social ecommerce”. You heard it here first.

Somehow I Missed The Local Social Media Gathering

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Man, somehow I was out of the loop on the first ever social media event going on in Louisville.

I could tell that Todd was there and hopefully he didn’t lose a jacket there too like he did at the geek dinner.

I’m not sure why I never seen any promotions for it, but there were several people at the event I would have liked to have met. This includes such names as:

Jason Falls
Shawn Morton
Brian Wallace
The guys at Webpronews
The crew at profilactic.com

Of course it is also good to meet the regular faces I know too if I would have went.

I plan on pimping Volodex soon, as we are about 8 weeks out from an official beta launch. I can’t let the cat out of the bag just yet, but you can find it online if you look hard enough.. though that site and design you might find is our OLD alpha test.

If Your Not At This Geek Dinner, Then Don’t Complain Later

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Its in 4 days people @ 6pm and the lovely Fox and Hound restaurant.

At this count there are over 50+ people coming, so if you can’t find a geek to partner with, shame on you.

Here is the lowdown:

1. Ben Thomas heads this up. He will be presenting awards for the best Star Trek costume, come prepared.

2. Todd Earwood has promised that he WILL be buying drinks for everyone. Come sober, leave drunk.

3. OMG, Cyndi Masters is coming this year. I have never seen her at any IT, web, or geek function ever. I hear she is a party animal! Good times a comin’.

4. Rob May is will be performing the chicken dance and teaching all us geeks how to dance in style.

5. Big Baller Matt Winn will be in attendance. Maybe he can help you geeks get some funding for your AI Lego MindStorms collections.

6. Jason Hiner is an editor at Tech Republic. Maybe he can score us all some nice press for the event and publish the winner of the dance contest headed up by Rob May.

7. Tim Barrett of “No Geek Left Behind” is the default designated driver for the event.

8. Does anyone have an idea of Who Is Kevin?
