Interesting idea --- a social network which gives you half of the ad revenue they make from your profile.

They're calling it an "interest network," not a social network.
If it became half as popular as Facebook I would be RICH! :lulz:
I joined it. The layout is a little cluttery, and I'm trying to figure out how well the groups feature works. I am the first person with the interest "Discordia" as far as I can tell.

I signed in with Twitter; it's not blocked at work. Interesting.
Also, friended Nigel.
They'll just end up selling your
personal info again, getting subpoena'd
by the government and leaking your
data everywhere, getting exploited by
a rampaging flock of hackers

Yeah, but I'd be getting PAID.

I read "A social network that pays you to post" as "A social network that also requires knowledge of a bank account."

Not necessarily.
Signed up and hit Garbo and Nigel.
I am surprised I have not described myself as a "professional ne'er-do-well" elsewhere. :lulz:
I would never sign up.
Now, how are they supposed to pay you your share of the ad revenue?

I can't find anywhere they say how that's done. In the past when I have taken part of things like this, they either pay to a Paypal account or mail a quarterly check.
My concern is tag spamming, which I think will be kept to a minimum by people simply hiding or unfollowing people who do it, and follow spammers; having thousands of people following you hoping you'll follow them back, which also doesn't seem like that big of a problem.
I wonder if they're going to allow companies to have pages, or only individuals? Or whether they even know yet.
Oh, just re-read the article... they already have companies signed up. I wonder if these companies have to accept competitors ads on their pages? Interesting.

It's a little buggy... it also won't let me create a community for film cameras, and I'm pretty sure that's not morality-based.

I have "Wicca" and "Paganism".
For unknown reasons, it will not not allow me to create any community that contains a "c". :lulz:
It was giving me shit about adding interests with the letter "n" in them earlier, though repeatedy closing and attempting to retype it got it to work correctly. Buggy software is buggy, methinks. :lol:

Looks like you can change what the community is about after it's been created?

Just the ones you found. But it's early enough to steal all the ones people will later want to join up to.
Then, in a year or so, everyone in chime.in is a fan of SORRY ABOUT YOUR CAT'S PENIS.

WHY IS THAT NOT A GROUP YET?????
One of the greatest things about the way this works is that if there is a pro-Michelle Bachmann community, and they have it set to capture all posts tagged "Michelle Bachman", then/... well, obvious awesomeness is obvious.

I mean if we snatch up all the good names, how many people are going to make opposing groups with similar names?

I was surprised in a way that neither Jobs nor Zukerberg tried this. That said, I also assumed that when a serious threat began to do this, they would have plans to jump on. I think Facebook credits will have a lot to do with this.
