Connex.Us bolsters and assists you with your social media “Inner Circle”
Our dynamic new network will make intelligent suggestions about sharing with those you interact with the most.
Connex.Us is a social networking site that helps you start conversations, and respects your privacy.
Social media is one of the most exciting new technologies of the past decade, but with it has come a few challenges. Major social networks have become the source of endless privacy concerns where users are asked to give away more and more personal information.
Share, in your comfort zone
We at Connex.Us feel that anonymity and being able to choose if or how much you share is important. To that end, we have created a social network where you can identify yourself with as little as your preferred username and password, or as much as your email and real name. You can connect to other social networks and share into them, or invite your friends into Connex.Us where only you and your friends know your real identities.
The gamification of social networking has created an exciting, competitive environment.
Because of the growing number of social networks, this has led to ways of automating tweets and content delivery to the masses. The unfortunate side effect is that more time is spent finding, scheduling, and disseminating content than interacting with the friends. This has been called The Share-ocalpse, and the challenge gets bigger every day.
“Sharables”
We meet this challenge with Connex.Us “Sharables”. If you choose to connect Connex.Us to your social networks, you can start using Sharables, which pay attention to what you share, and who replies, retweets or discusses it, and makes intelligent suggestions about sharing with those you interact with the most. Connex.Us will also help manage social gaming site Empire Avenue, a social networking stock exchange, by simplifying your notifications and automating reciprocal buy backs. No more spread sheets. No more data entry. Let us do the work for you! In this way, Connex.Us gets content delivery out of your way and helps you re-engage with the people you care about. You can stop broadcasting, stop worrying about maintaining your numbers, and start talking again.
Sharables can be customized based on what you love to read. You can add your own RSS feeds and Connex.Us will function as your news reader, letting you share, curate and save links to stories that you care about the most.
Connex.us will connect us
We hope you find these features as compelling and useful as we do! Please see our Connex.Us Rockethub crowdfunding page, invest in Connex.Us (or at least a tweet, comment (ideas for the campaign would be awesome!), or share would be much appreciated) and help us achieve our goal of giving back your privacy, and getting back to real, meaningful, relevant conversation, no matter where you want to have it.
The Crowdfunding – I would really appreciate your feedback on the campaign. What incentives do you think would inspire your support? Let us know – we listen!
