Free Stuff Online... Swagbucks
Long, long ago it was almost a novelty to type something into Yahoo and get a bunch of results that were related to what you had just typed. The net was new and nobody knew where to find anything. At the time content was provided by organizations, often with substantial budgets. In many cases we paid money to register for the data. Web 2.0 changed that taking content from ordinary people and using it to make money.
When I look at Swagbucks.com I wonder if I'm looking at a game changer. Swagbucks is a search engine that reimburses its users for using it. After registering, using their search engine will earn you swagbucks that you can use to buy prizes. It reminds me of those ads on the backs of comics that rewarded children for selling cards but there is a critical difference.
Selling cards is not something children do. Surfing the net is. The swag prizes are clearly aimed at a young generation. If the they choose it they may stick with it. So the question then becomes: What is it really worth to know what someone types into a search engine? The next question is what other things do we all do online that are worth tracking and how much is that knowledge worth?
