Krillix

So reviewing PR material since my last post, I found an online social network called Krillix. http://www.krilix.com/ This social network is similar to Facebook or Myspace but for commercial use. This social network was a project for college students that went ahead and put it into effect and it took off as a customer relations outlet for businesses. By subscribing and creating a profile on the social networking site, businesses can keep in touch with customers through txt messaging and creating ways for customers to know what businesses are doing from simple promotional sales (one day only sales) or advance screenings of events that local businesses will be hosting (guest speakers or limited quantity products).
