It’s been a long, yet fruitful development road we have traveled here at Visionary Lab. We are very excited about our latest release, and even more excited about what’s ahead in the next few months. 2010 is going to be a very productive year for us, as it has been already.
The Directory vLabCat Directory
It’s going to be hard to sum up everything that is included in our customized eSyndicat directory. In a nutshell, we’ve taken an already robust directory platform and converted into a full on, featured loaded Business directory. One that is not only competes with the major directory scripts out there, but is also affordable and extremely dynamic.
Maybe it’s because we have directory owners on our team, maybe it’s because we see the real potential for Webmasters to make a successful and profitable business, or perhaps we, ourselves are completely sold and committed to developing and evolving a great directory platform.
Whatever the reason, we are happy to announce our Directory Platforms to the public.
Continuing Development Through Plugins and Addons
Part of the reason we chose the eSyndicat as our base platform choice is because of the tremendous possibilities in terms of expanding and developing to take our ideas of what a quality business directory should offer… to the NEXT level. Not only are we creating advanced features to render a great directory product, but we are also putting a considerable amount of effort in extending as many different features through plugins and addons.
This will be an ongoing effort on our part, and as time beats on, we will release more and more great plugin/addon products for our clients to choose from.
An Eye on Social
Face it, social networking is the ‘thing’ to do, and the way we see it, it will be the thing to do for as far as we can see in the future of online interactivity. And, what better way to make use of such a great tool, than to extend it in our directories? Business community meets and mingles with their direct consumer market? The consumer market, aka, local and niche communities benefit by being a part of either their local community or a specific niche… with the edge on finding services, products, commodities and related business interests.
The concept serves the community/consumers well because they can share their favorite dining spot, pub, store, service with others that share a common interest or within their local community. At the same time, they can connect with others and create groups for their schools, churches, sports, specific interests, neighborhoods and more. They can also find out what local events are going on, or, perhaps post a classified — engaging and interacting with those of the same interest or locally.
We understand this importance and see the true benefit with hyperlocal networking and combining the business and consumer worlds.
With our upcoming Go Social Directory addon, which we plan to release by August of 2010 — we are literally putting social networking right at the fingers of directory owners.
Let’s Keep Moving
Now, with our base platforms and products available to anyone who wants to capitalize on all of the above — we are ready to keep a steady but strong pace in continuing development and releasing new products and services that will take our clients to the next level… every time.
