Not just ANOTHER social working site

Not just ANOTHER social working site
Another Social networking site?  How many Friendsters, MySpaces, Hi5s and all do we need?
Okay… that was my initial reaction to the news that there is a new social networking site being set up by Prism Venture Works.  Fine… it is not just another social networking site but it also has competitions and apparently like some form of event organization features.  Is this for real?

Apparently so….

The site called Ibeatyou.com is supposedly a place where friends can meet and challenge each other to the best looking toe or what have you.  In the process, visitors can either add their own suggestions; vote on the current options or even just comment.  In the process of the competition, I do not doubt that unlike some other social network sites, you will develop opponents, rivals and enemies – all part of the fun of competition and Ibeatyou.com, I hope.

The article which I found in Mashable.com has also compared this new site to Gochonggo which is similar to Youtube.  It doesn’t seem to be absolutely the same though as Ibeatyou.com is not truly a video hosting site, although it can contain videos.  It is a competition site and most probably, all the videos that will be uploaded will be voted upon, liked, disliked, winning, losing or absolutely hated.
