Hey guys - we're hoping to launch in a few weeks with the vision of providing a micro publishing platform for businesses & organizations.
The 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
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.

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.

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?
