SocialSpark started Beta in 16. April 2008 and I was one of the Alpha testers of the site. First I was quite interested in the site, because I knew, that some social features were added to the site. I used it, got my blog approved, made friends etc. But something was not correct. The site felt like a huge mess up of different features and functions, and the most important feature - blogging opportunities, was hard to figure out.

The idea about social site was good, but the execution was not a success. I think that IZEA stuff should really read my book about groupware features to figure out, how to analyze and choose needed groupware features for virtual community.

Now after two months, I’m still at PPP. It’s clear and easy use. If there is an opportunity, I can pick it up, write and get it approved. That’s the main reason for me. So instead of adding every feature at your site, keep things simple.
