VOIS, publicly traded social network for 25 to 50 year-olds, raises $1 million

VOIS (VOISW) is a social network that is trying to differentiate itself by being focused on adults, ages 25 to 50.

The company claims to offer better “social commerce tools” than competitors, to help adults do things like promote their businesses. I’m not sure what’s different about these tools. There’s a classified ads section, for example, but other social networks offer classifieds as well.

Florida-based VOIS also says it provide users with superior customer service, claiming to answer every single question that users submit.

VOIS has very little traffic, if you believe web analytics firm Compete — it’s about a quarter of the size of VentureBeat.

The company apparently has a turbulent history, but has recently raised $1 million from an un-named New York investment bank.
