It will probably get full of drivel postings by people who will treat doing that as an 'earner'.

Now I come to think of it - some people do that here to gain prestige/rep power with a large post count.

She posted somewhat pointlessly, but increasing her post count.

It's the sort of thing that on paper sounds like a good idea.

But because the existing social network sites are already so established, and well used, I think it has very little chance of taking off.

If you could, who would prefer to sponsor your posts on Accy Web?

Mobertol by Luigis Italian Restaurant.
DaveinGermany by the Cologne Currywurst Company
Bee by Mothercare....

Well they once said Facebook wouldn't catch on;)

Re: Payment for Posting
 

Yes, but really it was the first of it's kind, and now dominates.

It's like a new search engine, trying to challenge Google.

There's a chance people may give it preference, but it's slim.

If people started deserting Facebook for the new site, all they have to do is offer the same deal.

The challenger hasn't a unique selling point...that can't be copied.

I don't ask to many questions about the Bratties here, except maybe is it a named meat & did it have 2 or 4 legs ? :D

It's unlikely, but it has happened. I remember when Yahoo and Lycos ruled the search engine roost. Google innovated and kicked them into touch.
