Welcome to the Shoshul!

Posted by Justin Thiele on May 12th, 2008

Shoshul is the work of Justin Thiele and Kirk Augustine. An entrepreneur with a love for tech and a geek with a love for business. We have been consumers of social networking, but are now looking to figure out how this stuff is changing the social and business environments, and how it can be fully utilized.

Shoshul is dedicated to exploring the new social media and networking tools that are taking up more and more of our attention and time. This will not be a review and news site like. The focus will be two-fold:

  1. How end users use this stuff in their daily life to better connect with the community, organize their life, etc.
  2. Insights into how businesses can use it to better connect with consumers, market their brand, and work more efficiently.

To “put our money where our mouth is” and hold ourselves accountable, this blog will be 100% transparent and open about traffic and readership. All of our site stats are prominently posted on the front page as well as more detailed, full stats on the Complete Stats page. Look there now. Any readers yet? No? I’m sure we will get one soon! Additionally, we will be posting articles detailing our marketing and promotion efforts to gain more readership and our results. These can be seen on the Shoshal Marketing page.

So, Welcome to the Shoshul! (I hope that doesn’t violate any trademarks…Sorry Zune)

Bonus Tip:
Businesses, get lots of traffic by getting an awesome domain name. People say that all the “dictionary words” are taken. Don’t believe them. Look, we were able to get “shoshul”. It’s not that hard!
