Gemilo Social Is A One Stop Shop For Your Communication Needs
Gemilo Social is a product created by the Tampere based Finnish startup, Gemilo. The product features a multitude of different possibilities, but the main focus of it is in improving organisational effectiveness and through that, productivity. Like its name, the product harnesses many social features and uses those so organisations can share documents, images and comment on those - taking communication away from e-mail. Also, at the core level, each user is given a “virtual desktop” as a window to use the service.
Gemilo Launches Reign Of Elements
Gemilo, a Finnish social media startup, has launched a Facebook application (or a game to be more precise) called Reign of Elements. The game was launched on 24th of October and in 4 days accumulated around 2200 members.
Gemilo activated 10 players of another game and gave them tools to create objects, weaponry, areas, enemies, etc. When the game launched, the crowdsourced designers had created an entire game on the platform that Gemilo provided. Furthermore, there is no common way to play the game as the designers and players themselves update a wiki where information on the game is shared.
The game seems to work pretty nicely and is a nicer form of text based RPG. There are small interesting details that add charm to the game, such as the slowly increasing stamina if you stay put. It will be interesting to see how the game takes off with the new Facebook design as I'm guessing the application usage in general has slowed down somewhat due to less visibility.

Gemilo introduces Xmas calendar 2.0
Gemilo Oy is launching a tool for creating advent calendars based on user-generated content and tags. The service is called 24päivää.fi (24days) and is due to launch as Beta in November (Beta testers being recruited). The users can comment and rate content, as well as compose different kinds of new content combinations for their calendars.
Co-founder Katri Lietsala, also known as the leader of the PARTECO social media business opportunities research project, says 24päivää.fi is unique in that it gives the users the possibility to choose what the calendar looks like and what will be shown in each door, all based on user-generated content. A commercial version of the calendar tool might also be launched, targeted at firms' stakeholder and customer communications.
Gemilo concentrates on social media productions and consulting. The business idea is helping firms to evaluate how to implement and optimize social media and adapt the best solutions. No outside investors are involved currently.
