A sticky vision of web 2.0

Posted by gordon on August 18th, 2007

Youtube, Facebook, Myspace and now what is probably the Hunter’s only contribution to the exciting world of Web 2.0 – Stickytickets

What is it? Well ‘Stickytickets’ is a social networking website offering to publish, promote and sell your next event online like private parties, fundraisers, reunions, school excursions, sporting events, rock gigs, business seminars and/or workshops, group holidays, comedy nights, raves, award nights…infact any type of event.

If you have a free event, you can use Stickytickets to promote your event, send invitations and take registrations. There is no booking fee on free event registrations.

Registered event organiser have their own space to promote themselves or their events, ability to structure different types of tickets and pricing levels such as early bird pricing, member/non member pricing, group packages.

And if you decide to charge they except all types of credit cards and automatically handle the transaction, so you don’t need to get your own merchant facilities and payment gateways.

The only downside is that Australia doesn’t have the venture captialists that would support this type of exciting start-up company.

I say this company has a great opportunity. I just wonder how I can secure a few shares before it hits the big time…

Not only do we have a KEVIN07 website, but we have the Australianlabor Youtube video channel and Kevin Rudd’s Offical Myspace page, all integrated.

Here’s a peak at a couple of Kevin’s Youtube video clips:
