WebbChange.com is a social search platform that empowers people to share what they value on the web.
The uniqueness of WebbChange lies in a new rating system called WebbChange, which is a new (Free) virtual currency that reflects individual value systems.
At WebbChange.com, all members are given 30,000 Webbchange coins that they can give to their favorite sites, blogs, articles, and videos. At any time, a member can give their money to a URL and tag it based on how they personally feel about the site. Furthermore, when a member changes their mind, or is running low on Webbchange, they can remove their money from any site, and give it to another.
With all members collectively rating the web, and doing so with the same, limited amount of WebbChange coins, a democracy of value is finally created for the Internet. At Webbchange.com, everything in the system is valuable enough to have been given this limited amount of currency, AND, sites with the most money (and thus at the top of any search results page) have been collectively rated and agreed upon by the masses.
Yet, users receive more than just 30,000 Webbchange coins. Users also receive 5,000 Daily coins every 24 hours to give to their daily finds. As a result of having both Webbchange coins and Daily Coins, users can share and value information that is both current and longstanding in nature.
But WebbChange.com is more than simply sharing and searching. At Webbchange, all users are given a personal feed where they can follow topics, websites, and other users in the system. This feed will provide real time updates on valuable content related to, or posted by, any of these sources. Users can follow friends, family, opinion leaders, important topics, or websites they would like to stay updated with, all from their personal feed. Additionally, users signed up through Facebook Connect can post their “Webbchange spends” to their Facebook wall and share with their friends and family at Facebook.
WebbChange.com also has many other unique qualities that are inherent to the system. For instance, because all currency is tied to both people and websites, users can search for the “Best of the web” based on both keyword and personal information.
With SmartSearch, users can conduct searches like “the best “shopping” sites, by “women”, between the ages of “18-25” or “the best “golf resorts” by “Men” between the ages of 35-50”. Searches can also be made to include location, age, sex, category, or a variety of personal information like work, religion, education, or sexuality, This is not possible anywhere else on the web, and is only made possible through this unique rating system.
Webbchange.com is the newest and most innovative social search application on the web, and is only in its infancy. It was opened to the public a week ago and its potential becomes more and more alive as the masses sign up, share their value systems, and literally, put in their two cents.
