New Social Network eegoes Launches Services: What Matters to You?

BOSTON, Massachusetts, September 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- With many social media users complaining of information overload and a lack of control over their growing connections, a new era of social network is launched today with the arrival of eegoes. Now officially out of private invitation-only beta, this new social networking tool aims to put the basics back into social, organize and streamline your content around things that interest you, so you can find, according to their catchy slogan, 'what matters to you'.

American-Swiss start-up eegoes is now publicly available, having been previously available by private invitation only, although it remains in beta. This new social network, is the brainchild of Guillaume Molter and Al Zane, IT enthusiasts with a vision to simplify the user experience, reduce clutter and arrange the streams of content and information available daily to social media users.

A series of private investors and companies provided the initial seed funding for the company, which has been working hard preparing the platform for official launch.

eegoes simplifies social with a 'back to basics' networking and sharing concept. Users create a personal profile to post links, photos, videos and events.

One of the great characteristics of eegoes is the ability to add tags or keywords, so that every piece of content is searchable, making it easy for users to locate content of potential interest to them. Even profiles can be tagged, meaning you can search people according to interests, undoubtedly a huge selling point for meeting other like-minded people. The service also recommends users to you based on common interests or proximity to each other.

When questioned about the use of this functionality, Guillaume Molter , CEO of eegoes, explains, "The purpose of eegoes is not primarily to share personal information or photos as is common on other networks. Although this is still possible as private messaging and profiles are available for those who wish to participate in a more personal way, this is not our major focus."

"We developed eegoes to allow people to improve the relevancy of their networks as they grow, by reducing the overload of less interesting content , helping them to find others who share their passions and interests and allowing them to get their message out to a wider global audience. So unless you specifically request it, your profile and posts are seen by everyone, so they can be searched and found by others who agree with your opinion or wish to challenge it. For us, eegoes is as much about meeting new people as it is about sharing and discovering great content which matters to you."

Their delightful little animated introduction video is also currently going viral, cleverly tapping into the frustration users feel with daily clutter from things like Farmville updates and fake profiles.

The launch is also providing eegoes members with additional excitement as there are great prizes on offer, including a prize draw for an Apple iPad.

The most voted for or 'liked' posts are also in with a chance of winning iTunes and Amazon gift vouchers, thereby encouraging new users to try the service.
