Search is Social

All too often we see fantastic social network solutions in market with poor search strategy.

The benefit of Genesis Engine Social Interface Design tied with Search means that the Genesis Engine is designed around the way users socially interact AND how search engines work. This means that conversations are RELEVANT and easily indexed. THIS ALSO MEANS WE CAN TURN OFF SEARCH ENGINES, so your information you want private remains private and INSIDE your Social Networked community.

Turn Discrete Events into Ongoing Conversations

PinoyWeb2.com, initially just a workspace for training has bloomed into its own thriving conversation. Thus providing us with a powerful case study for the use of our Genesis Engine in how we can take the Discrete event of a training (for example) and turn it into an ongoing conversation.

Life (who am I?) Purpose (what am I doing?) Direction (how do I get there?)

MyBennu… Bennu is ancient Egyptian for Phoenix. It means My Phoenix, it is a long way from fully functional but is a concept developed by us to allow each person a Dashboard for their life…

The assessment section allows users to do self assessments, and 360it! (tm) that is send the assessment to their personal network to find out what your peers think as a group as well. Not only this but we allow you to connect with others who are like, (collaberative filtering of Social Networks) and non like. (so you can find opposites or others with different strengths)

Our aim is to enable coaches, mentors and the like a way to interact with users. Or for users to find similar skillsets and tools.
