Some might ask how is this different from Ning.com or Tangler.com?

What are you going to say? How are you going to win? How will you overcome the customer lock in at established competitors?

We think that there are many users that want a web page for their group but don't want to interact online. GroupieGuide is a gets out of the way solution where most of the interaction can be done over e-mail. Visitors don't need to navigate to get the information that they need.

Both ning and tangler focus on building online social interactions through the website. We are trying to cater to the users that have been ignored by social networks.
