Facibus On Blogging

Yaro Starak says that FreeIQ is YouTube for internet marketers. I am not convinced.

FreeIQ has some characteristics of the very Web 2.0 power-to-the-people YouTube, like multifaceted browse. It also has a primitive form of tag cloud, used slightly out of folksonomic context.

Being YouTube is more than being a multimedia repository. Time will tell if FreeIQ is successful, and if it successfully fulfils its mission as being the marketplace for ideas. The business model is very affiliate-marketing oriented as befits the audience (this is not a bad thing - just something to keep in mind if you’re not used to Web/Business 2.0).
