Kiqueon Circles Fatigue: The Dark Side Of Google+

I've experienced this "circle fatigue", but it's mainly because the service is new and I'm adding people to my circles on a daily basis as they get invited so it gets kind of irritating having to think which circle 10 people fit in everyday. Once more people come on I don't think it'll be much of an issue? I get like one FB friend request a week so if G+ is similar and I have to put someone into a circle once a week I don't think it's an issue.

Also, if someone doesn't like using the circles then what is stopping them from just putting everyone in one circle?

Kiqueon Tech Products Ahead of Their Time

I feel Wave's problem wasn't the advanced tech, even my mom figured out how to use it pretty easily. The problem I had was that they made it invite only - for a service that needs other people using it for it to work effectively. There were months after I was invited that I still had no one to use it with. Then last summer at my internship we seriously used it all the time to communicate and share between everyone in the office... and then we found out it was being shut down.

Kiqueon Tumblr Backup That Works

I've never had the chance to try it since there isn't a Windows version.

Kiqueon Groupon 1% conversion rate for salons

I'm currently an intern at a large daily deals site. I often hear my bosses talk about if businesses use our site and run deals, they'll attract a new customer base that have never heard of them before. For some types of businesses I can see that being true, but not really for salons. Our biggest sellers our typically salon type services (mani/pedis, hair removal, massages, etc.). Since customers know that these types of deals show up on our sites often, why would they ever pay full price?

Say you got a deal for a $20 mani/pedi and you get great service and everything goes well. A month later you need another one, and you see another deal to a different place for $20 again. Our site, as well as other reputable deal sites, only put businesses that have good feedback online, so the customer is pretty much guaranteed to get a good experience regardless of the salon - giving the customer no incentive to go back to the original salon.
