Socially Branded

We wanted to give all of our followers and readers a quick update.

First, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has registered for a beta invite. We have been overwhelmed by the interest and have had substantial registrations and have not really promoted it.

Thanks to all of our readers for sharing the word with their friends via facebook, twitter, their blogs, etc… It is greatly appreciated!

The public portion of our site is 95% completed and effectively ready to launch. But the challenge here is the back end and without going into great geeky detail; that back end is crucial to user experience and value that people will derive from the site. This means we still need to invest some additional time in development to ensure that we show the world the best possible experience from day 1.

You will be glad to know that we have actually enhanced the level of fun and we are sure users will find it worth the wait. We are also working on some widgets for our facebook and blogging friends.

That is all we have for now. Again, thanks for your understanding as we invest to make the site as useful as possible before we open it up to the beta testers.

Cheers!

You can request your beta invite

Thanks for your continued feedback and help spreading the word; it is very much appreciated.

We have been working hard on getting the site live. We have had it working in alpha mode for about a month and want to make sure that it has some specific features before we launch it publicly. However, we just can’t help ourselves and decided to share a screen shot of the alpha version of Sociallybranded.

Please tell us what you think and what you think it does by looking at the screen shot. We are curious what people’s first impression is.

We have been hard at work on the stuff that is under the hood; but our design team has finally finalized the SociallyBranded logo. We are still working on the rest of the brand identity such as the mandatory tagline that conveys what we do and the value of that in 1 concise sentence. We want people to “get it” instantly.

Part of understanding what we do needs to be visually conveyed so that people will see the value immediate. Early user input has been fairly positive. We still have a long way to go. But we think it will be worth the wait.

Simple is very hard. Please tell us what you think of the logo. Good, fair, not so good or ugly… we can take the feedback.

We will be allowing early beta testers into the service in the near future. We will be creating a wait list that you can submit to for a beta invite.

We are a new startup that aims to change quite a bit surrounding conversational transparency and how people interact around topics, brands, products and services. The site will have multiple social components presented in a way that is very unique. We will elaborate more details as we roll out some features to a limited group of alpha users.

We are aiming to become a disruptive technology that gives users a voice and exposes what people are saying and sharing about companies, products, services and brands online. How are brands becoming socially branded?…

We have the coding elves in the garage hacking away. So please stay tuned and tell your friends to put us on their radar. The coding elves on the team will appreciate it.
