We are currently developing a new Brain Gain Network webservice that will deliver radically improved content, community and professional networking/collaboration tools for your benefit. In Brain Gain Network 2.0, we plan to offer a unique online environment designed to help Filipino professionals and entrepreneurs around the world achieve success in the fiercely competitive global economy. We also envision BGN 2.0 to facilitate philanthropic and socially responsible projects, ventures and exchanges for a healthier, stronger Philippines.

We are inviting you to participate in a survey that will help us know how best to architect this new and improved incarnation of BGN. If you complete and turn in survey responses on or before Thursday, July 3, 2008, that will win you exclusive access to a premium package of substantive e-excerpts from books that have content aligned with BGN 2.0’s charter.

Brain Gain Network – Reloaded ;)

I have been working with the Brain Gain Network (www.bgn.org) for 2 years already – and I must say that it opened my eyes to so many opportunities for success and growth for Filipinos everywhere. I get to work with people like Paco Sandejas (Managing Partner of Narra VC), Dickie Gonzales (CEO of Philippine Emerging Startup Open), Bill Luz (Executive Vice President of Ayala Foundation), and the likes. I even met Dado Banatao! I feel blessed because it’s not a chance every 23-year old could get ;)

For so many months, our team (Paco, JJ, Rhea and I) have been conceptualizing on how we want the next version of the BGN website would be – admittedly the current website is not very user-friendly (as most of our users have commented). But aside from that, we still need to know what the users think, because we want the users to be part of this whole process from beginning to end ;) And with that said, we are creating a survey that aims to gather information from more BGN users to help us improve the website – in terms of UI, content, services, etc. I’ll post the link here as soon as it’s ready and available :) I hope you take 10 minutes to respond to the survey ;)

I am very excited for this project – as we are getting very serious about it, and just like Rhea described it, we’re “intense” right now ;) There are so many things we want to get done – i cant reveal the details yet ;) And it wont be ‘yet-another-social-network’ :)

I tell you, its going to be great! :D

Will post more soon ;)
