ShowMe.tv – Video Contests For Everybody


ShowMe.tvThose among you that have developed a fine taste for Internet memes and memorable online performances should head straight to this site. Named ShowMe.


tv, it is a social network in which everything revolves around video contests. People who join the network become contestants in as many of these as they want, and they are voted by the rest of the community. The ones who win become eligible for cash prizes.


Something that deserves a paragraph to itself is how the voting mechanism actually works, as members can cast both “normal” and “super” votes. The latter are bought at a fixed price, and they have one distinctive characteristic: if the contestant that receives these wins, then the person who voted for him earns a multiple of how much they had cost


Such a system creates a relationship between voters and contestants of its very own, as (in theory) the one contestant that manages to build the strongest bonds in the network itself will be the recipient of these super votes. That gives a whole new meaning to the concept of networking, and while it is difficult to ascertain how meaningful relationships will be in such a setting, people are going to interact more than by traditional means. And that’s a fact.
