Under the radar, Spinglo is a remarkable concept that has been years in the development. It appears to be just another of those social media sites that promises much, but delivers little. A closer look reveals that all is not as it seems.
Still in beta form, it seems to offer it's users very little. Some random products and services appear at foot of the log-in page, and that is about it. However, there are currently about 4.5 million registered users who have joined from personal invitation when, up to a year ago, all that was on offer were competitions to win Apple products.
The concept of Spinglo was always ambitious, and some of those ambitions are about to come to fruition.
If we take a look at how Spinglo will grow and importantly retain members, we can see that it will offer people remarkable benefits.
Firstly, Spinglo is free to join. There are no fees.
Secondly, activity on the site is rewarded by the acquisition of points. Spinglo members also gain points for inviting their friends to join. The points will have some redemption value. In fact, they can already be used to "buy" bid credits for an auction site.
Thirdly, the social media aspect of the site is set to be a fully-functional platform, where members can interact with each other in real-time. It will one of the most sophisticated social media platforms on the net.
Fourthly, Spinglo members retain ownership of their intellectual property. That might not sound like much, but more and more people are becoming aware that some social media sites effectively take possession of users identity.
Now here is the "biggie". Spinglo have negotiated a deal whereby 5 000 companies will be marketed through the Spinglo user base. These companies include Amazon, Groupon, Apple Stores, Dell, Sony, Fujitsu, Phillips and other huge companies too many to mention by name. Spinglo users will gain an additional saving above the normal prices of about 7%. This will be rolled-out from 8 October 2012.
So, who is going to be delighted to see this development? The Spinglo users obviously as they will make significant savings on the type of purchases they make anyway. They may also be inclined to recommend Spinglo to their friends, and so earn even more points for themselves.
The other group set to benefit are the people who monetize Spinglo, the growing number of Synkronice members, located mostly in Europe. The incomes received will increase enormously as the user base doubles, triples, or even grows a hundred times.
Good news for all.
See you soon.
