Capazoo lets you earn for contributing on its social network

 



 


Capazoo, has launched what it believes is a radically different model of social networking and online entertainment that allows members to achieve personal recognition and generate real revenue based on their content and participation in site features and services.


In addition to all the most popular features and services of websites such as MySpace, YouTube, Revver and others, Capazoo provides a unique business model that enables members to earn ‘Zoops’ – Capazoo points that can be converted to real cash – through member-to-member Tipping, through referral of friends and by sharing in Capazoo’s advertising revenues and corporate profits. 


Capazoo’s unique Tipping feature allows members to give a Tip to other members for their videos, photos, music, profiles, blogs and more.  Simply put, members earn real rewards from their virtual work.


While the idea of sharing the revenue with the community is appealing the problem Capazoo will have is building up the community in the first place.


The social networking market is already very crowded and time will tell whether this innocvative model will be enough for Capazoo to create traction and build a large users base.

Social Site Rankings (September, 2007)

 



 


Did you know that imeem.com is the fastest growing social site in the US.   Digg.com and Facebook.com have seen strong growth in the last year, while MySpace has continued to grow despite its large size.


The big losers have been Yahoo 360, which this week has decided to close its doors, Xanga.com, MSN, Lycos Tripod, Angelfire.com and Yahoo Geocities.  The figures clearly define a changing of the guard with the big brands from the last ten years being replaced by the latest kids on the block, most notably Digg.com and Facebook.com.

eBay Neighbourhoods, your eBay social network

 



 


Ebay will soon be launching eBay Neighborhoods, a place for people connect via their shared passions for products and topics.


Each neighborhood has a wealth of information, so for example a neighbourhood for coffee lovers has a list of ebay sites, blogs, guides, reviews and discussions.


There are presently around 600 neighbourhoods and we can expect to see thousands very soon.


This new feature for ebay is really very impressive, the site design is great, the content is recent and very useful.  Long may ebay rule!

TryThis offers community recommendations

 



 



TryThis is a new site to get recommendations. You can get recommendations on what to do, where to go and who to meet.


TryThis is a community based recommendation site. When you ask a question, the community gives you suggestions. You can link to the specific product you're recommending, give somebody a map, and introduce them to your friend.


The community helps decide if your suggestion is a good one by voting. So a good suggestion will naturally float to the top.


TryThis is not a place to ask questions like "How fast does a cheetah run?" or "How does the Black-Scholes method for option pricing work?", but rather "Where's a good place to get noodles in San Francisco?" or "What tomato sauce should I use in my lasagna?"

The concept and site work well but as with all user driven sites, the key will be gaining traction and critical mass quickly. TryThis is presently short on content and they will need to ensure recommendations are of a high quality and get voted on by the community.
