What good is a Foursquare check-in if it doesn’t lead to a coupon or freebie? Why bother tweeting about a brand you like if they don’t acknowledge your undying love and loyalty? With TechCrunch Disrupt finalist SocialStock, those types of actions may now be rewarded…or at least that’s the company’s vision. The service, founded by Subbu Rama, aims to be a stock market for people and places which assigns a point value to users’ social networking actions. Mimicking the framework of a real stock market, those actions become shares and then those shares can turn into real-world rewards from participating business or brands.
We’ll be very focused on our customers.
We have a leading position in health-care IT. We’ll build out vertical expertise like that.
We have a security business that’s now worth about a billion dollars. We’ll keep building out the solutions. Secondly, we’ll build out our sales force and channel partnerships. There’s a lot of customers we haven’t reached yet.
And then we have services like Boomi that helps their customers integrate their SaaS applications like Salesforce with their on-premise applications.
