Coming in 2014: StandMotv8d: Hyperlocal news delivered in seconds

StandMotv8d is a hyperlocal social/news network for 18 to 30 year olds to meet and discuss various topics through an innovative platform.

Who is this for: The young adults of Manhattan, Fort Riley,  Junction City, KS and the surrounding areas. 18 to 30 year olds.

What is this: A forum for young adults to read/talk about local news.

Why are we doing this: There really is no place on the internet where a hyperlocal forum for twentysomethings exists.

Why do they want this: Talking to other young adults about various things is easier. Sure they have friends of the same age, but that is the problem. Talking to someone new and older can make a world of a difference.

Why this area: Between K-state, the high schools, and Fort Riley, there are many young adults.

Where: K-state, Fort Riley, Saint X, Junction City high.

When: ???

What forum: ???

In 2014, I hope to launch a forum catered to young adults. A place where news is delivered by professional journalists in an engaging way. Young people don't read anymore. Why is that? Simple: mobile has become the go-to and newspapers deliver yesterday news.

This is a world where people know what happens seconds after it happens.

Why only young adults? Old people have newspapers. What do young adults have? Twitter, facebook? Yes. However, it's not localized.

If I can sum this up in one sentence: Hyperlocal news delivered in seconds.

(patent/trademark pending)
