SpiffBox.com - Generate An Income By Socializing

The words “Monetizing” and “Social Web” are a bit like Cain and Abel: nature links them but the truth of the world divides them. That is what one would adamantly assume until coming across a website such as SpiffBox.

The basic premise is a simple one: it is a social site where every single action and interaction translates into points that can be eventually redeemed for cash. When I say “every single action and interaction” that is the exact truth of it: you accumulate points by performing tasks as mundane as opening a message.



As if that wasn’t savvy enough, the team responsible for it has not left aside implementation with other major social sites on the WWW today. That means users of social behemoths like Facebook and Twitter can employ this system and earn money through their everyday actions without having to stray from their (probably) large circle of followers.

Something like this is obviously going to merit some glances, whereas more than a few voices would decry that socializing like this becomes synonymous with pure commercialization. Personally, I think the risk of a service like this to become a salad of random interactions is way too high, but I do give the guys responsible for it credit for thinking about something radical for a change.
