What does micromobs do?
Micromobs is a web service which allows users to quickly start group discussions. Users can stream multiple groups to one place making them easy to manage.
How are they different?
Most services focus on contacting an individual, but where do you go when you wan to contact a group? Unlike most group services, micromobs believes in getting one thing right–group discussion.
Why could micromobs be BIG?
Micromobs will be big because everyone is a member of multiple groups. The definition of a group is changing from an entity that is permanent to entities that are created for short periods of time (eg. trips, events, volunteering, a college course). Micromobs will be the application that supports these temporary groups by quickly connecting the people within the groups.
How they plan to make money:
The primary source of revenue for micromobs will be through sponsored mobs. Let’s say a group of people are discussing an upcoming trip to las vegas– we will allow brands to sponsor mobs based on topics being discussed within the mob. The secondary source of revenue will be through premium functionality. We will offer customization tools to groups who have additional requirements.
Our thoughts:
No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
