What does Shortbord do?
Currently, the only way for people to promote their favorite things online is through spamming their networks with messages hoping to drive friends, family and followers to do something. We’ve all received these kinds of messages promoting causes, good deals, events and more. But what if there was a better way to build awareness and drive people to action?
Shortbord’s brand icons can go anywhere you post content, thus enabling you to build awareness for your cause within your networks as well as to the web at large. Its simple, effective and most importantly, fun.
How are they different?
A picture is worth 1,000 words. The social web is a big conversation, and through Shortbord, people are able to promote anything they want without changing the conversation. This is not annoying and most importantly, its not spam!
Why could Shortbord be BIG?
People are bombarded with spammy communications promoting causes. Shortbord solves that widely problematic issue.
How they plan to make money:
Advertisers can currently purchase placements across their inventory – buying spots to put their messages in front of engaged, peer-to-peer communications.
Our thoughts:
No thoughts at the moment. Very interesting!
