Zurker.com is a new name in the list of social networking site after Facebook and Google+. It was just launched in January 2012 but it already has got everyone's attention due to it's business model.
For the first time ever, a social networking site is offering equity shares to it's members. When you signup, you all get 1 share which is equivalent to rupees 50 and yea, when the company goes public in March after distributing 1 miliion shares, they can be redeemed for money.
I really liked the democratic concept of it and with much difficulty have managed to get an invite.(It is still in beta and you will need an invite to signup. Also shares are only awarded for free during the beta signup).
If you want to signup too, here is the official invitation link:
http://www.zurker.in/i-1758-snajsjxxuj
Click on it and you will be redirected to the signup.
Signup and who knows when that rupees 50/share would be 5000/share. And not kidding, with Facebook IPO coming up in April, social networking sites would be a hot property.

Gulshanji is the share credited immediately or It took some times?

I felt like ending it but your feeling about my incorrect use of the word has forced me to be back to add a few lines in this regard. I don't know if you have any legal background and I can cite innumberable Supreme verdicts where this particular word 'lure' in relation to 'smart' marketing practices, has been used by the learned judges.I accept that my English is not that strong but here I feel confident enough about its correctness.
Chinmoy Gulshanji has summed up my feeling aptly.
I have no legal background whatsoever and neither I would say that my English is perfect. But I am 100% sure that the word lure has negative overtone.
Here's the exact meaning of lure:
To lure" is to deliberately attract something (used in hunting and fishing).
Zurker is not luring users, luring would be to make a false promise and trap the end user in it. Zurker does neither. IT has not gone back against it's promise (yet) nor is the user trapped for ever. You can always close your account.
I am sure many of our respected judges may have used it, but I am also sure it would have been some ponzi scheme or fraud case. Though I would like to read anything on the contrary.
Anyways I would rest my case here. I think we can agree to disagree on this.
P.S. Chinmoy, I hope you are not taking any of this personally, you know how much I like and respect you!!!
Nothing personal - man! You are entitled to your views as I am of mine!

The site sent a message to my email giving a link to verify. On my verification, they sent another message that my account was verified and account created. In the account, i found that I had got one eshare for making account and I could introduce more members for getting more.
I am personally not so interested in eshares. I shall see how informative and entertaining the site is. Then i shall work on that.

I am not opposed to raising the issue. This made people cautious. If a public issue comes or any cash is demanded for eshare or promoter share or anything, we need be alert. As long as we do not part with our money, all is okay.
Arun they did not give me share its already 24 hours completed. :(
Sasikant check your account, you must have already got vcredit. You then have to convert your vcredit to vshares.
Other than that I really have no idea. Mine was applied within a few hours after my verification and guslhanji has also received the credit.

Totally with you. Thats what my approach is and I guess this should be the approach of everyone. DOn't invest any real money. Just signup early and wait.

Actually the total exchange was a very enlightening one and I think there should be such discussions on issues such this one, it really gives us lowly beings a little more knowledge than we would otherwise get elsewhere! :laugh: :)

Where will we get VCREDIT .I can not see it,and still now no share credited in my account.
Check the riht hand corner of the page when you are logged into Zurker. You will see that you have 1 vcredit and you can convert that in shares. Your profile will show 0 vshares till you convert your vcredit into shares.
