What is me2everyone?
Introduction:
When the Internet was created it was called the “Global Village” and over the years its grown into a sprawling mess. Search engines act as a sorting tool for the most popular sources of information (or those who paid the most money). It leaves millions of websites in the cold. The Global Village is a metropolis: poorly designed with no heart or centre.
So the me2everyone founders decided to create a new village… something with more structure, something with more of what you would expect from where you live. Now the me2everyone world isn’t a 3D world: you cant fly around or jump in a virtual car and outrun the police. It is a place where you come and you interact. There are visual elements to help tell the story of your interaction: but none of the invasive commentary that features on some sites: “Bob came online and made a new friend… Bob played a game…. Bob is having a secret affair….” Me2everyone therefore comes under the field of Social Network.
The world has many social networks that embrace the web 2.0 culture: design a home page and talk to you friends. Some companies have excelled in this: Facebook, MySpace, Friendster and Bebo are all ventures worth $1bn plus. Facebook is owned primarily by venture capitalists with small slices for the original developer and Microsoft (whose involvement in 2007 cost $240m for a 1.5% stake). MySpace was bought by News International, while AOL took Bebo early in 2008. Friendster with 80m members remains independent.

Me2everyone is Designed Differently!

Me2everyone is a cool new virtual world where you can meet friends, chat, shop, play, watch videos, create an art gallery, open a virtual newspaper, play the free inworld lottery and make money from your own online store! You and everyone your know make the decisions, shape the world, create real incomes and share in the profits. There’s nothing to download and it’s not a game. It’s a new place where you come and interact. Meet new people or invite your friends. Learn new skills or expand your business. Find the love of your life or help the planet. Check out the video below (from the actual me2everyone website):
me2everyone is a place on the web where your ideas will be heard, where you can start a new business and see the real world through new eyes. It’s a virtual landscape where a village evolves into a metropolis. Graphically represented by a team of architects, every new member creates a change to this landscape. New skyscrapers of virtual apartments soar into the air and cut-scene fly-throughs will be developed to link different features. Membership is free and every member automatically becomes a shareholder in me2everyone Limited: a company with £18m authorised capital and more than enough shares to keep everyone happy.
Members can introduce their friends and earn bonus shares: some people will have networks of several hundred people. They will be able to meet friends, chat, play, watch videos, become a newspaper owner or a journalist, start a record label, open a museum or art gallery, become an enforcer, agony aunt or mentor. They can plant a virtual tree resulting in a real-world forest, buy a virtual house and make money from an online store.me2everyone are also developing a feature to give charities and good causes free inworld publicity and a share of our profits too!
Whenever members interact they can increase their share ownership, creating thousands or tens of thousands of shares with a real-world value. When a member is signed in they are entered into the free “me2everyone lottery” that creates new winners every minute. Every month more than 43,000 people will share 7.9m bonus shares: an effective 2012/13 value of more than £4.6m! me2everyone is a place where real-world entrepreneurs, retail stores, trades people and the whole business community can connect and interact with prospective customers. It’s far more powerful than simple advertising: it’s more of a brokering service to ensure new sales.
Fraud and Cheaters?
OK - this introduces the prospect of fraud and so we are looking at security measures that significantly reduce the chances of this being committed. This will be part computer based, part human vigilance. Fraud comes from members registering dummy accounts: either it their own names (with different contact information) or using the names of cats and dogs for example and then transferring the shares via the trading room to a central name. There are several solutions to this and more to be explored. We are also planning an in-world “police force” and “neighbourhood watch” system (again supplemented by computer systems) to monitor for abuse of all natures, reporting any crimes to relevant authorities. Inworld newspapers and reporting will also name and shame. Age verification is also being explored. Software in certain markets can confirm age and ID, but there are many more countries where its impossible to gain accurate data. At present we are aiming for a minimum age of 16 (with the option of a “Teen” m2e…
Business Members
In-world we have created several thousand potential roles (more than 20,000 so far) and also several thousand connected business ventures earning real-world income. There’s also the option for all members to create additional income in a variety of ways and we anticipate several million people will become involved in these ideas. Please note that this is projected over a 4 year period…. By 2012/13 we envisage 9.7m business members: from sole entrepreneurs and tradesmen to multi-nationals, delivering in-world income streams shared between all members. The strategy is not for discussion here, although income projections for 2009 are £68m before costs. Any member who finds a business member will see real world income: paid immediately…. In fact we’re forecasting the birth of 6,000 entrepreneurs centered purely on finding business members! These numbers are based on a ratio of 19:1 (members to business members) giving a low breakeven on operational costs of just 24 business members per server. The forecast is for 648 business members per server.
IT Infrastructure
Me2everyone has decided to create an agreement with Rackspace (www.rackspace.co.uk / www.rackspace.com) with a team that manages web portals for the British Army, Renault, ITV.com, Vodaphone….. This gives us an enviable bullet-proof website.
Me2everyone Team
Most people either know or can imagine the importance of an effective team behind a business and me2everyone is no different. The long term success of the company will be down to the management and team behind the venture. Below, is a brief description of theFirst Directors of Me2everyone:
1. The first director of the company is LoreKai Limited who will be granted a share option on up to
25% of the shares at par value (£3m) paid partly in cash, services and infrastructure investments.
2. Maureen Foers OBE (Order of the British Empire) has been a company owner since 1971. She is a
fellow of:
- Chartered Institute of Marketing
- Chartered Management Institute
- Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development
- Institute of Directors
- Royal Society for the Arts
- Recruitment and Employment Consultants
Maureen has also represented the CBI (Confederation of British Industry) at SME level at various
international and nation events: something that earned her the OBE in the Queens Birthday
Honours List for 2001.
Maureen brings a mix of good business sense and experience to help shape the company ahead
of a possible stock market listing in 2011/12. Her role will be balanced by IT professionals from
LoreKai Limited.
3. Andy Fisher
Andy was being born when Maureen opened her first company. In a “previous life” Andy spent 16 years working with HM Customs & Excise, working on the frontline in the detection and investigation of prohibited items (drugs, firearms) and in anti-piracy measures. Andy then entered the world of education, managing a school of more than 1200 children. He was responsible for strategic planning across the whole school: from aspects of teaching to building management and working with the local community including the police.
