Cagora
Cagora is coming and its going to be big … why am I talking about it on a Spa site, when in effect its an internet product? Well its because I want to share the excitement that is Cagora because its different and it promises to be a ‘One Stop Shop’ with amazing potential to affect how we use the Internet in the future and therefore affects everybody. It has a win:win philosophy and has been built ‘by the people for the people’.
What is Cagora?
Good question … The easiest way to describe it is as an Online Market Place/Community Centre where everyone hangs out … And here’s some of what it contains:
- Business – trading in your niche market
- Education – want to run an educational program then you can have a space with visual / speaking and chatting facilities
- Encyclopedia – check out any information
- Forum – get together and discuss the latest ‘hot topic’
- Market Place – find any service you currently use online
- Meeting Rooms – call a meeting to discuss your next business strategy
- Seminars – hold seminars to reach your wider audience
- Shopping – everything under one roof
- Social – get together and hang out with family and friends locally, nationally and internationally
- Training – run a training course and get your colleagues up-to-date with the latest ‘in-house’ information
- Videos – upload your latest business promo’s or your wackiest moments
- Workshops – facilitate practical ‘hands-on’ workshops where participants can engage and follow along in ‘real’ time
To name but a few … It has everything we currently use and more and has been almost a decade in its creation. Where we currently visit Facebook, MySpace, eBay, Amazon, YouTube and other familiar friends, it will all be accessible in closer proximity like a ‘traditional’ market, with just one username and password to gain access … So you can more easily bump into friends, family, business colleagues and workmates.
It’s simple, just log on and thats it … whatever you want to check out online will be viewable right there under the Cagora Umbrella …
Web 2.0 – Social Networking
Yes its very exciting and not only to Online Businesses, because Web 2.0 is being increasingly recognised as a key marketing feature for ALL business’ going forwards. There is a slow realisation by many so-called ‘offline’ business’ who are recognising a market potential through customer connection available on the net.
What Web 2.0 does is enable a Business to talk to potential and ongoing Customers, and more importantly it allows Customers to have a look at a Business before they stop to purchase and decide on the ‘cut of their jib’. This has wonderful potential for companies to become more market accountable.

We are going to explore Essential Oils in great detail … including the reasons for using the ‘real mccoy’ and the benefits of their application … either through burning in a water-filled receptacle or by direct application to the skin.
I know when I first heard this it gave quite a jolt … I think at that time I simply hadn’t made that connection, between our internal physiology and the external of everyday living … the ’state’ of our internal body having a great impact on the quality of our external lives.
There is nothing like a scented candle to draw us back into a room and make direct contact with our senses …
Candles were used long before the power of electricity was discovered and therein lies an aspect of how remarkable they are to have withstood the test of time. And they continueto make their presence felt today despite modern technology.
