Buzvia Blog

Every once in a blue moon, the stars align just right and I find a truly wonderful resources for entrepreneurs such as myself who can’t see living any other type of lifestyle. MysteryCEO.com shares that passion for living outside of ones comfort zone!

MysteryCEO.com Background

Sure, this site can also be managed by a business genius working midnight shifts at the local burger joint flipping burger in-between reading business books. By the same degree, this could be written by the founder of a company most of us are familiar with but that’s besides the point. This is a really inspirational and informative blog written by… you guessed it… a (maybe) mystery CEO! I think keeping their identity is a great marketing coup of it’s own but the content keeps (at least me), always hungry for MORE! Another fact is that this guy knows how to cover his tracks with a private registration

What Alexa says about MysteryCEO.com

Well, this blog ranks in under a million, which is very respectable for a blog and I am sure with the growth of content, the site will only go up in the rankings. (See Alexa Rank) Considering this blog is but a few months old… this is even more impressive!

Site Improvement Ideas for MysteryCEO.com

The content is top-notch but it would be nice to have some visuals on a site, I realize this can be expensive is you are licensing images but there are plenty of free resources for some great photography and it would add tremendously to the sites overall appeal. A great resource for free photography is MorgueFile.com, which I used extensively until I built-up enough of a photographic portfolio of my own developing Dreamclue.com.

MysteryCEO.com Final Verdict

From one passionate entrepreneur to (possibly) another… this is a fantastic site! If you want to get a glimpse into the life of an entrepreneur… even if this blog is written by a savant associate cleaning toilets at your local Walmart.

The Bottom Line

Mysteries are all around us… sometimes it’s best kept them that way.

Buzvia: MysteryCEO.com – Inside Their Minds…

What happens when you mix dyslexics with the written language? Usually, poor grades, bad spelling and grammatical errors that would make English professors the world over cringe. Ghotit.com is going to change that for those suffering from dyslexia around the world!

Ghotit.com Background Information

Dyslexics are not dumb, they are not stupid nor is their value to society any less… but I have to give the founders of Ghotit a massive amount of praise for what they have created. They took it upon themselves to solve a problem that has a very large impact on many people from getting the life they desire. In the interest to remain on-topic, if you do not know what dyslexia is, please visit this posting I did on buzvia’s sister blog LegendaryLife about two years ago, Dyslexia: Not a Barrier!

Ghotit.com sends me a comment

Ghotit (www.Ghotit.com) offers unique writing and reading online services for people who suffer from dyslexia, dysgraphia or people who are not native-English speakers. Ghotit’s first service is an online context sensitive spell checker.

What people have to say:

My god I have been look for this for all-my life, help that understands me. I write with a dictionary and thesaurus and some times cant even find the word looking for. I could not hold back the tears from the emotion then when I worked out how helpful this spellchecker will be for me.

• i really like it and i’m so glad i found it!! it will really help with my homework etc and my teachers wont get angry at me annymore!!

• Thank you for contacting us with your product. I tinkered with the spell checker for sometime this morning, entering common mistakes that our dyslexic students (and ADD) students make in spelling. I must say that I am extremely impressed with your product and would certainly like to further evaluate it with our students over the next several weeks.

• that spell checker is SO good, its actually waaay better than microsoft because it tells you the reasen why you are usuing the correct word. i really like it, its really good!!

Does Ghotit.com work?

Absolutely! What striked me right away regarding this comment is how many grammatical and spelling mistakes are found in it! Lucky for them, I am not a stickler for either so to me so it doesn’t bother me but I am sure there are people in this world who would beg to differ. Then I realized… what a wonderful testing ground to test out the Ghotit.com system! Whether this was intentional or otherwise, I am grateful that they contacted me and even happier to report that is found just about everything that was wrong with this comment.

What Alexa says about Ghotit

Alexa says that Ghotit is currently hovering around 3.5 million but that is changing FAST. A site like this cannot be kept a secret for much longer!

Ghotit.com Improvement Ideas

Red highlights spelling mistakes while blue highlights grammatical errors, but if you are unlucky enough to suffer from both dyslexia and color blindness then this system is completely useless. I would suggest they also bold spelling mistakes and italicize the grammatical errors to further help this differentiation. Regarding monetization, why not have it record what people have put in while testing out the search engines and using Kontera, making money off the user generated test content? The site also has an extensive listing of dyslexic related papers and links to help people cope with this condition but it’s a little buried, maybe rotating them on the site or making that button stand-out a bit more with a slightly different shade of green would help.

Ghotit.com Verdict

Fantastic site… great idea… the only negative aspect of this site is that they didn’t come out with it sooner!

The Bottom Line

Turning your limitations into an opportunity to help others is among the most noble of pursuits!
