Bizhuddle – Social Networking for SMBs

Launching next month, Bizhuddle will be applying social networking concepts on SMB communities. Now don’t jump to conclusions too fast with ideas like YAWLSNP(Yet Another White Label Social Networking Platform). Bizhuddle’s plans are to get the SMB customers and their service providers interacting with each other. To get the interaction going, Bizhuddle will miz 3 components for it’s service, Huddles, Reviews, and Playbooks, to converge distance between service providers and the businesses who need them.

As you might guess, “Huddles” will basically be the p2p discussion forum. People ask for help or offer help. All the time either side keeping SMB related issues into perspective. Local businesses would get rated and ranked in “Reviews” component of the service. The idea here is to enable aggregation of reviews in a local scope. “Playbooks” at Bizhuddle would be guides from professional service providers, who already have enough SMB related content available but find it difficult deliver the right community. While the longer term goal is to build a UGC site, Bizhuddle will be sourcing content from number of small business associations and counselors to get the initial traction.

From the business model perspective, as Bizhuddle would be providing very targeted and local information, any geo-targeted ad campaigns should perform really well. Would watch how things shape up for Bizhuddle next month.
