UWEMP - A Web Site to Network Interesting and Inspirational People
We are proud to announce the launch of a project we have been working on over the past couple of months…Uwemp (http://www.uwemp.com).
Jordan Wolfe, founder of Uwemp says, “Uwemp is an open-source, online community focused on building out a network of interesting and inspirational people to share their success stories and accomplishments with an emphasis on ‘The Journey’ and the wisdom and insight people have gained from their experiences. The content can touch on any topic that you find interesting. We are excited about changing lives every day, and what better forum to do it then through inspirational stories that provides others with the necessary support and resources to fulfill their dreams and goals in life.”
“Identify someone you find interesting (mom, dad, boss, co-worker, clergyman, athlete, movie star), chat with them and log his/her story on the website in a well-written, short-form format. The featured story on the home page is the exact type of content we are looking for. We have an editing team so do not be shy and post whatever you would like (including videos).
My goal for www.uwemp.com is for it to become a worldwide movement where we can help individuals go for their dreams by providing them with the necessary inspiration and resources. Our mission broadly identified on the website is: ‘Utilize technology alongside personal interaction to foster innovation and enable the public to do extraordinary things that shape the world we live in today.’”
