Press Release Summary: Fuzgo.com is a localized social networking application that allows its users to participate in social causes while providing an organized platform for them to keep in touch with friends, plan travel activities, watch and create online video ads, and connect with neighbors and local businesses through maps.
Press Release Body: VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA, March 23, 2008 - FUZGO.com is releasing a new localized social networking utility currently in beta. The website\'s main feature allows users to connect with their neighbors through a map interface, all while maintaining a safe level of privacy. Localizing event listings, classifieds, and online communities, Fuzgo offers a targeted web based medium to promote community interaction and involvement. People can organize block watches, raise local issues, and socialize with people living in their area. \"At Fuzgo, we\'ve found a way to connect people and businesses with their neighbors\" says Arif Ali, Business Development.
Social networking sites are so broad that they lose their relevance on a local level. It is great that people from all over the world can connect to their friends, but what about the people and businesses in your own neighborhood? This is an issue on the minds of so many people using other social networking sites, they want local interaction.
People and businesses would be thrilled to be able to connect with those in their local community. Restaurants, salons, movie theaters, coffee shops and the myriad of businesses and community programs that operate locally need a way to connect directly to those people who are around them.
Through Fuzgo, users can not only create personal and business profiles, they will soon have the option of creating online video ads to promote their businesses. This implementation of innovative software for the creation of online videos ads will provide small businesses the ability to target their video advertising to people who are most likely to visit them.
Unlike other businesses that wait to become profitable before starting any charitable efforts, Fuzgo intends to start from its inception. Through the creation of the Fuzgo Cares Network, its members can donate $1 a month to be distributed to partnering charities. Currently Fuzgo has committed to helping raise funds through the Fuzgo Care Network for the BC Children\'s Hospital and Covenant House.
Fuzgo.com would like to invite other charities to join the Fuzgo Cares Network and use this utility to raise funds for their local communities. Fuzgo hopes to bring \"social consciousness\" into social networking at a local level. \"We believe this initiative can change the world, one profile at a time\" says Zeeshan Hayat, CEO of Fuzgo.com.
