Fairer than Facebook? New social site PAYS you money for your best posts
 

Facebook earns its £1.1 billion a year in advertising revenue by posting adverts at the side of users pages.

So if you're a prolific Facebook poster whose every post is buried in 'Likes' and comments, you're effectively providing free entertainment while Mark Zuckerberg's multi-billion company pockets the profits.
A new start up - Chime.in - aims to take what it sees as a fairer approach.
Half of the revenue for the adverts which appear on someone's Chime.in page will be split with the person in question - and if users sell the space direct to companies they can keep all of the money.

The arrangement is unique for social networking and is ?firing a shot? across the industry, said Chime?s creator Bill Gross.

Until now websites like Facebook and Twitter have simply raked off all the money made from advertising whilst users earned nothing.
Gross said that with Chime ?finally, the interests of the content creators are aligned with the interests of the publisher because they get something for their hard work?.

Gross currently runs the Ubermedia network which is responsible for Echofon and UberSocial, two popular Twitter clients which reach a combined six million users.

It will have many of the same features as Twitter and Facebook such as a news feed, a panel to see who is online, messages and updates.

Chime.in has joined the bandwagon knowing there is multi millions to be made from interactive free sites & can make it possible with ONLY earning millions :) It sounds fairer & I would like to see this work considering we all would be able to earn from it.

I don't think people do hard work writing on these sites, considering fb is just another FREE to use & enjoy meeting & speak with friends & family.

Chime.in makes a great sales pitch using the "earn for your hard work" though :2 cents:

How many fake hot girl profiles can i make?

Is it even live?

squidoo and hubpages seem to work so who knows.

Is it more Adult Friendly?

Porn needs it's own Social Networking site. so we can chat to surfers, they can chat back without the restriction of FB or any message board.

People will start posting fake profiles and copyrighted shit now.

Anyways.

Good question :pimp

:1orglaugh At the moment, i've got a fake hot girl asking me to pay for her dead fathers security box from Africa, so she can split the $3mill with me inside it. I'm trying to get her to come to Britain & work with me for it :1orglaugh

That's fucking stupid, that model was tried years ago when vc was pouring money into net stuff, now they'll go broke quicker haha

It's hilarious you aren't using it to market arsewithclass.

But, if you don't get why you should offer mobile billing, I guess you don't get social networking for marketing either.

Stop thinking the world should be fair and you are owed something and you can actually enjoy life more. I wouldn't sign up for that junk.

Wasn;t that what Rude.com was support to be all about?!
