The social networking revolution is upon us.  Over the past year, billions of dollars have been invested in social networking websites.  Taken together these sites boast more than 100 million members worldwide.  More than just the latest Internet fad, the emergence of social networking represents a fundamental reorientation of our understanding of the Web.  No longer an impediment to social interaction, social networking begins from the premise that the Internet is a technology that can augment and improve interpersonal and social communication.  Unfortunately for the investors and advertisers who have eagerly jumped on the social networking bandwagon, existing social networking sites are incapable of taking full advantage of the tremendous potential of this revolutionary moment.  BlockSavvy is the first and only site capable of fulfilling the promise of the social networking revolution.  Existing social networking sites suffer from a number of fundamental flaws, and our predecessors’ shortcomings are our advantage:

• Superior Site Architecture

Popularity has proven to be a double-edged sword, generating demands that overwhelm the limited capacity of existing social networking infrastructure.  Users have flocked to these sites because they promised to reduce the anonymity of the Internet and enhance online social interactions.  However, as the number of registered users has grown, sites became less and less capable of delivering on those promises.  Effective social networking begins with efficient, reliable search capabilities.  BlockSavvy makes social networking simple by providing users with an intelligent search engine that adapts to their online behavior.  The more users interact with the site, the more refined their search results become.  And BlockSavvy is built upon a fully scalable architecture that is capable of evolving as new online communities emerge and diversify.

• Revolutionary 3D Graphic Interface

Existing social networking sites rely on first generation browser technologies, confining users to a two-dimensional world of text and flat images.  Personal expression is limited to your choice of wallpaper, a list of bookmarks, and a static profile.  Whatever advantages these sites offer in terms of enhanced social communication are delivered at the expense of a bland, uninspired online social environment.  BlockSavvy’s competitive advantage is visibly apparent from the moment you log on to the site.  BlockSavvy residents enter a three-dimensional room of their own creation, with fully-integrated audio and video capabilities, neighborhood network connections, and functional, searchable, branded products, from furniture and electronic equipment to sneakers and kitchen cookware.  Your space becomes your place, and your homepage becomes your virtual online home.  With BlockSavvy, the possibilities for personal expression are virtually limitless.  

• Unparalleled Social Networking Services

Existing sites offer little direction to new users as they venture into the world of social networking.  Most sites utilize rudimentary search engines that produce increasingly overwhelming and arbitrary results as site traffic grows.  Building personal networks is frustrating and confusing.  Although many social networking sites now offer original and exclusive content, none has the capacity to tailor the delivery of exclusive content to markets of any scale or composition.  And none of these sites has effectively integrated full-service social network hosting capabilities into a functional online marketplace to promote eCommerce.  BlockSavvy offers a full array of social network hosting services in addition to eCommerce opportunities, online gaming applications, as well as original and exclusive content. 

• Innovative eCommerce Opportunities

Existing social networking sites either neglect eCommerce, viewing it as something distinct from other forms of social communication, or employ the same outdated eCommerce practices that popped the dot.com bubble. 
BlockSavvy is the only social networking site that recognizes eCommerce is an essential aspect of social life.  Culture and style are intimately connected to branded products, from the clothes we wear to the music we listen to.  Savvy consumers don’t just follow the latest lifestyle trends – they define the cutting edge.  BlockSavvy is a place for these trendsetters to show off their swagger, make contact with other connoisseurs of urban culture, and discover the latest offerings from the brands and designers they’re looking for.  And while most sites are content to establish one-dimensional relationships with companies that revolve around traditional advertising devices – banner ads, pop up windows, page sponsorships, and promotional emails – BlockSavvy has redefined the relationship between companies and their target markets.  Our unique, 3-dimensional graphic interface allows us to create an online environment that maximizes opportunities for self-expression, and in the process creates unlimited opportunities for creative advertisement and innovative approaches to customer relations.  BlockSavvy opens the door on a new world of eCommerce possibilities.
