		<description>I think you are right on the money that the experienced marketers who have not succeed yet is a great target market.  There are a lot of them, and they need help, and they are not committed yet to one host company, and they need related services such as conferencing and blog development.

Also agree that simplicity and quality control are key.  I have had problems in the past with Kiosk and other hosts trying to understand what the heck the tech is telling me to do.  But I know that this is something you have worked on and will continue to see as priority while many other hosting services just don&#039;t get it.

Make it very clear to differentiate yourselves from Hostgator and other sites out there-- especially value added services and you really understand online marketers and their needs.

I agree that making it a community effort is very unique and builds loyalty. I wouldn&#039;t miss a blog post and I appreciate the opportunity to comment and participate.

Great plan guys!

		<description>Teaching &amp; educating people how to use the product,create some videos on kiosk use.I only use simple hosting and websites,would like to use kiosk but am not confident.
Everybody wants their own website,they would join if there was a step by step education process to create your website and hosting.
these blogs are great as they build your relationship with people.people want to belong.</description>

		<description>Hi Mike/Joel,

Enjoyed the video and update.  Lots of comments on this and good ones at that.

Mike, I&#039;ve read some of your replies and happy to hear there will be some &quot;turnkey&quot; features to help people get going.

Not a fan of hype and good to hear the new look for GVOcom and HC will not come across that way.  I think your products offer real value.

Where MLM fails as an industry is people looking for an income or business opportunity do not know how to market.  Typical marketing is getting to hotel or home meetings like you mentioned.  Or, everybody is a possible business partner!

Far from the truth, not everyone wants to be a business person or seek a business opportunity.

But, some may still have a need for your product.  

So, I think it&#039;s important to offer your products to Customers or Business Opportunity seekers.

The challenges all of us face are this:
Technical - how to use GVO products, conferencing, hosting, create a site, video etc..

Marketing Tools - how to promote and market on the internet to identify the people suffering the &quot;pain&quot; or frustrations that GVO products offer solutions.

Not sure how much the Turnkey will help or address these.  Possibly some of the training you&#039;ve mentioned.

P.S. the community feeling is an important value not to be overlooked.  Will there be a possibility of weekly Technical and Marketing conference meetings?

Looking forward to the Re-launch of both products.

		<description>Well I figure I should put in my 2 cents worth, (CDN cents.. not worth much) BUT I have to agree 100% with post #38, I&#039;ve been with KIOSK since 03 and HC 04 and online forever (1995) and I just don&#039;t get it, you&#039;ve spent years building and BRANDING KIOSK, why would you even think of changing it. There&#039;s nothing wrong with the name KIOSK, it&#039;s a known and trusted name... 

As for the flash HC, personally don&#039;t get that either. It might work for users other then PC&#039;s but the original software works way better and I think you should be developing more features for it, like the phone option you were going to add before, or an alert button to let you know someone is in your room, etc...  And I also agree 100% with post #42: Bring back Chet, he does an excellent job, and lets not forget that he&#039;s very thoughtful, knowledgeable, and an all round great person.. BUT not in the flash room, the software version works WAY better even on dial-up.

I also don&#039;t know why you stopped using it for support, if you had a problem, log-in, talk with one of your awesome support team, problem solved.

Video&#039;s.... what can I say, they are a great tool for those on high speed but leaving us poor saps on dial-up in the dark. Would be nice to know what&#039;s happening. No clue.

Ok, I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a few things I&#039;ve missed and probably more then 2 cents (USD) worth, but it&#039;s my CDN dime eh!

P.S.  How&#039;s the weather down there? 

Take care,
Al</description>
