Yuwie - Paid Social Networking ?! Is This Thing For Real?

By

I got an invite from a client today to join Yuwie.  I will admit I do have pages at Facebook, Myspace and the others.  I don't actively use them, except when clients see me and such. I will admit I have never received business from these sites, but I am hoping in the next year that it will help push the envelope with some clients (as in help me close the deal).

Basically, the above is just an excuse on why I have these sites.  Well most recently with Konnects, Tagged and Zolve, this Yuwie is intriguing.  It says, "

What is Yuwie?
=================
First off, Yuwie is 100% FREE. Yuwie is like any other "connect with friends" or social networking site. But we have one major difference.

Use Yuwie - Get Paid!

Yuwie pays you to blog, upload pictures, refer friends, chat, hang out, etc.

It sets itself up like an MLM Blog.  What it's done is create a very welcoming atmosphere, one that sort of polices itself in the interest of money.  So instead of seeing nasty stuff (granted I haven't looked that hard) it's taken the best parts of social networking and taken the leader of social networking (myspace)'s platform and given it to you in an ad/incentive filled experience.

I doubt you'll get clients and I'm skeptical of payment, but it's out there and I'm curious what other people think of it.

In any case, I signed up because of a client.  If you'd like to check it out, please click the link.  Otherwise, I look forward to your thoughts on Social Networking.

Joshua,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  I hadn't heard about this site yet but I'm going to go check it out. 

(Your Forest Hills listing is a really cool looking house!  Good luck with it!)
