New GPT-Related Information Resource
I've been checking out a new 'Get Paid' related site for a while, and now that it looks like it's taking off, I thought I'd share. It's called GPTInfo, and its owner claims it's the largest database of 'Get Paid' sites on the Internet. From what I can tell, that claim is 100% accurate.
On the surface, the site appears to more of a 'popularity contest' for people to vote for their favourite 'Get Paid' programs and owners. But as more features are added, the database becomes a much more useful source of information. For example, while owners and programs are rated independently, they are linked together, so it's easy to find out all programs with the same owner. There is also information provided about the Memeber ID's they use at various GPT-related forums, which can be quite helpful.
Another feature that's being developed is the inclusion of 'program issues.' These are things like violating their privacy policy, not paying members on time, selling ads at unsustainable prices, etc. For now, members can rank which issues they consider the most important, and if a program has any of the issues, it's included in that program's information profile. If I understand it correctly, these issues will eventually be 'searchable', so it'll be possible to quickly generate a list of all programs that are behind on payments, or violating Paypal's AUP, etc. I think that could be an extremely useful tool for helping members decide which programs to join, and which programs (and owners) to avoid.
There's also a forum for more in-depth discussion of "Get Paid" related issues, and the owner seems determined to ensure it doesn't become another forum full of nothing but bickering, name-calling and nasty personal attacks. There have been a few hiccups, but so far it seems to be working.
