Founded in 2007, with offices in New York City, TrustWorks, Inc. is a privately-held Delaware corporation. Our mission is to improve the value of communications on the internet, by bringing greater transparency to dialogs. By maintaining a confidential profile of each user, in terms of experiences and lifestyle, TrustWorks™ makes private connections between “people with questions” to “people with answers”, within trusted communities.
TrustWorks™ is the solution to privacy in social networking
You want to ask for help, but you don’t know who to ask.
What to do? If you post a question to facebook or your company’s enterprise social network, it goes on a public bulletin board or news feed. You can’t ask anything private. And if you need an immediate answer, the person who can help you might not see your question.
Respect for You, the User
TrustWorks™ doesn’t “learn about you” by reading your emails and documents, it learns about you by asking. Provide as much or as little information as you like. And you can always give permission for any question. Nobody can search through your profile, and you can decline any question without anyone knowing who you are. Or you can have the whole conversation anonymously if you prefer.
Better Conversations
TrustWorks™ makes better conversations just a few clicks away, on any subject personal or professional. Choose a subject, write a question, and the system offers a list of the best-qualified people to answer. For business questions the search finds matches within the company, and for personal questions it is based on social circles and lifestyle similarities. Choose who to ask, and TrustWorks™ directly contacts the person who will answer – by email or SMS text message. (Chat and Voice-Over-IP will be available soon.)
Social Networks are good for sharing vacation photos… TrustWorks™ is for discussions you don’t want to broadcast. The more people we rely on, in different cities and countries, from our friends, family, schools, and businesses, the more we need a private system for having all the conversations that don’t belong on facebook.
No Mass Mailings
When someone in your group has a question, it only gets sent to one person (or a few) who have the right experience to answer. So you won’t get email every time there’s a question, only when someone wants your help.
Benefits to Community
Having a reliable advice-exchange system helps to build community, improve engagement, and facilitate talent management among teams. The TrustWorks™ database comes from each user reporting his or her own areas of experience, and is far more comprehensive than some invasive solutions which read documents and emails to guess at the same information. Anonymity is a cornerstone of the TrustWorks experience, and the option to keep skills or whole conversations private helps users be open to more meaningful exchanges.
