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.
