JUPITER, Fla., July 21 FL-BlueGoose-Web2.0
JUPITER, Fla., July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Goose Media LLC announces the
perfection of microfinancing and direct donation in the Web 2.0 platform.
The social networking-social entrepreneurial site (www.bluegoosenews.com)
now offers full transparency between donor and recipient with technology it
envisioned and developed with ONESite, one of the nation's premier
functionality providers, and Web developers csnglobal.
The feature, termed a "tip jar" is Blue Goose's seamless, secure and
user-friendly method of directed contribution to move money around within the
"collective digital campfire" as Blue Goose envisions itself.
Users can tip bloggers, finance tuitions and charities will benefit from
low administrative overhead. They can donate directly and see the results
almost immediately through a tracking facility and video and audio uploads
from recipients, most of whom will be suggested by the users themselves.
Individual accounts are set up by credit card with the balance solely
tracked as proprietary information to the subscriber and the site's
accountants.
Industry-standard security
The funds will be held in a segregated bank account, with proprietor's
oversight.
A history of transactions, deposits and disbursements to bloggers,
charities, individuals and causes will be accessible only by the user through
a password-protected, secure control panel. Printouts of the transaction
history will serve as receipts.
The function is based on industry standard security protocols and is SSC
certified, a common set of security standards for use by entities that
process, store or transport payment card data.
Evolution of the concept
The "tip jar" function evolved from Blue Goose's research that people
today, especially Americans and American youth, are dissatisfied and
distrustful with the established vehicles of social activism-top-heavy
bureaucratic charities and equally inefficient government attempts to ease
suffering and offer opportunity.
Blue Goose accepts the challenges of making micro-lending and direct
donations efficient and accountable. The "tip jar," because of its unique
functionality and total transparency, will allow donors to connect with
recipients through audio and video uploads. They will be able to "follow the
money" to its destination.
Blue Goose maintains it will change Web 2.0 social networking and social
entrepreneurship by offering users the self-satisfaction of a personal site to
express their individuality and simultaneously make them part of something
bigger than themselves.
Blue Goose is currently raising $1.5 million in start-up funds through a
private initial offering.
