Launching a brand new concept website for bloggers - Looking for 100 Beta Testers!

    Hello everyone :)

    Let me introduce myself - My name is Marc von Brockdorff and I am a full time web developer and part time web marketer from Malta (Europe). I used to be a pretty active member here on Digital Point but lost my internet connection for a while and became more of an idle member thereafter.

    Anyway, for the past year or so I have been working part time on a project which I am now about to launch. It's been a secret for quite a while but I am finally announcing it, first on Digital Point!

    I introduce Seekopia. To summarise, Seekopia is set to be a personalized online magazine which loads its articles from multiple blogs. Users simply specify what topics they enjoy, and the online magazine automatically loads articles from blogs that match the users tastes.

    The multiple blogs are all hosted on Seekopia itself, so think of it as a blogger.com with a difference. Bloggers can create blogs (with features as good as all the other blogging networks) for FREE and customise their design and features. Also note that Seekopia will offer the opportunity to import your existing blogs!

    But what makes Seekopia SO different is that for every post you write on your own blog, you are rewarded with advertising space on both the personlized online magazine as well as on all individual blogs hosted on the Seekopia network.

    I can tell you more about how this works at a later stage but I can assure you that the income potential is huge as your advertising may appear on each and every blog in Seekopia, even if your own blog is getting no visitors.

    I won't waste your time with details here, just have a look at www.seekopia.com.

    I cannot reveal too much about how the system works right now, though I can assure you that it is and always will be completely free of charge to use. If you're interested, simply fill in your details on www.seekopia.com and you can be part of this exciting new project!

    Thanks,
    Marc von Brockdorff

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for your replies.
    To be beta testers, just fill in the details at the bottom of www.seekopia.com.

    Otherwise, send me a private message with your name, email and list of any blogs you currently have and I'll add you :)

    You will then receive an email in a few days explaining everything. As mentioned on the website, all founding members will be rewarded in many ways as new features are launched!

    Thanks!

    I wonder if maybe, a mod could move this post to a more suitable section? Like General Chat or Services?

    If so, that would be great and I thank you in advance!

    Thanks

    Hello solidstate,

    I temporarily disabled the form for the past 15 mins to add another security check, so your email didn't get in! If you go to seekopia.com, you can register again. Sorry for the hassle!

    Thanks

    Thanks,

    You can create multiple blogs, in fact there is no limit at all. Also, each blog will be under the same user account but completely independant to each other, each one will have its own settings, and style.

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    Yes, all blogs have post comments. You may also turn them off.
    Other features include:

    You may allow comments by everyone, nobody, or Seekopia members only.
    Once a comment has been posted, you may choose whether you want to approve it manually or not.
    This, you may also set to auto approve comments by everyone, nobody, or Seekopia members only.

    There are even more features which will be explained soon.

    Thanks,

    Marc von Brockdorff

    This could be a good idea with great potential. I am reviewing this one.

    Hope to be a part of it too.

    Hmm.. Nice website and I like the idea. I'm not a blogger so I probably won't sign up or anything, but I will most likely keep an eye on your site see how things work out for you.

    Good luck.
