SW Toronto: Finalizing Idea Selection
We just got back from breaking up into groups. Groups were tasked to do some feasibility planning for each of our two finalist ideas (Lobby Them and Product Ads) on Competitors, Target Market, Revenue Model, etc.
We’re a little over time for tonight but final pitches are taking place. We should have a final vote soon. Lobby Them elevator pitch: “A site that brings community together to lobby change” Talk about integrating Lobby Them into Ontario elections. Talk about crazies using Lobby them, Andrew just brought up the NAMBLA organization.
Auction ads - Steve Poland just got up and is saying they learned in their group that it can’t be done due to the need to have authorization from target sites before linking. Auction Ads idea is dead.
Lobby Them, idea of Alan McMillan wins!
We’re done for the night, reconvene tomorrow at 10am.
