Comotivate states "Somewhere in the world, there’s someone just like you and they’re trying to better themselves, just like you."

Although it is in BETA, comotivate is supposed to be more of a ‘useful’ networking site than a social networking site. It exists to positively change your physical and mental state by leveraging all that’s amazing about the human condition. Register your goal today, find someone with whom to comotivate and enjoy the power of collective endeavour.

Comotivate uses a powerful database to match user profiles so that buddies resemble each other as closely as possible. This gives you the confidence to know that if your buddy can reach their goal, you can reach yours too. The site allows you to:

-Use a range of tools on the site to track your progress, share video, images and encouragement to help each team member along the way.

-Be selective over who you buddy with, how you’re matched and how long your goal runs.

-Complete your goal and celebrate your success with a certificate of achievement.

-Build a private home page of personal information relating to the goals you’ve met."

The premise:
It is generally a lot easier to succeed in reaching your goals when you work with a buddy. Having encouragement and someone along the way to help motivate you to keep on track and to not give up are definitely helpful and why plenty of people spend lots of money on trainers. Comotivate recognizes how important having support is in achieving your goals, and has set up a system to help you find people who are most similar to you to help be there along the way. You can choose from various goals, including finding a job or getting healthier. After entering a bunch of data about yourself that helps to refine your goal and what stage you are at with it, you can choose which factors are important to you to match with your support buddy. Based on which factors you’ve chosen to be important and how many of those are necessary, the site displays a list of possible buddies and teams most similar to you. You can choose one of those buddies and request to be in their support network. Together you can motivate each other and keep track of the steps you are taking to realize your goals. Seeing someone similar to you succeeding definitely helps to push you along and stop procrastinating or coming up with excuses. By motivating each other, you both get closer to getting what you want.

Why it might be useful:
The site is easy to navigate and makes it easy to find the people you are looking for. People are always looking for another way in which to push themselves along towards success over their challenges, and so they will be interested in this site. Being able to look for buddies for several different goals on the same site is unique.
