No, we are not a social network or plan on doing an “identity” play (some have asked us this).

Our vision is to help companies understand who their customer are and provide tools to help them engagement with more relevance.

What were building is the social graph of your customers, from there we can extract A LOT of information ;-) [that's what I spend most of my day trying to test and figure out].

If you have any questions / ideas – let me know.

Appreciate your comment.

That would be extremely useful. I see the value here, but this isn't a social network, is it?
