Brave Tech World

November 14, 2007

    Sampa just got coverage on TechCrunch. We just released a set of 3 new features: Recent visitors lists, comments avatar and visitor upload pictures.

    Michael Arrington (TechCrunch editor) doesn't go into much detail of these features -- they are quite easy to "get it" -- but he does nail one very good point better than we could have ever said ourselves:

"...we've had some difficulty in categorizing them"

    This has been a challenge we had with investors and press (but not with customers). We don't fall into any clear-cut category of web-based (or Web 2.0) service:

• We are not a social network, but have many features from social networks.
• We are not a substitue for web-site creation service, but we allow you to create a personal website.
• We are not a media sharing site, but we allow you to share it.
• We are not a family-tree service, but we allow you to have one.
• We are not a distribution list, but we have great two-way email integration.
• ...

    So, what is Sampa? We call it "personal private networks". It's your personal space on the web, where you have the control to share who you are with who you want.
