iZoca: A New Way to Organize your Online Groups
iZoca.com, a technology company focused on efficient scheduling and communication, provides a simple way for groups, organizations and individuals to share information, plan events and monitor activities. This new platform features tools which provide groups the ability to effectively communicate and organize both publicly and privately.
What is iZoca?
The name iZoca is derived from the Spanish word “zocalo” meaning a square or plaza where people congregate. iZoca was founded in September, 2007 and is located in New York’s Tech Valley region. This is one of the several companies that has been part of the rise of a “Silicon Valley” hub in the state of New York.
How is iZoca different from Facebook and LinkedIn Groups?
iZoca President and CEO, Jeff Goronkin
iZoca President and CEO Jeff Goronkin states: “We are providing a free platform which allows groups and individuals a new and efficient way to manage schedules and stay connected. It provides users the ability to target information with specific groups in their lives.”
iZoca is focused on simplicity as each group only can manage a calendar, a discussion forum, a document archive, and a photo album. Think of a simplified and no-frills Ning. While this may attract people with busy schedules who want to get things done fast, it may turn off people who are used to play around with HTML coding to give their sites a more personalized feel.
Who uses iZoca?
The company is used mostly by organizations in or nearby the Albany area, for example:
Empire State Youth Orchestra (focuses on use of schedule feature)
WTEN News 10 (focuses on use of discussion feature)
Juliann’s Art Classes (focuses on use schedule and photo features)
