I’ve Been Quiet for a Reason: CIO Happy Hour is On!
As you’ve probably noticed I’ve been away for some time (do I see a puzzled face there? :). That wasn’t a vacation, quite on the contrary: my colleague and I have been working on a project we had in mind long ago, which was initially named CIO Happy Hour.
Planning started about 6 months ago, and the vision of the project has changed greatly several times (that is quite an interesting story also) morphing into experience exchange platform for successful people and companies all over the web. I’m proud to present you CIO Happy Hour – my first mature creation, which reflects current state of the web and combines all the best features that social internet can offer for both businesses and customers.
As we all live in “conversation age”, our networking possibilities have grown to the unthinkable level. We are all a tweet away from each other, right here ready to engage into a discussion. With this new open-layer being so tangible and accessible, an idea popped into my mind: let’s create a platform for successful people so they can share their achievements and accomplishments with everybody, inspire and answer tricky questions. CIO Happy Hour is a place for a rich dialogue between companies and users, rivals and competitors, a place, where real people communicate, exchange ideas, and learn from each other.
For the initial launch we have prepared two interviews, so you can taste the idea. The next rounds of interviews will be quite different and more profound. We will be grouping companies in a specific niche, e.g. this month you’ll see players in wireframing and prototyping market. By doing so, we will be able to grasp a particular business domain trends and possible future evolution. All information is from the creators and innovators themselves, so be sure to expect great insights. We have also prepared some goodies for you, but that’s all in a due course :).
As for right now we are waiting for your feedback and any ideas and comments you have. As it’s said on CIOHH:
“You, as a reader, are an immerse complement of our platform and your comments, questions and feedback are essential.”
