Keywords: platform, positive social change, web identity, showcase initiatives, like minded people

We believe it would be the best to elaborate upon these keywords to help you visualize the larger picture in our mind.

Platform: Before SocialSync we have helped organizations establish their online identities. During this time our main focus had also been non-profits. We realized that its was not just about creating a good looking website but more to do with creating an identity, keeping it up-to date, sharing updates with your users, making them feel a companion of your journey, giving them outlets to express their support - create and engaging experience. Enlightened with this learning experience we set out to create a platform that breaks the conventional model of websites attributed to non-profits. We are here to serve not a few but hundred thousands of non-profits who share this vision.

Positive Social Change: We sincerely believe that tomorrow the world should be a better place than its today and thats what keeps us going. We are here to partner with organizations working for a positive social change and thus do our bit.

Web Identity: Its no longer sufficient to have just a mere web presence. With the exponential growth of the Internet and loads of avenues to establish a web presence its become extremely important to distinguish ones identity and leverage other new media avenues around your identity.

Showcase initiatives: If we intend to expand our reach and thus the possible impact we first need to reach out to people. Internet has established itself as an excellent medium for passive research and prompting active involvement. Today its become imperative to share the great work you do on the ground and inspire others to do so. With the rise of social media its become all the more simple to share your daily challenges, struggle, silent defeats and small victories to inspire herds of others to follow your path.

Like minded people: One inspired soul can change the tide. Imagine a whole bunch of them! Yes, one of our goals is get together a community of like minded people with a common binding force of positive social change. We believe this community already exists we are just working to get them together, help them collaborate with each other and help them reach their our goals and thus do our bit.

Community Platform:
Is your solution part of a larger active community?

Now, this is where we outshine all other solutions. SocialSync was conceptualized keeping in mind the community. Even though every organization on the platform is a seperate entity, they are part of the SocialSync community. //Eg:// An account on the SocialSync website is all you need to contribute to the community. We can have a ‘XYZ’ who is a member of organization A and contributing to the blog of organization B. At the same time he can subscribe to updates from organization C,D and E. All this by just maintaining a single account and also provided that organizations A and B give ‘XYZ’ the appropriate rights at their own discretion.

In the pipeline we have some very exciting features which explore this bit and open up avenues for endless possibilities.

• Community solution from ground-up
• Endless possibilities of collaboration
