There seems to be a new startup company making its presence known every day, sometimes every hour. Some focus on social networking and others are designed especially for business professionals who need to market services or connect with potential customers. And while they are numerous, each one is unique and has its own place among the others. And Amsterdam based Zwiggo is no exception.
A Unique Collaboration Platform
Zwiggo encourages users to form groups and share information among all group members. Zwiggo includes message boards, live chat rooms, editable task lists, and shareable picture galleries. It’s also completely customizable. Users can pick and choose which apps to use within the group, making it perfect for those who want a lot of extra features and for those who just want the basics. This also means that users don’t have to worry about being forced to endure “feature bloat,” as Zwiggo calls it. Zwiggo leaves the power and the choice to its users. And that makes it an easy collaboration platform for everyone to use.
Not Just for Businesses
One thing that makes Zwiggo unique is that it isn’t just for businesses and business professionals. While business professionals can use it and greatly benefit from it, it’s also marketed toward the average consumer, from the college student to the stay-at-home parent. It can be used by families to plan events, family reunions, or even Sunday dinner or it can be used by a business manager to schedule meetings, share professional documents, or to communicate with off-site contractors or freelancers.
How Does it Compare?
While there are many choices when it comes to social networking sites, Zwiggo allows users to make this collaboration platform their own, as unique as they are while their individual or professional needs are also met. Using Zwiggo doesn’t require users to share their personal information, other than an email, to begin, so it’s safe to use and can be as anonymous as the user needs it to be.
As mentioned earlier, Zwiggo users can customize their groups with any number of apps that Zwiggo has already developed. But what’s even better than that is that if a user has a specific need, users can create their own apps. It can’t get any more customizable than that.
Consumers and business professionals have many options when it comes to finding the right social networking site or collaboration platform, but Zwiggo gives its competitors a run for its money. Because Zwiggo targets professionals and the every-day casual user, everyone can find some use of this new startup’s product. And because it’s free, it’s worth a try.
