Pulsosocial Social Media and Entrepreneurship in Latin America

What has been keeping us busy in the last couple of weeks has been a socialatom project called pulsosocial, a blog covering social media, technology and entrepreneurship in Latin America, written in spanish and soon in portuguese.

Why latin america?

We see a lot of growth and opportunity in social media in general, but even more so in Latin America because it has a steeper adoption rate of new media and technologies such as social networks and mobile phones. The game is still up for grabs as social networks like hi5, sonico, facebook and orkut battle it out for the growing latin america market.

While at the same time, we see a lot of potential in latin american startups that has come with an increased interest in entrepreneurship in general. In recent years we have seen more unConference events like BarCamp spring up in countries like Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and others. Argentina for example has Palermo Valley, Barcamp and StartMeUp Argentina.

The Purpose of Pulsosocial

Taking into consideration the rapid growth and adoption of technology and an increased interest in entrepreneurial efforts, pulsosocial aims to become the go-to source for what is going on in the industry as well as to bring together and highlight entrepreneurs and their companies to showcase the explosive growth and opportunitis in Latin America

A humble beginning

The project is still in its early stages, right now we are focusing on producing consistent high quality content and growing our team to eventually have journalists in various latin american countries. We will keep you posted on the progress and be sure to check out pulsosocial.com
