The future is bright
The economy is in bad shape all over the world but things are not so bad in the virtual world. Here on the internet you can get from your favorite florist in NYC to your favorite vineyard in Napa Valley in under a minute! You can't even do that in the Concord. Think about it: Your fuel efficiency in conducting your affairs online is approaching infinity. See if a Prius can match those numbers. No, the future of commerce is online.
Short term goals -- 1 to 12 months
Our short term goals involve increasing our development of open source themes, modules, and module powered RIA's (widgets). This is happening now. We have a few modules already that will be released at Drupal soon. The purpose of this is to gain more exposure in the areas that we are interested in pursuing. Rich internet applications with extensible Drupal services back-ends are where it is at for us! RIA's and services gives your site the ability to be much more interactive and viral. With an RIA you can spread your site's content or services though a very wide number of ways. You can post them at WidgetBox, add them to your MySpace pages, you can add them just about anywhere, and from there they can spread!
Medium term goals -- 1 to 3 years
We foresee our future not as contractors but rather entrepreneurs. We would like to get enough savings/investment together to afford us the chance to work on an idea that we have for what we believe will be an innovative and disruptive evolution in the concept of eCommerce. Our business will enable vendors to interact with one another in new and exciting ways. We think of this strategy as a form of social commerce. We are very interested in getting business partners in this venture. We are also interested in joining others in their ventures as well so if you believe that we might be a good fit for your start-up, please contact us!
Long term goals -- 3 to 10 years
In the long term we would like to use some of the proceeds from our eCommerce business to re-enter the field of investing. Investing is where our hearts really are when all is said and done. Artificial intelligence and computerized data analysis, we believe, are the keys to developing effective and sustainable investing methods. We love investing, but to do it by hand is very emotionally taxing as well as very limiting. We believe that by separating ourselves from the action in this manner will give us the ability to harness the power of the markets without all of the emotional overhead. Eventually, we hope to have a model and computerized system that can enter into virtually all markets simultaneously to maximize diversification and investment safety.
