We’re a small company made up of folks who love putting big data to good use. Our mission is to create spectacular engagement in, and value from, online communities through “smart” apps that learn about you and your interests, your friends, and what you need — right now.
Our current focus is on making enterprises and organizations more effective. Our backgrounds (both Dave’s and Lance’s) have a lot to do with this. From government to private sector, from small to big companies, from private internal collaboration communities to open collective intelligence efforts, there are some common needs we’d like to address.
Online communities using social media are too noisy, there’s too much to track, and are largely filled with irrelevant material. The problem is only getting worse. When people try to use social media to get things done with others — like inside organizations — the problems are magnified. Finding high-quality, relevant people, groups, resources and information takes too long and too much effort. Knowing who or what to trust in a community is too hard. Current community platforms alone do little to help. Instead they force people to use dozens of features to extract value from the community. The result is low and uneven engagement, brittle communities and no measurable value.
We think we can help. Instead of you always pommeling the Internets to find the right stuff you want or need, what if that right stuff was constantly searching for you?
Behind the scenes, we’ve got some pretty interesting technology cooking that works at web scale in real time. We’re tackling a bunch of technical problems in the service of creating a different kind of Web. We’ll be talking about some of that here, as well as how we’re helping different kinds of customers build and wring the most value from communities of purpose.
And we may also occasionally address the topic of Mopeds.
