The GO Vision
Our vision originates from the successful, working model of the AlwaysOn Network(http://www.alwayson-network.com), an online media brand and community of technologyexecutives, but with GoingOn we are creating a new paradigm of online branding,communication, and community with the GO platform. It will empower companies to better connect with their customers, individuals with companies, and companies with their employees. As part of our vision, GoingOn Networks will be contributors to and leaders in thefollowing movements:
•
Open Media.
Participatory media sites and the proliferation of user-generatedcontent are grabbing reader mind share and loyalty away from traditional mediabrands. GoingOn enables media brands and individuals to publish content, engagereaders, build transparent communities, and enhance advertising and subscriptionincome.
•
Open Source.
Building our product on top of Drupal, a leading open source CMSplatform, GoingOn is tapping into an existing and growing community of over 100,000users and developers. For our long-term vision we plan to build a gallery of modulesand templates that Drupal developers can give away or sell to users of the GoingOnplatform. We plan to be an active supporter of Drupal’s open source community andcontribute to its overall ecosystem.
•
Open Web.
The movement towards using the web as a platform for variousapplications and technologies. Led by companies such as Skype, Google, and others,the individual web experience is becoming more open and customizable. GoingOnhas already integrated various services, such as Flickr and del.icio.us, for our users’individual profile pages and will continue to be an active participant and supporter of the Open Web.
Open Marketing.
Across all industries, customers are firmly in the driving seat. Withbrands increasingly under pressure to be more transparent and engaged withcustomers, blogging is empowering brands to have both an offensive and defensivemarketing strategy. GoingOn will be the active thought leader in Open Marketing.
•
Open Management.
As the virtualization of the work force continues to be driven byalways-on technologies, executives will use participatory web sites to identify andbetter manage people, resources, initiatives, and ideas. GoingOn provides a robustsolution for these purposes.
