Listen – Transform Those Aha Moments into Money – The Startup, Ahha, On a Mission

By
Tekedia Editors

Everyone has ideas. But only about 2% of us actually turn our “aha moments” into inventions.

 

Now you can. Thanks to Ahha.

 

Those who submit ideas to the site get suggestions from Ahhha’s community, which can vote the project up and down. Unlike other “crowdfunding” sites, like Kickstarter or RocketHub, in  Ahhha the best ideas, as voted on by the site’s users and determined by Ahhha staff, will be given funding or connections to make the project a reality, CNN Reports.

 

From their official blog

Today is our first official day for opening our doors to all. We know there are an untold number of people out there brimming with all kinds of great ideas. Rather than let your ideas lay dormant, which is too often the case, we hope AHHHA can instead help you move that idea forward to answer the question many people have pondered: what if? What if I had followed that idea I had way back when. At AHHHA, we’d like to help you follow your dream.

 

We believe that the time for social ideation is upon us. What is “social ideation?” Taking a page from Thomas Edison, who applied the principles of mass production and large teams to the process of invention, AHHHA is driving “social ideation”. By harnessing the efficiencies of the Internet and leveraging the wisdom of the crowd, AHHHA’s social ideation platform enables people from all walks of life to stake their claim on that great idea they had. It also enables online collaboration with others who like your idea. Once you submit an idea, you’ll start to receive feedback on what’s missing, suggestions on how to improve upon it, or even better, requests from people as to when and how they can order it! What’s novel about AHHHA is that it’s an online community where you can not only stake a claim in your own idea but you’re encouraged to help others with their own ideas out. In the process, people become contributors to one another’s idea and get to share in its potentially future success as well. The best ideas get voted up and from there, AHHHA will handle the heavy lifting to identify how your idea can be best monetized.

 

Let the social ideation begin!

 

Thank you for checking out AHHHA and let us know what you think.

Now You Can Gist As Much As You Want – Nigerian Startup, Gistcaster, Provides The Platform. Watch Out Nairaland

Africans by nature like talking. We talk a lot and do not like writing. If not, why did the Africans not invent a way of writing until the colonial masters came? Except the Ethiopians, only the colonial lords saved us in that regard.

 

Now, we can continue that tradition of talking. Thanks to Giscaster. Gistcaster is a new robust real-time communication tool which has been described by many as Twitter-done-right and some went further to call it a Twitter-killer. Hmm???
Gistcaster took the basic idea of status updates and extended it into full conversations – No 140 character limit, Full commenting system, Geo location, Groups, and superb privacy settings which lets you decide who-sees-what on a per post basis!  Gistcaster is built around info sharing and discovery based on your current location or from your friends.. that way the fun never stops!

 

And the good one: Gistcaster is 100% FREE to use, No strings attached, although it might be a good idea to check out Terms of service and Privacy Policy. Freedom? Yes,  Hmmmmmm, on Gistcaster, a gist is anything you post, either text, photos or videos.. A gist is every new conversation.

 

We wish the guys good luck and hope they execute their plans very well.

Bulk SMS Is Driving Advertising and Service– These Firms Are Providing Different Services Via SMS

When our parent company acquired a small startup company, SMS Places, in Feb 2011, we had a goal set to helping traders and businessmen connect with the web even while inside the market and away from computer. Our idea was a B2B (business 2 Business) without an immediate engagement will not work in Nigeria since many of the traders are not connected. But SMS could help them if you provide that at good rates. So Fasmicro acquired SMS Places and presently integrating it into our product portfolios designed for traders in Nigeria. It will help them pick web opportunities even when not in the web.

 

Across Nigeria, many SMS firms are coming. It is getting exciting because more people are using SMS than really talking. So tapping SMS has become a great way of doing business. Two companies that have joined this wagon is the SMS Kiosk and Naija Nimi.

 

In different variants, these companies provide services that include personal SMS, corporate messaging, bulk messaging and bulk voice messaging for advertising campaigns, 2-way SMS interface (send and receive) which allows your members reply directly to messages, as well as member alerts.

 

 

As you look for the best way to drive your campaign, SMS could be that strategy. It is something you must not ignore. It is a tool that must be used because it has become very pervasive and more people are indeed texting more often than talking. Your customer service may need be “Thanks for shopping with us” than just ignoring them after the customer has spent thousands of naira in your shop. And you know what, the customer getting that Thanks you SMS means your number is there and she/he can call back later. It is a simple implementation and the Thank You will go after 6 hours of serving the customer.
