the idea of micro networks was fairly new and while we have been in development the awareness of the possibilities of these types of social tools has increased. The company's income has risen each month since introduction which is a positive signal. However, it is still early days and aside from building the subscription base we have learnt and are learning from our users. This in turn has led us to a better understanding of the market and the direction that SocialGO should take to maximise its appeal. Initially, in line with industry comparisons we focused on how many people had created a 'Free' network. However, although those numbers have continued to climb through the period, we also eschewed the 'advertising income' based model favoured by others to concentrate on Premium subscribing and the sale of Widgets (Apps), Themes, extra modules and bandwidth. We see the 'Free' offering as a marketing promotion, not an income producing product. In that sense it is not relevant to the success of the company nor do we allow many key features of the product in our Free version, preferring to guide the user towards our Premium services and usher away those who are unlikely to ever pay or upgrade.The commercial sense is obvious - too many Web 2.0 companies spend vast amounts of investors' money on servers, bandwidth and customer support, only to get a few crumbs of advertising income generated by a costly free customer base in a bid for the glory of big numbers of users of which only a small number produce any income. I can understand that as this area is so new, many of our shareholders might be curious about the market and try to make metric comparisons to other well known names in the industry. For example, people often ask what the difference is between SocialGO and Facebook or Twitter. There are many differences, but the easiest way to look at it is that SocialGO is in fact a platform and a SaaS (software as a service). To this end it is not in itself a social network, rather it is a tool that allows people to create their own social network, but it also does a range of other things, including acting as a web presence (instead of a normal website for example) and as a way for people to publish their blogs, run forums or even their own marketplace. With the present features and those in the pipeline, this platform will grow more into a commercial tool than something to replicate Facebook and already these micro networks are beginning to be seen as valuable, particularly if they have a membership that is active in a certain niche area. I spent five years living in Silicon Valley building my video games company in the Nineties. I intend to spend more time there promoting SocialGO in the coming months. We have a small office ready to form a bridgehead to the American market which is not only our largest market (already in traffic terms) but also the most mature in the adoption of the idea of micro networking. We need to be among our Web 2.0 (or indeed 3.0) peers and we need access to those people who can help market the product as well as those companies that can help partner with us to spread its reach.
