About TIC

What is TIC?

It's an online magazine

Pick any popular and or technical magazine you please: TIC will feel just right, and appeal to the right audiences in the right way.

It's a boon for businesses

Each of TIC's five mega-subjects has a substantial business constituency. Business consumers and consumees can interact with lay consumers and with each other locally and globally.

It's an online newspaper

Enjoy TIC's own stories, stories from TIC communities, and stories we will pick up from other media. And automatic market-specific news feeds. TIC will have that familiar online news feel.

It's perfect for professionals

Each of TIC's five mega-subjects has its own community of professional consumers and consumees. Watch them interact with each other, with businesses, and with lay consumers locally and globally.

It's family fun

Everyone in the family will thrill to TIC's breadth and depth of coverage, from 'What are you leaving me in your will, Pops?', to 'Why do I have this nasty genetic condition, Mom?' to 'Who and where is Great-Uncle Melvin, Sis?', and so on!

It's a huge community

TIC could realise its potential and get Very Big. Just wait until we get going, especially with our global Inheritance.Social network, TIC national and international annual physical events, and our engagement programs.

TIC is motivated multimedia with a mission!

Substantive

TIC will:-

• definitively sustainably and credibly address a mega-subject of universal interest, relevance and importance

• cover, from various angles, the principal branches, stages and aspects of inheritance

• aggregate, integrate, coordinate and consolidate disparate elements of inheritance and related subjects

TIC's breadth and depth of approach bespeak a comprehensive command of the mega-subject's details, nuances, intricacies and complexities

TIC content can be flexibly focused on and targeted to any combination of topics, markets, locations, communities, sectors etc.

Wholesome

• TIC is not another superficial, trite, vacuous, simplistic, illiterate consumer insult

• TIC is not a crank forum for grievances, complaints, disputes etc. TIC will not offer dispute resolution

• TIC has no bias in relation to any inheritance-related community, person or thing

• Our content will be thoughtful, educational, enlightening, thought-provoking, neutral, apolitical, practical, balanced, sensible, literate, lucid, socially responsible and very well informed

TIC's back office —corporate governance, human resources etc. — will be governed by similar principles.

TIC will help us make sense of our individual and collective past, present and future.

'Difference'-making

TIC can make many a difference in many settings:-

WILLS+ESTATES: elder abuse, inheritance abuse, prudent use of an inheritance, philanthropic bequests etc.

GENETICS: decoding impenetrable technical terminology, demystifying incomprehensible descriptions of gene therapy, victims of genetic diseases

GENEALOGY: helping disavantaged folk find their families, especially the displaced and the dispossessed

CULTURE: raising awareness of endangered heritage: heritage does not belong only in a museum

PLANET: protection, preservation and conservation projects; poacher deterrence and prevention; anti-pollution awareness etc.

TIC's Intentions, Prospects

TIC intends and plans to establish itself globally as a conventional standard predictable responsible respectable wholesome global multimedia+networking+events enterprise on an ancient composite mega-subject of obvious fundamental universal importance, interest, appeal and relevance.

A global hub, portal, multi-resource, all about inheritance. Independent, neutral, apolitical, practical, substantive, balanced, sensible, literate, fresh, lucid and very well informed.

TIC is now a solid proposition ready to get off the ground. Nothing to test, nothing to invent or re-invent, nothing to patent, little or nothing to prototype. We want to get on with it!

Is TIC viable?

We have the content

TIC's range of subjects — wills, estates, genetics, genealogy, culture, planet — opens all doors in all markets to an infinite range of human interest and technical interest stories.

We have the platforms

TIC will offer no fewer than nine exciting multimedia platforms: website, podcasts, webinars, newsletter, investigative reports, videos (shorts and documentaries), virtual and physical events, Inheritance.Social, and our very own engagement projects.

We have the markets

Local, municipal, regional, national, international — in every country on the planet, per subject and per community. TIC communities include lay consumers, business consumers and professional consumers worldwide.

We have the sources

Everyone has an inheritance story of one kind or another. TIC will be perfectly placed to source from regular folk, specialists, business people, professionals, etc. worldwide.

We have the angles

Celebrities – regular folk – latest developments — popular interest — technical interest. TIC specials include Inheritance.Social, our own social media community; TIC community engagement (conservation projects etc), and TIC live events worldwide.

We have the vision

Visualise a huge annual national convention packed with thousands of testators, heirs, executors, administrators, lawyers, bankers, asset managers, philanthropy seekers (museums, universities, galleries, charities) — all talking to each other about wills and estates, and money! And on similar lines, conventions dealing with genetics, global cultures, the decimation and destruction of our planet etc. Stimulating!
