New social networking site, Zubby.com (
http://www.zubby.com) are enthusiastically offering themselves as the alternative site for MySpace users and promises to deliver a spam free, safe and friendly environment.
Perhaps one of the key differentiators for Zubby, is that it sets itself out to be family orientated ? although clearly not ruling out other uses. Randy Zlobec, founder of Zubby.com says, ?You can use it to network, meet new people, maybe even arrange business deals ? the possibilities are endless. But at the end of the day, I want it to be something that promotes Internet security and safety. We?ll be implementing a special unique feature that will protect our children online. I think that alone makes Zubby stand out from the rest.?
Although Zlobec acknowledges MySpace?s success, he feels the site has allowed advertising to dominant the website and has made a concerted effort to minimise this on Zubby from the outset. Zubby aims to provide a clean and uncluttered site in hopes of attracting the quote ?Google users and professional people who don?t get impressed by the amount of online friends you have.?
Interestingly, Zubby is offering the first 1000 members a revenue share in the site, on the proviso that they remain active members of the community. Zubby.com is a relatively new community site and currently has less than 100 members.
