MySpace, ByeSpace... but now there's thatseasy.co.za

Wall Street Journal may be predicting the demise of MySpace (MySpace, BySpace by Vauhini Vara, published 26 Oct 2006) but that's just making the South African entrepreneurs behind recently launched www.thatseasy.co.za rub their hands with glee.

"MySpace and Facebook and Friendster have made the mistake of allowing advertising on the site which increases spam," says Kenneth Nel of recently launched thatseasy.co.za, "At www.thatseasy.co.za we don't allow any adverting and our privacy policy means our clients will never find their details have been passed onto third parties."

Thatseasy.co.za products include EasyBiz, EasyBlog and EasyScrapBooking, as well as EasySMS and MMS campaigns. "For R30 a month you get a four-page website that you can update yourself if you can copy and paste from Word. For an extra R37.50, you get one e-mail address and your own domain. No contract, no rip off and no spam."

Customers also have the option of upgrading to a more extensive site for R250 per month which will give them 150 free SMSes and access to their own shopping basket. Another bonus is that customers will get notified via SMS everytime an order is placed on their site, perfect for SMMEs and budding entrepreneurs who don't have Internet access 24-7.

Nel also points out that visitors to the EasyBlogs and EasyScrapBooking are by invitation only (from the client), so clients will not be inundated with requests from people sending 'friend requests'.
