Thanks to our great Genieo team for making this video!

Most new ideas, however good, take some getting used to.
As a web content provider you know that coming up with great content, developing it as best as possible and launching it with the loudest hoo hah is unfortunately not enough for it work it's magic on the users.  Not immediately anyway.
Users take their time in getting used to new things, explore and understand their numerous yet not always upfront benefits, and in time develop a need for it… so even if you mange to get all the users possible to experience your content, you still have to have means to make them stick to it long enough in order to make them stay and pay.
Stickiness is revenue, and what you need is revenue glue.

Genieo can provide that for you.

According to our statistics, Genieo's personalization platform proves to be a very effective tool in increasing website stickiness. Users are attracted to personalized page content by sheer curiosity and the outstanding results provided by Genieo in form of automatically and accurately filtered web content according to users' specific individual interest seem to work wonders on visitors loyalty and recency as well as maintain low attrition rates.
Statistics show that over three quarters of users return to their Genieo personal Homepage, nearly half using it on a daily basis with an average user viewing time of 1.5 hours – this represents a watershed in terms of website stickiness.

These statistics were acquired using Google Analytics and are based on over 5,000 test case users who installed Genieo’s homepage.
Visitor loyalty stats show that the average user spent 1 hour and 27 minutes connected to their Genieo Homepage, and that in reference to the total amount of visits recorded - 76% of which were returning users while 24% were new visitors.

With respect to recency statistics (measuring the amount of time in between visits), 53% of Genieo users returned to their page on the same day for repeat use, 6.6% returned only once a day, 3.2% returned every two days and 2.6% every three days.  Just 24% visited their page only once.

During March 2010, attrition rate stats showed that only 35% of Genieo users left after the first or second use.  42% of current users are still visiting their page on a daily basis, even after multiple uses.  23.9% visited the site only once, 11% visited just twice, while 7.4% of current users have visited their page 9-14 times; 9% have visited 15-25 times, 10% have visited 51-100 times, and 6.3% have visited 101-200 times.

The nature of Genieo's personalized Homepage, as well as the fact that Genieo is a desktop application which continually updates users with content most important to them, make it become a significant part of their day to day internet experience. Statistics also show that users prefer Genieo’s Homepage to many other personalized homepages distributed by software companies.

So if you've got a new idea and you're looking for way to make it stick and so increase your revenues, Genieo is something you should look into...

Last Friday I met with Tom Foremski, the editor of Silicon Valley Watcher to share with him my point of view of privacy and behavioral targeting software. Mmm... OK... we were also talking (a lot) about Genieo, you can read the full story here.



It's just warm my heart to meet people like Tom and Don Dodge from Google, that are willing to give and share some good advice.


Sometimes it's just the little things that get me excited about people.
So it's time to say thank you to a great people I met in a normal rainy day in San Francisco.

Throughout the development of Genieo, our vision was to give people the option to think free. For me personally, Genieo has lived up to my expectations and made this vision as real as I have imagined it way back then.
Now our task is to make Genieo available to as many people as possible, and Chrome, being the 3rd most widely used web browser was high on our list.

Today, I'm proud to announce that we have launched a new version of Genieo which is fully compatible with the Chrome browser, and Chrome users are now welcome to join in the Genieo experience and open up to their world of information on this freeway of thinking.
So welcome aboard all Chrome users.

As of today Genieo can do all of it for you and in a completely automatic environment which requires zero input from you. All you have to do is be there and enjoy it.

Thank you Robert! it was great meeting you... finally ;-)

As the CEO of a young startup company I must keep up with market trends and follow any changes which may be of concern to the strategy of my company, as wise people would say: it's always better to know than to guess.

Genieo is the smart application I've always dreamed of.  With all the wealth of information available to me all around the web, I could actually use the help of a smart, automatic tool which can think ahead for me and predict what I want to know at any given time.

So I started up a company to help me realize this dream, and named it Genieo.
The Genieo application is designed to study my online behavior and automatically generate a start page based on all my favorite sources of information, tweets, blog posts of my Facebook friends, and any other information sources which match my current areas of interest.

Genieo analyzes my online behavior, and based on my individual choices, it creates specifically  for me, a list of sources from all my favorite news portals and other trusted sources (RSS feeds), knowing automatically which are my topics of interest, and accordingly digging and discovering the best stories for me. Genieo also follows the changes in my interests and automatically adjusts my list of sources, opting feeds in and out to match my relevant reading habits. Genieo will do all this for me and much more while maintaining complete privacy and requiring zero management.

People are so accustomed to do so much in order to get what they want, that I'm often being asked questions such as: how can I import my RSS list from my old RSS readers? or how do I add new RSS feeds to Genieo in order to take advantage of Genieo's smart personalization engine? And my reply is always: nothing. Genieo automatically finds, filters and organizes these for you. Unlike other readers that require you to add or remove RSS feeds and manually preset your favorite topics, with Genieo you don’t have to lift a finger. It simply does all this work for you with its fully automatic RSS management capabilities.
So with Genieo you do not ever have to manually manage your favorite list of sources.  

You can choose to use Genieo as your startpage or as a place you go to in order to catch up with your world. Even if you are an advanced user, using Feedly on other readers of your choice, you can still use Genieo to personalize your news stream. 
In this post I would like to share with you the Genieo experience and show you how to combine it with your favorite reader. 
So in order to take your Genieo personalization experience with you, follow the next steps and join this new revolution in terms of keeping up with your world. 
1. First download Genieo in order to see your digital reflection. To do so, click Here . 
2. Click on the Download green button and follow the instructions. 
3. The installation process takes around 20 min, at which time, Genieo analyzes your online behavior based on your browsing history on Chrome, FireFox and IE.
Don’t worry about any privacy issues. One of the great things about Genieo as a desktop application is that it keeps all your information encrypted on your local PC, so no one has any access to your private data, profiling information and such. 
4. After the installation is completed, you can use Genieo's start page as a window to your own personal world, or as I previously mentioned, you can take your personal Genieo experience to your favorite RSS reader.
