Showcase Networks

To accomplish our mission and vision,Blue Voice Enterprises has developed two platforms that work together as one integrated system for collaboration and promotion.

Platform One:The CACOON-“ The Creative Arts Center of Online Open Sourced Networks”

CACOON is a social media network built specifically for innovators, social entrepreneurs and creatives to share ideas, explore possibilities, collaborate and inspire a new vision of our future.

Platform Two: Showcase Networks

Showcase Networks is a social multimedia platform that promotes the expansion of creative works of CACOON members by highlighting their process of innovation and inspirations of science, technology, business, art, and social entrepreneurship.

How the System Integrates

We take notice of the innovations and creativity within the cacoon social media network and then promote our members and their projects on our digital streaming multimedia network we call showcase networks.

CACOON

” Create Your Reality”

What it is

CACOON at its earthy core is a social media website that connects people together with other people and resources to achieve common goals. Here’s how it works:

Create a Profile

Upload pictures of yourself, list your skills, available resources and special interests, display links to past projects that you’ve been a part of. Tell us what you’re looking to do and we’ll enter you into the talent pool. When new opportunities arise that fit your interests and abilities, you’ll receive an email notification with an invitation to view a project. Join a project, meet new people and create something!

 

 

PROJECT WIDGET

Create a Project

Ready to innovate? We’ll walk you through a simple and intuitive process of creation that organizes your ideas into scalable projects. These projects are then introduced into the CACOON network.

 

Ask & Give

During the process of project creation, you’ll identify what type of people, places and things you need to create your dream. You’ll also identify your primary objectives, motivators and inspirations, and determine what you’re willing to give in exchange by what you have in skills, talents or resources. Whether it’s trading for experience, barter of goods and services, community credits (E-Points) or plain old money, we’ll hook you up with members who’ve got just what you need, for the price you’re asking.

 

Community Resource Tree (CRT)

Our advanced resource matching application is the magic behind the whole show. We take your project and pass it through the CRT, which scans the entire catalogue of talented CACOON members and matches the right people and resources up to your project for you. You can also browse through the community to see what other people are up to, make connections, and find inspiration.

 

The Fruits of Your Labor

Sit back, relax and let the community come to you. We’ll create a customizable project page for you and send notifications to all the CACOON members who fit the criteria you’ve outlined in your project. Your project page has all the details of your project and a forum for correspondence and idea swapping. If people are interested they’ll ask to join the project.

 

 

LEARN WIDGET

Development Tools

Educating for the future. That’s our goal. That’s why we offer tools for self, business, and artistic development, available to all CACOON members. For example, enroll in the Independent Artist Program to help you turn your passion into a sustainable career. Enroll in our Community Build Program to learn from professionals how to make your project come to life. Need more knowledge? Try browsing our user-generated content library. Social entrepreneurs, artists, innovators of all kinds, we’ve got the tools you need to succeed.
