GroupGauge Inc. creates and maintains user-generated Web sites to help connect people with the information they need to make informed decisions. The company focuses on personal finance and higher education, important and complex areas of people’s lives that are enhanced by specific, nuanced information exchange.
The newest Web site, http://www.debtspark.com, provides users with a simple tool to assess the current state of their finances. As a starting off point for budgetary novices to understand their monetary health, DebtSpark provides a clear financial snapshot of income, expenses and debt. Users sign up to input personal figures for a calculated monthly surplus or deficit, which can be graphed/tracked over time.
The University Review, http://www.theuniversityreview.com, provides a forum for students, alumni and professors to give feedback on university experiences. Geared toward high school students, the extensive database of over 1,200 institutions provides prospective students with ratings and comments on various aspects of colleges and universities. Shared information and a rating system helps students compare and analyze schools throughout the post-secondary education decision-making process. The company’s upcoming ClearCollege line will target similar interests and demographics.
Finally, On the Jury, http://www.onthejury.com, is more of a social experiment of sorts–an online confessional that allows users to make a confession while peers sit on a jury to decide “guilty” or “not guilty” of the proposed crimes. The site is pure fun and has a loyal following.
