subject: The 25th Hour [print this page] At the moment, with the current development of technology and especially Internet, its getting rather difficult to imagine what else can be invented and given to the modern user, who is already spoilt with all these innovations to the extent of being tired of them. Still developers are bending over backwards to think of something new that would attract your attention, and not necessarily those applications or web resources are useful and nice to work with.
Having decided to try our luck in the sphere of Internet business and having read practically all the stories of success of establishment of such great Internet projects, as, say, Google, eBay, Amazon, Alibaba, etc., we tried to understand the gist of their success. At this point it was all clear all those projects took their niche on appearance in the market, for apart from commercial side, their projects did really interest people. And now these sites are used almost all over the world.
So we started looking for an idea of the project, which would be very useful and win the affection of even the most capricious users. It didnt take long to appear. Once, surfing the Internet and observing Internet resources, we decided to follow the algorithm of a user, who needs to purchase something in the Internet.
The result was the following: the first thing most users do is google the products they need and, having got a good deal of e-stores, which have the product they need, they follow the link and start searching it there, because as a rule they will see lots of ads and offers of analogous products. (By the way the first two links in Google are Amazon and eBay, though they do not necessarily have the best offer on the Internet). So, it appears that the process of purchasing products over the Internet doesnt seem so ideal and perfect, as we could imagine.
So our objective became to improve this process and to minimize users efforts.
This is how an idea of a solution appeared. It is a button that should be placed in the window of your messenger, or in the social network, and in perspective, in any place youd like to have it, and when you need it, it should transform your text in the textbox you use for talking, into the request, which is to be sent to appropriate e-stores and companies. All just by one click! And the best thing about it is that youve got nothing more to do you dont have to look for a seller, specify the name and model of the product and so on. You just have to wait for sellers to find you themselves. The name of the button came to mind per se Click&Get 3 words opening the whole meaning of clicking it.
As we developed this idea further, we understood the difficulty of implementing it and came to a conclusion that one site will not do the trick. We came to a new solution Social Business Platform (SBP), which includes all functions of existing types of e-commerce, i.e. B2B, B2C, C2C, etc., of social networking sites and blogs. The whole point is that it should become some kind of an engine, which will be able to unite everybody and everything: user and user, user and business, business and business, etc., where one party is a buyer, and another is a seller.
Having got together, rented a small office and started the work we thought of a talisman, which then became our logo, and whose name we took as ours. Telling talisman, here we mean a yellow dog called Tebe. To a question why a dog? we have the simplest answer: who can be a better symbol for a search, because the goal of our project is to find you products and services you need. Why is it yellow? Perhaps, because this friendly yellow face of a funny dog will make you smile and look at the process of purchasing in the net from a different angle.
We then identified the scope and names of the two main sites: TebeTalk.com (which you can already visit and test, though its just a tiny part of whats yet to come), and TebeCom.com (which is currently in the development stage).
TebeTalk is a site, created for talking by interests. This is the place, where that very button, for which this whole thing was planned, should appear, while TebeCom is intended to become the huge base of different companies offering their products and services. Therefore, Click&Get will be a linking chain of TebeTalk and TebeCom, and in perspective its function will be to send an offer from any place to TebeCom, where it will get processed and then sent back to you in the form of a ready result. Thus, making minimum effort you save a great deal of time, which you can spend with use and pleasure. This is an extra hour in your day.
The main problem of this project is that both sites discussed above must appear in the Internet simultaneously, or with a minimal delay, to give you an opportunity to try all the charm of the system in use. However, TebeCom.com at the moment is not ready and is being developed. So, making the use of this moment, we decided to tell you about us in a simple and comprehensive manner to get to know your point of view about our idea and the whole project.
And now our team is hardly working on the project realizing current and creating new ideas, about which well tell you in the next article.
