Re: Review my Startup: Populr.me (Professional Micro-publishing Platform)
#2The original vision was to create a platform that made it easy for delivering a pre/post sales response in an attractive and engaging method. Basically, I wanted to deliver whatever the prospect asked with video, files, images, etc. I hated boiling everything down to a 5 paragraph email with 4 attachments.
Over the past few years, I noticed a trend towards 1 page websites - they were easier to create and easier to consume. As I explored this 'micro publishing' concept, I started to see new sites appear like http://Pen.io, http://OneSheet.com, etc
Even in the past year, consumer driven sites like http://CheckThis.com, http://Smore.com, and http://Tackk.com have emerged thus underscoring this trend towards tight one page publishing.
I've called this pages POPs for a long time (Published One Pager or Public/Private One Pager). The idea, for me at least, is that if you could empower people to create POPs that looked nice & allowed you to easily share/track... perhaps they could alter how we communicate online.
Since we've launched our alpha, we've seen over 40+ ways users are communicating with POPs - well beyond sales.
So, thoughts?
Here are some inspirations we've made based on what the alpha group has uncovered.

Questions are welcome. I'm trying to figure out the best way to position this. Is it a simpler Wordpress? A sales communication tool? Simple CMS?
