I prefer the original viva street with the features compared but will try at a later date. Will you phase viva street out in the future as prefer this?. As am so used to it now after a few years. Also why not keep both sites?. An established one. Whether the clients take to it is another story as to being successful. I know say it becomes popular it will be charged for like viva. It is only a new thing so getting interest. But really if it works clients contact me from the same as on viva or will be leaving the new site. So looking at it in the long run new paying escorts could lose. As there is no point paying without a good return. That is the way looking at it. Some others might agree.
I am paying enough viva suits me better.
If viva is successful why change? For a social style look one with a new website. That doesn't look to me like viva at all.
With the new one it looks a bit like fb style with the statuses. I am sure a few clients it will remind them of. Especially if they don't do fb it might put them off. We have twitter etc for status. In the long run not sure about it.
It will be interesting to read about the success.
Hi MeetingDiversity,
Thank you for taking the time to provide some feedback, to address some of your questions;
Vivastreet being phased out? - dont worry there are no current plans in place to replace VS with the new website, we also have no plans to stop expanding and developing the 'escort' section - in fact we are accelerating the development of the 'escort section' on VS.
As you say we may be able to run both sites in the adult space as they will have a different look and feel, but likewise in the longer term (many many years!) the new site may have developed into a more popular destination.
The new site becoming popular / successful? - we know from reading the Saafe forum (among others) that a lot of people come from time to time with new sites and outright AW clones to try and take some of AW market share (most if not all unsuccessful). We cant guarantee any site will be successful, but we have learnt a lot from VS and EM sites and actually rather than build something that is a copy of existing sites we wanted to try a new spin on things - we hope it will work of course!
We are also planning to market the new site and being an 'adult' only website unlike VS, this makes our lives much easier.
Its worth repeating the new site is not complete, we have many more features to come - which we hope you will like and use as we develop the site. As you mention we do intend to add revenue features to the new site at some point, however the items in the pipeline are more aimed at users than posters.
Hope we have answered your questions so far and thanks again for the feedback.
Thank you,
The Vivastreet Team - Finny
