What started as a late night idea 60 days ago has now taken flight...Socialurl.com was recognized on Mashable.com as a prime contendor to other competing social network aggregators. Visitors and members alike seem to really like the idea of managing their MySpace, Bebo and Facebook in one place. Beyond the technology jargon of open API's and OpenID's users simply are buying in on the marketed concept from SocialURL.
I think its the simple fact that we fashioned a site that not only serves a niche purpose but is also marketed right in the sense of design and intuitive familiarity to our target demographic age group.
The site is in alpha currently and has had a surge of visitors who are in the majority of southern california socialites. Ethnicity seems to be skewed a bit right now with mostly asian americans and we are targeting for a much more diversified group of people.
A friend of mine (one of the founders of Myspace) recently suggested SocialURL should just focus on marketing to the asian american population. Although, that is an interesting suggestion, i didn't feel that it is fair to corner SocialURL at this point in the game towards a single demographic. The technology and its application is for all citizens of the web who belong to more than 1 social network online.
