Competitor analysis

Summary: My entrepreneurial idea is about a new kind of social media. It will be totally different from facebook or twitter. It won’t be characters based or picture based. It will be a website that give you more than the social activity which based on 3D technology. Everybody can find something they interested in from my website.

Competitor 1 Overview: The most difference between my ideal website and Amtrak is that my website is not emphasized on the travel. My website will concentrate on the social community, which means that the users can post whatever they want to say about their favorite areas and then other users who do live in the area or is interested in this area can watch the poster and make comments. So in my ideal model, the website is more likely to the social media, but it divides people to different areas. I think people do not have much time to travel around the world nowadays, but they do want to know or learn another culture in a different area or country. So they can simply do it via my website! They can learn what the people talk about in the area and find the interesting place in that city. Since my website will be based on 3D engine, they can even have a look around the place!

Competitor 2 Overview: Though my ideal website is definite by me as a social media, compared with the most popular social media, my website will be totally different! I think that the most people on the facebook are who you don’t know very much so that you are not supposed to talk with them via facebook. Maybe you just want to talk with your close friends on facebook, so why don’t you use text message or MSN. As we all know, many people cannot concentrate well during work time because they think about their facebook or twitter or anything else all the time. I think it is just a waste of time. But on my website, you do not need to add friends, what you are required to do is to choose your own area or city or just the city you interested in. Then you can just check your account when you are free because all of the message which will be pushed to your account is about the interesting things happened in the area, and you do not to care about whether others leave you massages or something you do care on the social media like facebook because the users do not know each other and the only thing to make them together is the areas.

In the end, I want to summarize my idea. In my ideal model, my website will be a new kind of social media. It will be different from the social media like facebook or Chinese Renren. It will have a new way to receive the information. I think the interest is not reliable, people may change it every day. The friendship is not reliable, two gays may break any time. But the love for your hometown will never change. And people always say that someplace is the only destination in their lives, so the website will attract users by their love to the earth. And my website is not a travel agent either. I won’t provide tickets or anything else related to travel on my website. Maybe I will give some links of other webs. The only thing I will do is to provide a 3D based interface so that users can check the information on the fashionable interface or just take a virtual travel on my website.

My entrepreneurial idea is about a new kind of social media. It will be totally different from facebook or twitter. It won’t be characters based or picture based. It will be a website that give you more than the social activity which based on 3D technology. Everybody can find something they interested in from my website.

 

Lecture: This lecture will related to the hardware and the system unit. As we all know, the computers today are very powerful and will become much more powerful in the future. I think if we just use the PC at home, we cannot even have full use of our computers. The CPU is more powerful than we need, the RAM is more powerful as well. And it is a waste of the computer and technology. But my website will change this situation. It will be 3D based and all of the world will be divided by the place that you interested in. 3D tech can easily attract people to use my new kind of social media and it will also make full use of our computers.

 

In my opinion, my idea can only come true in today’s computer science. I cannot even think about use 3D tech before 20 years. But the development of computer give me the chance. Computers become more and more powerful so that we can do anything we want in our computers. And of course it won’t be so difficult to develop a brand new 3D based website which contains the maps all over the world. So that I appreciate today’s technology for it bring us so many opportunities to make our ideas come true.

 

Finally, let’s talk about how today’s computer tech will help me to attract my users. First, the GPS can tell users where their friends are and we can tag the positions on the map(the map will be 3D, or user can set it to 2D). So that they can find their friends directly. And I can use this technology to make money. I can tell the shops to make commercials on my website in order to attract customers around their shops. Furthermore, my website will be divided by cities, so I can push the news happens in the position of the city that my users interested in. In this way, they even don’t need to open another page to check the news. After that, the basic part of my website and is also the original idea of my website, I think people can have a virtual travel on my website. Nowadays, people can travel all over the world easily, but maybe they don’ t have enough time or cannot afford it. So that they can come to my website and add the cities they want to go or interested in, and look around the cities and find the comments on this cities and the residents’ leaving messages.

Entrepreneurial Idea Overview: My entrepreneurial idea is to create a website which divided the world to area to area. So that people all around can find their hometowns and the area place they interest in. And the people who want to travel to the other place, they can go to the website and find some information about the place and who cannot afford traveling can easily have a virtual travel in this website.

Lecture: I have checked some hot social networks like facebook, twitter or renren, these networks always divide people by their interests or major or work or school. But many time people even want to know what happened around them. For example, if a LA person move to NY, he can easily used to NY via this network. But if he still go to facebook, he will learn little about NY, because the majority of his friends are in LA.

Then i want to talk about how i have this idea. This summer i want to travel to The Tai mountain which is one of the most famous mountains in China, but i found it is hard to find much information about my trip. After my trip, i think that if there was network that can help me, my trip would be much more wonderful. So i got this idea.

I think my idea will be based on customers' data. I won't base my website either on words or pictures, my idea will be based on 3D. I want to set up a new form of the social media, people can see the 3D world on the computer, and find their friends directly. I think the computers today is far more super than before, and this lead to a lot of surplus. So if i can make a 3D website, the website will make great use of the surplus. At the beginning, i will set up some areas that i know well such as syracuse and shanghai. Then the network will attract more people from syracuse or shanghai, then they can set up the cities or area they know well. As we know, the Internet attract the users much faster than the traditional media. So that won't be long before my network to cover the world. After that i can make a new  program to make an app that people can have a virtual travel on my network. I think this will be the greatest part of my idea. Image that if an old man want to travel to the Tai mountain, then he can use my network to make a virtual one and even take a photo via the app. That is my lecture about my Entrepreneurial Idea. The main concept is the speed of the Internet spread and the modern tech on the computers. 

my Entrepreneurial Idea

I want to set up a new website that people can share their travelling experience with people all over the world. Compared with the online travel forum, this website will be more than travelling. The residence can also go to the website to find something fun.

I compare this idea with twitter. Twitter divides people by their interests, but my ideal website divides people by where they come from. They can put anything about their area to the website and their idea about their areas on the website. And the other residents can see the ideas and the travelers can find the information about that place. Further more, those who don’t afford travelling can also travel virtually in this website.

I get this idea because last time I went to travel I found it is hard to find some information about destination. Besides, the information I found was very diverse so that I spent a lot of time reading that. If I open my website, than people will easy to find the information and plan their travels conveniently.

Above is concept of my Entrepreneurial Idea.
