Perhaps there’s nothing more impressive than the human spirit than our ability to make a social network out of every facet of it. Take competitiveness, for example, Web 2.

0 it ,and you’ve got ibeatyou (IBY), the social network for competitions. You know a good competition can draw in hundreds of people. Witness Survivor, or the lottery. ibeatyou takes this concept and opens it up to the public. You can set up competitions for anything your heart desires, be it Best Beard, or Funniest “Oh” Face. Invite any of your friends to join in and start competing. Like any other social network, to get started, register, create a profile, and add friends. Then it gets fun. Make up a competition. You’ll have to choose the medium first though—text, image or video. Invite friends. Do a head-to-head comparison of the competition by clicking the comparison button and seeing who’s won what. Choose Friends or Foes for each profile you come across. Or take it offline. However you like, just get your competition on. It’s free. Just leave the humility at the door.

Ibeat you add an interesting twist to the whole social networking concept. It’s actually something to write home about. Competitions are always fun and ibeatyou lets you decide what you want to play.

“ibeatyou (IBY) was started by a group of very competitive friends. Whether it was determining who had the funniest celebrity impressions, or remembering how many times someone beat somebody else in Nerf Basketball Contests, we realized there was no real outlet to easily showcase our "skills" with other people, or ways to easily let others decide on the true winner. ibeatyou was created for this sole reason alone. We wanted to create a platform where people could compete with anyone else in the world in anything; publicly for the world to see, or privately amongst friends. Letting the "public" choose the true winner and tracking stats to back up your bragging...these were all things which we've tried to create with ibeatyou.com. As we continue to evolve the site, we will continue to focus on building ibeatyou as THE place to compete.”

Will users be turned off by the not-so-easiness of doling out prizes for winners? Where are all the widgets and extras? Is it just a novelty site, or will the competitive spirit endure?
