Amuso.com - Reality TV Comes To Your Home

The likes of American Idol, that Pussy Cat Dolls show, America’s Got Talent, American Inventor, America’s Next Top Model, and the list goes on and on and on, point to our obsession with reality TV contests. They are thoroughly addictive which is precisely why there’s Amuso, a new online platform which allows all and any to become a reality show top talent (if that’s not an oxymoron). Yes, that means that you too can join in on the real tv circus, becoming a show producer/creator, or entering to become a contestant. Among the current crop of competitions is Next Top Baby, Impersonation Idol, Eurovision 2008 second chance, High Street Model and the Biggest Winner. There are a range of channels covering topics in beauty, comedy, lifestyle, and impact (these are inspirational, beat a disease, kind of contests). Not only can anyone create a show, anyone can win real prizes too. The winners are determined by the votes of registered users only. Presenters also get the opportunity to win awards—every time a new contestant joins, they’ll get 15% of the total prize pool of the show.

“Amuso is the online game show platform that lets anyone run a show, be a star and take home real prizes. Users can browse everything from photo contests to high glamour talent shows. Create a show and make money when it takes off, or be a contestant to showcase their talent. From today, game shows will never be the same.”

Amuso plugs right into our vanity, allowing anyone to be a reality TV star. It’s an extremely popular genre which means many people will be willing to join up and submit themselves to TV humiliation and fame. The concept is quite solid. I imagine some of these reality shows could very well end up on the (other) small screen.

Is the voting fair? How is voter fraud prevented? How easy is it to create a competition?
