I do have like a new and luxurious idea, but sadly, it may a little too expensive. And at this point we will probably have to work with groups of investors, not a sole one. The idea we have, and not really an idea since we already have it completed yet not implemented is community communications on a new scale. You are all familiar with Craigslist and that operates, well this would be that sort of concept however also with the ability to accommodating the local businesses that reside in such and such a given area. We are not talking of here simply having a site, or subsection of the site that states merely that such and such is a good place to buy a sandwich, or come here for liquor, no, not at all, we are talking about specifics, like come in today for our special which includes, and then give something specific, a business component that can be changed on the whim, advertising anything you like, and a community that when shopping or looking for services is able to find a real time solution. But this is vanity orientated like most social sites, but work or business orientated, so I might think it may take some time to actually sell it. However, the wise person may like to have this already in place, when the time and need arises, and thereby beat all others. Everything that is happening "now", everything that is "live" in the community. Frankly I am surprise no one would like to have such a gadget. We haven't come to a time yet I guess where anyone really is that concerned about what is happening in their community at any time, its just important. However such a software package would save a great amount of time, and thereby free up time for other en devours, with a great deal of looking and planning being eliminated, you consult the system and you find out all activities, great for any business, large or small needing support, and much much cheaper advertising expense, as I would be more than happy to discuss. Of course I am not in Israel so I would have to do this by email. It would be the most current information possible, and on a constant update too. Save money, get more, be informed, save time, that about what we are talking about here, plus, and one should consider this, applicable for the whole world, can be installed internationally. This package also functions in the world or online Social or Private Networking. If you consider that Craigslist is already popular then something siilmiar to Craigslist only having more would also be popular. If you consider that the world wide internet community is only growing, at something like 45 % per year, you would immediately see that informing those is also important. The other thing I want to bring up here is that Community Systems now are not business advertising competent, although the notion has been around for years, and many in software groups and companies have sought to develop it. It's just a little harder than a first glance would render. Thatt means of course, that the general feeling of the system that is able to support local community business is primarily seen as being pretty impossible to develop, and simply not worth it. This means that in the future people who wish to develop their own community system that supports businesses will most likely have a kind of difficult time judging from the success or lack of it that has already existed, or not existed.

We have the system, it's totally functional, it can be loaded with hundreds of cities, and provide instant knowledge of everything that is happening in those cities, instantly, "live". We've done all the hard part, and the nice thing is it is easy to operate, and quite fun, to an extent addictive.

Please contact me if community communications system has some interest to you, but let me forewarn you, this is just a bit expensive, yet at the same time the investment appears to be worth the expense since it has world wide application.
