Alternatives to facebook - Zurker a Social Network which you can own

See below to join a new social media site which will earn money for you in future


If you’re familiar with the social network giant Facebook, you’ll know privacy has been an increasingly hot topic. While it is a top dog in its field, it’s been growing a reputation for taking advantage of users and their privacy. So why don’t people leave? The most common answer I hear is, “What other choice do I have?”
Well, here are ten alternatives to Facebook that are worth giving a shot.
And the last is Zurker it is fairly new site and it's join only by invitation click here to join.

What’s so Special about Zurker?

If I had to sum up Zurker in one word, it would be DEMOCRACY.
Zurker is a member-owned social platform.
This means that Zurker is not driven by a bunch of pimple-faced college kids that stand to make enormous amounts of money off collecting our private information and then selling it off to advertisers.
The idea behind Zurker is simple and intriguing: let’s give the keys to the network to the members and let them decide what’s best for them.
“At Zurker, we believe that if our members own the project, they will enthusiastically contribute ideas and feedback, allowing the Zurker development team to develop the social application most in tune with what people actually want.” from About page
To become a co-owner and an investor, all you need to do is to invite your friends to join Zurker.
For each person referred by you, you earn a vShare.
vShares are a stake in Zurker.
One vShare is equivalent to ownership of 1/1,000,000 of Zurker.
Now we are not talking about real shares of stock, since Zurker is not a publicly traded company – yet.
When 1,000,000 vShares have been allocated, Zurker will be restructured as a public corporation and vShares will become real shares.
Why would Zurker founders do that?
In their own words:
“Facebook and Google+ may have highly talented engineers, but no elite engineering team can beat the innovative power of 500,000 passionate members who each have a stake in the success of the project as a whole.
Recent history has taught us one thing – democracy always triumphs.”
Bottom line: you get to own a part of a social network just by doing what you are already doing, i.e. growing your social reach, networking with other members, and branding yourself and your business.
I find this concept pretty interesting and attractive… Don’t you?
