Dwank.com - Showcase Your Home to the World

Dwank comes from Europe´s erstwhile happiest lot, those not so melancholy Danes; it´s a site where you can share photos of your domicile. It´s like a tamed and personable version of those architectural zines that parade pretentious and unaffordable spaces. Dwank currently has listings from Bangladesh, Greece, Spain, the States and Italy among others. The digs range from the ultra stylish(check out that cool Spanish estate) to your mundane Canadian country house with drab paint and an odd assortment of bed coverings. Users can comment on each other´s dwellings while offering DIY decorating advice. You may even win a prize when you sign upâ€"a free year of SPAMfighter Pro!!! Ok so that´s not quite the sort of prize you really yen for, and perhaps Dwank is a really odd name (what does it mean in Danish anyhow?), but it´s got some nice pictures.

“Dwank is all about people showing their homes to the world. You can"t buy or sell homes though. But you can get some great home design and decorating ideas from browsing this web site. You can also give and get do-it-yourself advice.

Dwank aims to be the MySpace for homes. The concept is good; decorating and home styles tend to be subjects that garner a fair amount of attention. It´s a welcome alternative to posh magazines that showcase homes that only the ridiculously well-off can settle in.

Seriously, what´s with that name? Dwank will only go as far as its users, and right now the pickings are very, very, slim; how will it build a fan base? Where will it get funding?
