Are you on the ZipperList?
 

Really cool social media website I discovered today through another board.

The ZipperList - I am a new member and recommend the site highly for social networking needs. Its pretty damn cool actually. Its Like Craigslist Meets FaceBook Meets Twitter and Tumblr all rolled in to one. And you can make tons of custom blogs.

interesting.... are you getting any viewers?

Any good traffic or just full of bots / fake profiles?

Hi, Morri...
I will post back tomorrow. Its pretty new so expectations are low for this week. I really like the concept though. It seems to be created by PR people so I am not sure what the outcome will be. Postbots or real people.

What do you use to show traffic to a page? I posted an AD in the classifieds...will be curious if any responses.

I'm not signed up....

plus sorry for the question, but what are pr people?

And how much do you get for each of your |spam| referrals?

public relations.

Not getting paid loser. They give out points to be used for something I guess. In trade.

I used ref code to see if anyone actually signs up. You shouldn't sign up though. Really, site doesn't need you I am sure. |lol|

Sure sounds like you are getting paid :P

Which is ok, we are all webmasters so by definition we are looking to get paid...lol

Was just wondering if this was a post for an interesting new site, or you looking for monetary gain which in that case might be better off in the products and services section

Now that aint workin thats the way you do it
You play the guitar on the mtv
That aint workin thats the way you do it
Money for nothin and my points for free
Money for nothin and my points for free

As soon as I click on any menu item I get asked for my location, then only get news/forums/etc for my area. That kind of makes it useless. If I'm looking to the site to find a date with a woman, then fine, I probably want local. But nearly everyone wants forums where they can chat with everyone (note, for example, the number of different countries the people on this board come from, what use would GGB be if it was only for webmasters living in Washington DC). People also want world news, they don't just want to know what is going on down the road. And for selling/buying stuff - everyone buys internationally, only really big stuff, like fridge/freezers gets bought locally, for example in the last year I have bought stuff on eBay from Britain, USA, China, Australia, and a few European countries.

In short, "localisation" is so 1990's, I cannot see this site succeeding unless they expand their horizons.

Everyone buys internationally!?

Well everyone with a credit card and a brain. Different things are different prices in different countries. You save a small fortune if you source your purchases internationally. For example: Cheapest I have ever seen a new computer mouse going for in the UK is £3.99, I buy mine from China, the last one cost me £1.29 including international postage. Christmas decorations cost about half as much in the US as in the UK, again including postage. I collect Nelson memorabilia, it costs a fortune in the UK, but I get it for a fraction of the cost elsewhere in the world where he is less well known. And going the other way - "antiques" from the 1940's do not go for as much in the UK as in the US, I'm told that Americans fly over here, buy their shit from our "antique" shops, freight it back home, and have saved a fortune even after taking in the cost of freight, air fair, hotels, etc. Some people even do this for a living.

Plus, of course, some things are not available worldwide. See my recentish thread on "spray on cheese" for example. Or for another example, movies. A lot of Brits buy American DVDs from the US because not all are available over here. And a lot of Americans by DVDs from mainland Europe, because they are often less censored. Or take computer games. Selling Japanese games in the US and Europe is big business as so many good Japanese games never make it out of the country.

In short - the world, my friend, is a small place. And only the small man buys just from his local mall.

I would be hard pressed to call that a social media website, I doubt any serious webmasters or adult marketeers would embrace it.

Don't say that!
