Blue Goose, Unique Web Concept, Sets Offering

JUPITER, Fla., June 18 PRNewswire — Blue Goose Media LLC has announced a $1.5 million initial offering for its cutting-edge approach to social networking and social entrepreneurism.

The site, http://www.bluegoosenews.com , is the brainchild of two successful serial entrepreneurs from South Florida, Andrew Wilshire and Christopher Haass.

Their approach to the booming market of social networks stands out because of its unique functionality, a fully transparent method of allowing subscribers to distribute money to bloggers, causes and charities that they are calling a "tip jar."

This functionality, which lowers the administrative costs of fund-raising, is just one of the many features developed for Blue Goose by the nationally recognized Web developers, ONESite.

UPGRADED WEB 2.0 FUNCTIONALITY

Blue Goose's site offers upgraded and user-friendly versions of features common to social networks such as profiles, groups and forums but emphasizes a hands-off approach with a minimum of administrative intrusions and an emphasis on solution-oriented blogging and group activity.

Once the Internet essence of the site and its subscribers is established, Blue Goose will feature a sophisticated and targeted micro-lending functionality. Its initial revenue streams will be subscriptions, e-commerce and m-commerce through a division of ONESite, limited Google ads and the selling of data retrieval through polls, surveys and questionnaires. This data will be strictly anonymous.

TAKING ON SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURISM

In its Mission Statement, Blue Goose differentiates itself from earlier Web 2.0 networks by saying:

"The experiment comes down to this: Can we merge the sincere, yet somewhat naive and unfocused, hopes of the '60s with the self-centered greed and business acumen of the '80s, learn from the history and excesses of both, and change some lives. Like other social networks, Blue Goose is about "me" at the same time it's about something 'bigger than me.'"

As David Brooks said recently in The New York Times:

"In the last few years, we may be shifting toward another vision of maturity, one that is impatient with boomer narcissism. Young people today put service at the center of young adulthood. A child is served, but maturity means serving others."

Blue Goose Media is a synergy of commerce and concern, a fusion of the market and problem-solving, a transparent vehicle to channel the power of those who still hope.
