A few years ago, In 1991, Tim Berners-Lee implemented hypertext over a network for the first time, creating the Internet's first web page and starting the era that is now referred to as "Web 1.0", the web as information. Those first web pages took years to develop into what we consider the real Web 1.0 pages, sites that presented users with a wealth of information, but no way to interact with it.
William Mobley, CEO of Web2Corp, stated: "Websites like flickr.com, YouTube.com, Craigslist.com, Joost.com, and any other hot Web 2.0 property are all very limited. They're social media, yes, but they only deal with one aspect of media. flickr.com is a photo site, YouTube does video, and eBay is auctions and sales. You don't have convergence, you don't have synergy of content. Pipes are trying to provide users with that kind of seamless experience across the whole offering of social applications, but they haven't really been able to make it click yet. YouGetIt.com compiles every social application out there and more into one site that is media-rich and easily tagged, commented upon, linked, and cross-linked. It's all aggregated in one spot, with delivery and content determined by the user. It's a new type of aggregation: self-aggregation. We've moved beyond Web 2.0 and are launching Web 2.1. We're finally beginning to approach what Tim O'Reilly calls the "Semantic Web". The Internet's about to be revolutionized, and we're starting by inviting media, major tech writers, and bloggers to come see what the next big thing is."
The two companies, Web2Corp and Nextelligence, Inc. worked together to carry on this ambitious project, over a year in development, and are preparing to invite media outlets to visit it starting on April 16, 2007. YouGetIt.com offers internet users a rich, dynamic experience that can be infinitely customized and is closely tied to mobile devices. Users are able to place any internet RSS feed on their home page, just like Google's home page, but the site's functionality extends far beyond that. The ability to browse and search through people, businesses, events, news, sales, video, pictures, blogs, classifieds, and more, all taggable, commentable, and organized by zip code into local, regional and national distribution.
Andre Forde, President of Web2Corp, added: "YouGetIt.com is the social media supersite, it's more than just social media. It's local, hyperlocal, as local as the user wants. At any time, with any search or dialogue, the user can expand or restrict the area that YouGetIt uses to return results. This is the first website to tie such an aggressive local presence across the whole nation, and then also implement such rich support for mobile devices. Virtually every person, place or thing on the site can be used to create alerts that are sent to your phone through e-mail or SMS. If a user wants to get traffic alerts on her phone so that she knows what roads are least congested when she's going to and from work, or school, or the store, it's a simple process to do so. If a guy wants to follow a news story closely, he can get alerts to his phone when news breaks. YouGetIt.com has something for every internet user, all of the time."
