Earn money with social networking : Zurker

What Is Zurker And Do You Need To Know About It?




Since the name first started circulating around in February, there has been much speculation and interest in the new start-up and it has only continued to grow.
Zurker
Shares
Becoming a member of Zurker automatically makes you an owner and investor in the site. By inviting friends to join the network you earn a vShare. Now, these don’t count as real shares until Zurker becomes a publicly traded company but it’s still a pretty good start.
Obviously, you’ll want to refer as many friends as you can so that you get more shares, which in turn allows the social network to expand. You can also purchase vShares so you can invest as little or much as you want.
Zurker Vs Facebook
As soon as any new social networking site is released, it will instantly be compared to the almighty Facebook.  With the announcement that Facebook is to become a publicly traded company, it has definitely got us all thinking about who is making all the money from this?
As Facebook has grown so have the investor’s bank balances. However, it really does go to show how much a small start-up can come in a few years and the amount of money that is continuing to be invested in the world of social media. What’s to say that the users can’t be the ones to profit from social networking? Now that the question has been thrown out there, it’s hard to avoid.


Can it work?
On paper this seems like the best idea. We’re all going to be multi-millionaires by 2016! Before we get too carried away we need to remember the facts. It doesn’t yet have a mobile app or a developer API. From using the site, I can see that it is still in its early stages.
While the interface is simple to use, it doesn’t have an overly attractive design. However, I think this can be improved as the site continues to grow. After all, does anyone remember the initial Facebook design?
Yes, the whole Facebook thing has already been done and many would argue that it would be difficult to see another social network have the same level of growth and success. But the beauty of social media is that anything is possible and you’re never 100% of sure how the general public will react.

How To Disable Social Networks Like Facebook From Tracking You with The Priv3 Firefox Extension

It has been a hot topic from the day it was found that Facebook is tracking visits of users even after logging out. So here is a quick solution named Priv3.

How Social Networking Sites Can Track You :

    In order to integrate interactive features—such as buttons, comment forums, activity feeds, or recommendations—from social networking sites, authors of web content integrate HTML snippets or JavaScript code provided by the social networks into their pages.
For example, when you are logged into your Google or Facebook account and visit a movie review page on rottentomatoes.com, your browser automatically pulls in the "+1" button from Google's servers and the "Like" button from Facebook. These downloads include the session cookies your browser uses to inform Google and Facebook that you have previously logged in, and so Google and Facebook automatically learn about your personal interest in the movie page you're looking at, even if you never actually click on either of their buttons.         


How Priv3 Works :

    Blocking simple "web bugs" or "trackers" is fairly straightforward, because doing so does not harm your web surfing experience. By contrast, completely blocking social networking features is counterproductive, because doing prevents you from actually using these features—say to leave a comment, or to "like" something—when you would like to do so.
Therefore, Priv3 does not block third-party interactions completely. Instead, it selectively suppresses the inclusion of third-party web cookies when your browser pulls in content from the social networks, but does provide them if you decide to interact with the social networking features. You still see the number of "likes" the page has accumulated on Facebook or the comments other people left using Facebook's discussion mechanism. Facebook however only learns the IP address of the computer you are using.
Should you decide to interact with the social feature, Priv3 detects any mouseclick or keystroke directed at the feature. It then reloads it with your session cookies and passes on the click or keystroke, thus revealing your identity to the social network and informing it of your desired action.         



Priv3's Currently Supported Social Networking Sites :
It currently understands the interactive features of the following social networks:
