This is a really interesting piece and I really hope that this article brings it a fair level of attention. The goal is to provide the people of Seattle who already have access to the internet with a better understanding of their local media and the internet as a whole. It takes care of all of the work that has been done at each local (and nation-state) municipal website to create a national blog that provides local real estate professionals with an overview of everything to look at.

I wrote a piece for this same blog and it is very good.
And I feel that it is very important that Seattle has a blogosphere that can offer the people, the press, and the internet access a fair and balanced piece. I hope this is an example of how best to connect individuals, small-scale journalists, and even large groups of those with very different agendas in the Seattle tech community which is to a whole different point of view. This can’t happen fast enough for the real world and Seattle needs to do better.”

I wrote my own little blog.
I have a background in business and I wanted to give people a good look at what I was doing, and then I wanted to bring the work to you in a way which was interesting.

I just wrote a blog post in which I talk about how I was being used by the Seattle tech industry and the Seattle startup community to get people thinking about this. It’s really awesome. It just shows so much in my blogging. I wrote this like it was an ongoing blog. I did this to get people interested in it, and the blog seemed to be trying to help people. It’s pretty funny.

After the blog posted, I sent emails to all the bloggers on what I planned to do next with this project. I also did an AMA on the blog. It felt really good.
This is actually the second time I actually did this but I think it was on the first day I did this.
If anyone has any other thoughts on how we should approach this, I would love to hear about them.

Everyscape has entered the industry of virtual tourism; this industry and Everyscape are both in the growth stage. Everyscape’s product is not in the embryonic stage since it has gone past the idea stage and is already a usable product. This industry is still in infancy and growing, therefore there is a lot of opportunity to still be explored such as further expanding the technology and scope of the industry. The challenges of this industry mostly involve the cost of start up and development of the software, but also include the challenge of getting the product out in the open and to the target market. However this can be overcome with some strategic marketing. The challenges and opportunities of this industry can be more analyzed with “Porters Five Forces Model.” The five criteria for this model show that this is a good industry to get involved with; the threat of new entrants and the threat of substitutes are low due to the high start up costs and the technological demand required. The bargaining power belongs to the suppliers as this is a unique product with little competition therefore the rivalry among firms is almost non-existent; though it is not as detailed as Everyscape, Google Earth may provide some competition.
At the present moment there are very little competitors of this firm; as mentioned previously, Google Earth may provide some competition but their product is not nearly as detailed as Everyscape’s. Everyscape also provides the opportunity of window shopping, apartment hunting and viewing the interior of structures. The customers of this enterprise cover a wide range, from businesses, to disabled individuals unable to travel, or just the average person simply interested in some virtual exploring. The demand for travel will always be prevalent, the ability to travel from your own home is still a very new idea and thus the demand for this product is between embryonic and growth. Due to this product being so new, it is in the early adopters- early majority stage since it is past the innovation stage and moving on to becoming a product. Once it becomes more mainstream the demand will likely increase.
The strengths of Everyscape’s product lies in its versatility; it can be accessed anywhere there is an internet connection and it can be used by anyone. As well the product can be used for a number of purposes, from business trip planning to just out of curiosity. The weaknesses of this product are mostly due to the limited number of locations it has in its database right now, there are only 8. Once more cities and locations are added this product has a much better chance of
