I have checked out this site, after reading a review. They say, prizes 2 b 1, and ofcourse there are prizes 2 b 1. This site reminds a little bit of contests2win. But, wait there is a difference infact lot of difference between these two.
This site is very fast to load, very simple to navigate. Infact, it is too simple to navigate. There are only 7 contests, and all are quite easy and simple. Now comes the USP of this site(according to me), these contests are updated everyday, and winners are announced everyday. The site also has a bidding section, where you can exchange your points for any thing on the list.
This brings us to the not so good part of this site. It gives you 10 points when you sign in for the first time, and 5 points for every reference which has materialised. This is quite common in all contest sites, but what is quite disappointing is that, unless you win(and this is purely luck)there is no way that you can increase your points. I have been a member since two weeks, and my points still stand at 10. When will I reach 200 points and when will start bidding for various things(ofcourse, when you win a contest, you get 200 points)is irritating me. Probably there is a need for redesigning the points system. Otherwise it is not worth playing regularly on this site.
Another issue is that, there are questions on various brands and products, but you would not spend so much time on them, infact you would spend no time on any brand, and on any question. This would I am sure keep corporates away from this site. This is one major reason why contests2win is such a big hit with corporates. There is one more advantage getting people to spend some time on the contests, it generates interest in the minds of people.
But, but, you just cant replicate an existing site, and run it successfully.
