New Micro-Macroblogging Social Network Wooxie has Twitter feel & 155 or 240-1440 Characters Feature

July 31, 2009 - PRLog -- Founder and CEO Jeff Knize of Wooxie®, A New Microblogging Social Network, announced a unique network that mandates users to follow by category and maxes thoses categories to 15. Jeff said, "Many social networks including Twitter®, allow anyone to follow anyone and this has caused many users confusion. Even with locked updates, users are compelled to accept and follow users only to find out those users are of a different interest and/or posting strong sales pitches to them. We want to reduce this. In addition, after testing, we find that 155 characters in posts is a sweet spot for completing a users thought. Sure it's not perfect... but it works. We have a macro option for posting 240-1440 posts too.  We are also working on Social Shortcuts which are trending abbreviations that are to be used in future posts. This will make posts more effective and when a post is done correctly, a 155 character post can actually account for 5 condensed posts".

Upon sign-up, Wooxie mandates users to choose specific categories and maxes those categories to 15 per user. Jeff Knize, CEO & Founder of Wooxie says: "We find that users have to stop and think about which categories pertain to them. They make better choices and know they can't follow users unless they are in their specific category. This has proven to reduce spam in posts".

Wooxie plans to take social networking to the next level and believes the possibility for them to be a top 10 network is for real. Users continue to applaud the site and have one post in common... Wooxie is COOL!

Knize noted, "Facebook® & Twitter® are unique and are extraordinary successes. From the beginning, I have been saying that I want Wooxie to be a hybrid of the two giants. We have some components from each network and want to utilize the best from both worlds while adding our custom features". Ie: Category specific user accounts, 155 characters per post, photo gallery with unique titles, etc.

Knize went on to say, "We have some marketing tricks up our sleeve that are not being used anywhere else. Unfortunately, I cannot divulge details at this time. Although some of the marketing tactics we plan to implement will generate consistent traffic, we believe the true power of our growth will come from word-of-mouth communication".

First there was Facebook, then Twitter, & now Wooxie. Wooxie is unique by allowing you to choose your categories upon sign-up & only allow posts from those categories (155  or 240-1440 characters). Wooxie allows you to add your photo, website url, your bio on your profile page, customize your backround and colors, add a photo gallery with a unique title and more.
