Social eMotion (c) 2011 January 2012 Announcements A New Home! (In December actually) Social eMotion took up new digs in the Khan Incubator in Cary.  Our new office space offers a great collection of entrepreneurial neighbors, better customer meeting and working space and some ability to expand as we continue to grow. A New Family Member! After working as a consultant and advisor since July of 2011, Matt Karash has officially joined the Social eMotion team as Vice President, Sales and Marketing.  Matt brings 15 years of technology start-up company experience to the team.  Most recently, he was President of NBMK Encryption Technologies, Inc.  And Many More Family Members! In late January, Social eMotion acquired Savvy Dollar (www.savvydollar.org) from its founder Dan Griffin.  Savvy Dollar is a North Carolina online community of over 15,000 members focused on helping its members save money at local businesses. Savvy Dollar is a logical fit for Social eMotion, as the Savvy Dollar community is already engaged with many of the same merchants in discussion with Social eMotion.   This cross pollination between communities creates a greater opportunity for Social eMotion, the local merchants, and the local shoppers.

After working hard to collect and incorporate customer feedback, our development team has added important new features to miPlaces. Most notably, users now have the ability to opt-in at a merchant level and also at a specific category level within each merchant.  The result is a more targeted and relevant communication between merchant and customer. Non-Smartphone Functionality Added! miPlaces’ full feature set is designed for smartphone users (Android and iPhone), but miPlaces now also supports non-smartphone users via SMS text message and/or email digest options.
