Hedgehogs Digging For Content
November 21, 2014
Have you ever heard of Hedgehogs.net? According to a short introduction video it is:
“Hedgehots.net is social application framework that supports and empowers collaboration within the alternate investments community. Who is it for? It targets four main user groups: investment professionals, service providers, subject matter experts, fund investors. What does it do? Hedgehogs.net uses the power of social media and Web 2.0 technology to facilitate collaborative communication in the virtual world. It is designed to be a disruptive technology and economic force that has the commercial interests of the investment community at its core.”
Neat idea, a community that harnesses the power of social media and Web content to discuss alternate ways to invest money and ways to grow businesses! Browsing through the Web site, you will be bombarded by a pop-up that asks you to take survey and it gets annoying fast. Also reading the content raises an eyebrow too. Most of the blog posts seem centered on a random topic tagged with many keywords. Perusing through them show that there is a collective stream of consciousness that requires more than a second glance to understand. Hedgehogs.net also acts as a news aggregator similar to Fark.com and Reddit.com.
Hedgehogs.net’s purpose is buried somewhere on its page. Whatever and however it is used certainly drives a lot of traffic.
