Thanks so much for including SMCHI in your blog, Ryan. I’m really exciting about this particular session since so many of Hawaii’s businesses are actively creating, or starting to create social media policies. Aloha.

Comment on Hawaii Klout Portal Launched by Borisjk99

This sounds like a good idea, but if Mr. Kolf’s previous business ventures are any indicator of things to come(which I believe they are), then this thing is dead in the water.

ZeppOS and his Empowered Internet Solutions was one of the biggest scams in a long time. They promised a kick-ass software that would be fully customizable, but easy enough for any newbie to use…not to mention full support. With a prices for their service starting in the lower-mid 4 figures, you would expect quality, but that’s not what you got.

Instead, you got a software that:

1. Was full of bugs
2. Had terrible coding
3. Not fully customizable as promised
4. Not very newbie-friendly at all.

I have seen open source WSYWIG(what you see is what you get) website software that you can download for free that was much better than ZeppOS.

The hosting was pretty standard, but the support team was not very helpful. They were slow to respond, and rarely available. They finally “topped the cake” by not notifying any of their clients that the company tanked.

By the time I got word of the company failing, their phone #s were disconnected, thier office was cleared out, and there was no contact information available for customers to find out what was going on.

Finally, as far as SEO goes(search engine optimization), Rob is about a novice level(definitely not worth the extra couple grand he tries to get from you for his SEO services).

A social network that doesn’t ask for your email address and name. That’s new and interesting. I was never one to worry about my privacy online but since this whole FB thing, I kinda became concerned. So that Only Me World would not ask me for my personal info, i’m intrigued. And a SN that doesn’t follow me around the internet? lol, I’ll give it a try.

question… is the reco to set up but not put a lot of effort into it or put equal % of effort into this as we currently put into Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter?

I attended the conference and it was a great social media event for Hawaii. The speakers were insightful and very willing to share their knowledge and experiences. But there seemed to be one trait common among the speakers...
