eHarmony for me fell into that camp. Leverage Existing Platforms or Third Party Products - you want to test your socialnetwork, grab Drupal and whip something together, or even just use a hosted service. More complex MVPs are going to be 12+ Programmer months. There are some MVPs that are unavoidably complex.
Most notably, he was the original CTO for eHarmony for its first four years making him partly responsible for more than 4% of the marriages every year. Tony provides specific models and suggestions for how startups can leverage socialnetworks for viral growth yet maintain their independence so as not to limit themselves long-term.
However, Elgg could power 100,000 networks and it would make no difference - there is no revenue stream as we give everything away under a GPL license. There are quite a few other SoftwareDevelopment Companies in Southern California working on open source and/or freemium business models.
When I recently was looking to find people who had experience with using socialnetworks to reach people for what might be considered guerilla marketing efforts, again LinkedIn worked great. He has been the CTO for several start-ups, most notably eHarmony. He has twenty years’ experience as a CTO.
Its also been interesting to see the interaction of tools involved - SocialNetworking, Blogging and a Discussion Group. The level of resumes we get through our LinkedIn networks is top notch. Weve also found that other socialnetworks such as FaceBook and MySpace to have almost no results when it comes to recruitment.
In the age of socialnetworking, everyone has hundreds--even thousands--of connections online. But, to a business person, those connections and network are only good as the real life relationships they create. Those are people like Galen Buckwalter, who you probably knjow is the Chief Scientific Officer of eHarmony.
And in fact all our globally-connecting-social-networking tools are making face-to-face more, not less desirable. Tony Karrer is CEO/CTO of TechEmpower , a Los Angeles Web Development firm, and is considered one of the top technologists in e-Learning. He has been the CTO for several start-ups, most notably eHarmony.
