Empire Avenue: Just another Social Network?
First off, I’d like to make a response to a premise I wrote about a few months ago: Set it and leave it on Empire Avenue.
No, You cannot just “set it and leave it”. Empire Avenue has made the on-site interaction a large part of the “scoring” that my original premise didn’t quite work. In a sense you can just leave it. But your score will suffer from the neglect. I doubled my score when I got serious with it.
Ok, now for my next premise!!! <drum roll please>
Is Empire Avenue just another social network?
Hmm? is it? A lot of people quote the hype of how they are connecting and defining new relationships and partnerships and Empire Avenue is different from the rest.
Time will tell.
Every social network was IT when it first arrived. Empire Avenue could be just another one of those. There is just one variable, in my humble opinion, that can set Empire Avenue apart from the rest for a long time to come: Empire Avenue consumes other networks.
I think this is the key that will keep people coming back to Empire Avenue. No matter how many other Social Networks emerge, people will invariably come back to the Avenue to see how their interactions rank against others. Only if the great folks at Empire Avenue can keep up the relevancy of how they score social networks can they keep ahead of the others.
And that is all for now.
