Solve Problems For Money With Google
Do you like this story?
This month seems to be busy for Google. It launched all sorts of its products with Google+ being the most talked one. But other than Google+, "What Do You Love?" and Google+ button were also launched this month. With G+ getting all the hype this products are not being talked much.
Now again, after the quiet launch of "What Do You Love?", Google has quietly launched a social contest website called Prizes.org. The web site is operated by a company called Slide. It is the same social gaming company which Google acquired last year. Prizes.org allows users to create “contests” where they post questions or tasks. The user can then award a cash prize to the best answer received.
In the home page, prizes.org says:
"Post a task or question, offer a prize and let the crowd help you out!"
"Win real money by entering a contest. Receive votes for your entry and win big!"
"Contest creator will receive the work they asked for and winner will take home cash!"
Users may ask for wedding assistance, plan a adventure, best product for infants, etc. Each post contains a time allotment for forum feedback, during which time visitors vote on the best advice submitted. The user who gains the most votes wins the cash, often a $10 to $50 prize. At the moment you can sign up for prizes.org using either facebook or twitter account. The site directly don't claim it as Google product but if u go through the privacy policy you can find this:
Prizes.org is offered by Slide (part of Google Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA, USA).
