Polycot Labs: Platforms for the Social Web

Social Networks

The web is changing. People aren’t interested in just reading what your copy writer or branding company are producing. They want to talk to each other. They want to share the cool thing they did with your product, they want to talk about the great service they had from you, or the great idea they have for a new thing you could offer.

People have something to share, something powerful. They’re writing stories, taking pictures, shooting video, and generally producing more compelling content than anyone else. The bar has fallen through the floor, and the people want to have their voice.

If you have a compelling idea or a strong brand you’re in a great position to take advantage of this change. People want to identify with brands and ideas they love. They want to show off their stuff, show what they can do. If you don’t give them the ability to do that, someone else will.

We help our customers figure out what their user base really wants, and the best way to get it to them. With our existing codebases we can rapidly create new online experiences involving blogs, photo sharing, video sharing, geotagging, friends lists, forums, on-site messaging and more.

Through the power of the Ruby on Rails development architecture we can tweak and change the functionality as the users show us what works like we thought it would and what doesn’t quite work like it should. Being able to respond quickly to your users isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a must.
