What is Silicon Valley’s Biggest Secret?

We are the team behind GoLinks and we are excited to expose Silicon Valley’s biggest secret: the go link.

So, what exactly is a go link? (sometimes referred to as a “go/link” or “go-link)

Let me illustrate by asking a simple question.

“How would you access your current paycheck right now?”

A typical scenario might look something like this:

I’ve created a bookmark! It’s somewhere in my bookmarks folder along with the other hundreds of important links I’ve bookmarked, let me just look for it…
Wait, this is my personal laptop, and my bookmarks are saved on my work laptop…
Oh, I think it was in my New Hire Orientation packet, let me go find that binder. Aha! here’s the link: https://www.adp.com/old_application_link_from_2002.asp
404 Error. That link is no longer valid.
Well, I know I get paid by ADP, so let me just go to their site…

Umm… I guess I’ll just try all four logins and one of them should work eventually?

Step 1: Use go links

https://go/paycheck

If you work at one of the large Silicon Valley Tech companies like Google, Facebook, Linkedin, Yahoo or many others, you can actually click on this link above and it will take you directly to your paycheck.

Try clicking on it now and see if your company is already using go links.

What happened? Medium may have gotten stuck, or the browser was eventually presented with this screen below.

This means that your company isn’t using golinks. Which also means your coworkers are losing valuable time searching for important links within your company.

So golinks help me check my paycheck faster? Is that it?

There are many more benefits that come with a go link system such as:

Sharing go links among all employees
Vocalizing shareable golinks quickly in a meeting
Accessing go links outside of the company VPN
Resolving golinks on All Devices including Mobile Devices
Posting fliers and posters with easy to remember golinks
Having up-to-date go links at all times
Saving minutes each day searching for internal information
Much more!

“So how can I get my company to start using go links like all of the Silicon Valley companies?”
