Sumbola is a social media and collaboration platform that aims to enable a new form of enhanced storytelling called "social transmedia." It allows authors, artists, and their fans to crowdsource and expand creative works by adding multimedia, social media, and other enhancements directly within the platform. Sumbola's technology embeds this additional transmedia content directly into books and blogs to provide an expanded reading experience without linking out to other sites. The goal is to support users who want to learn, grow, create, collaborate, and share meaning with one another.

2. Social media, the latest content evolution,
is highly personal, and, if we are to be honest,
dubious in its value or importance outside of
a very small, personal realm.
(Yes, of course there are exceptions.)

3. Sumbola believes web technology is the
best platform to develop a creation and
consumption toolset that enables a new
form of social media…
… you could call it “social transmedia,” (but we won’t).

4. We believe users want to learn,
grow, create, collaborate, and in
many ways, to be enlightened—to
find and share meaning.
To Do What Matters.

5. Sumbola is multi-faceted and serves
multiple audiences:
• People who love to read (Readers)
• People who love to write (Writers)
• People who love to collaborate (Talent)
• All of the above (You?)

Now, authors can really use their
imaginations, and expand and enhance
their storytelling. Their books or blogs
can include crowdsourcing from their
fanbase, or authors can add their own
multimedia, social media, products, etc.

links that take the user off site

another platform.
