“GoodBuzz has digged out the unknown/neglected value of ‘tips’. The world now understands that ‘tips’ have value and so GoodBuzz!”
“This site is great! I’ve never seen anything like it in my life! I think you’ll change my life. It is a new step for human evolution.”
“Very interesting website providing tips to spread message,good for small business,artist,designer.Website is providing grater importunity to earn more than now earning from the existing source.proving message to service each other.”
“I think that it’s an amazing idea for both the people looking to make some spending money, and the people looking to get their products out there. It uses the social networking that’s already in place with millions of people on them to advertise to the masses, and put some money in your pocket while our at it, It’s a win/win situation and a great idea, theres nothing negative about it that I can really say.”
“GoodBuzz is a very good place for advertising, it is very affordable and faster way of spreading words!!
Also people get paid for every click and share, which is very good marketing / advertising technique useful for advertisers and common people as well.
Home page is very attractive and self explanatory of what your website does and how useful it is for an individual!!
And I could see something on one page that “Be Good. Fill Good” which intends to help small businesses by promoting them.
I see a tab in your website “Contests” which is a very good approach to attract people towards your webpage.
As a whole, your website is good and need some more deals and many hits!”
“The video, that is on the home page of www.goodbuzz.org, really motivated me. After I watched the video, I wanted to know more, so I looked around the web site and found all kinds of information here and information there. The concept motivated me, because I was a waiter for about 4 years when I was much younger, and understands how the tip system works. Like MechanicalTurk it looks like this is another great web site for someone that needs additional cash to try out. In contrast, the video was great, yet the details on the web site leave you hanging. More specifically, if you want to know what is goodbuzz and what is the process for making money then the inquirer would have to login or signup. In short, I did not see details on how the process works. I think that there needs to be a combination of the video I have just seen, and a step by step training video on how to get started. Ok, you motivated me, now seal the deal with details. It is that simple.”
“The business idea may not be feasible in the long term. As the messenger base grows, the tip value per individual may reduce to a value where it is no longer significant unless supported by a sufficient tip fund. This issue posses a particular difficulty for small to medium scale enterprise advertising which may be significant to goodbuzz whilst a portfolio of larger, more financially able clients develop.”
“THE VALUE OF YOUR WEBSITE IS ENORMOUS AND USING YOUR WEBSITE IT WILL BE MORE USEFUL FOR MANY PEOPLE TO GET EARNED IN HOME.
IT IS MORE EASIER TO ADVERTISE AND EARN THROUGH TIPS THROUGH YOUR WEBSITE
ABOUT MARKETING , PEOPLE WILL EASILY LEARN THE TACTICS AND PROBLEMS THEY SEE IN MARKETING AND ALSO THEY WILL BE READILY PRESENT WITH A SOLUTION IN HAND.”“This site is great! I’ve never seen anything like it in my life! I think you’ll change my life. It is a new step for human evolution.”

Spending your time with it will not make you any loss because while you share this messages you will earn knowledge of whats going on around the world.”
“Marketing any product or service by their customers positive word of mouth is the best marketing strategy for any business. If the company identifies this strategy, their product’s review will be spread like a wild fire in the global platform. This is what GoodBuzz is all about. They use online networking websites as it has the largest pool of potential customers. GoodBuzz should try to implement their business strategy in other platforms apart from networking websites. If that happens, marketing can be done to people who are not very dependent on technology.GoodBuzz is very important for marketing any product.”
“It seems a good site for earning money and as well as advertising the products.Anyone can give it a try,and make money without any loss.it is helping in advertising and on many popular websites,which is very helpful for the advertisers.and the ones who are helping can earn a good sum of money.”
“The website offers excellent opportunity to companies, firms and small/ big business to attract attention of large section of people at a very minimal price. It also offers a good opportunity to regular internet user a make those extra bucks by just viewing few advertisements and spreading them.”
“Very good service for both users and advertisers as it is creating opportunities
to earn some extra income to users and also good marketing strategy for the advertisers to reach a wider range of people globally. Users can not only benefit themselves by earning some extra income but also by sharing useful information on social networking sites to the interested users. Advertisers by paying users for sharing information will in fact reduce the marketing capital which will be confined to some area or segment of people with the amount spent on goodbuzz service. This website service is an very good initiative to provide win-win situation for both users and advertisers.”“GoodBuzz is really a cool site for marketing. It is also a great opportunity for many people to earn extra amount for doing some simple jobs in the free time. I myself also want to try it for earning some extra money. Its really a helpful site.”
“For every problem there is a solution.
To solve a bigger task we need a large group to get it done in a short span. But letting it known to everyone and getting it done is a difficult task. Here is the right solution for this problem. Goodbuzz shares the information to the people.
With the fast spreading use of internet, it gets easier for a difficult task to be performed by sharing it with people on the net.
Everyone likes to get paid for the work done. Goodbuzz is a better place to share the things or sell the things with the public. The people who wants the work to be done posts the deal and bids the amount, which is then shared by the people and the interested work out and get the work done and the workers are paid.”“The idea behind the web site is just awesome. It’s truth that the mouth publicity is the best publicity. Now a Days Social Networks coming up to this role. Goodbuzz Uses advantages of social networks and help to spread your products and service all around the world via supporters in a very effective manner and in less cost.

“Obviously a good idea for people who need the money and have no other means of making it, but the average Joe will waste to much time trying to make money using GoodBuzz. Although I feel like individual losers will not make huge economic gains, I do feel that a not profit company can use GoodBuzz to help pay for any cost they have. Seems trustworthy but seems to good to be true.”
“you pass the message to the people you know and they thank for the information and you become happy on seeing others being happy..!!!this is what goodbuzz is for…so everyone will have a nice smile in their face( . . )”
“GoodBuzz is a great site it pays supporters for just promoting an ad ,easier for one who have Facebook , twitter account , even one can get bonus for being in top supporters . The advertiser don’t need to promote himself , its easier , faster , in some time many people have already read the ad. In my opinion GoodBuzz is a great site for advertisement and also for making some money.”
This is a very unique, useful website. I can see the potential here, and I like the format of the site. Very easy to understand, and simple to use.
“Sharing business information places great value in marketing. Good Buzz is the right media for Product advertisement and marketing. It reaches so quick to the person, and easy to use. It Provides tips to earn money.
A good media for business.”
“GoodBuzz is Very Good! The idea though appears simple and easy to understand, it is worth a billion. It is helping advertisers and the people who watch the advertisement to grow. Anybody can join the chain from anywhere to spread the ad message and get their share. The effoer involved is less and they are just say what they see. The main attarction lies in the fact that people at any level can take part in the scheme and get their share. It is not essential that he/she needs to be highly qualified. Not but the least, there is no limit to one’s earnings from GoodBuzz!Now the waiters and bartenders can be proud of the fact that they have been the reason for this Great idea.
“Goodbuzz seems like a fresh, innovative idea. It offers a unique way for businesses to attract customers, while at the same time supporting loyal followers. This model could potentially have far reaching effects for niche businesses that can target specific types of clients and customers through this form of social advertising.”
“I really like the concept behind “goodbuzz” but do feel there was a couple of factors missing, in your video.
1. Security of the clients that are using goodbuzz for marketing, is their money safe? eg secure server.
2. What is the minimum financial requirement for the company or business, using your marketing concept.The service the website offers would be very appealing to the average person, just going about their daily clicking and socializing. It is very obvious through the use of visual aids, that you can make some decent extra cash. So I feel the value is there for the average user.
Maybe just make the security procedures and minimum investment a bit clearer for the advertiser. Otherwise great website!”“I am interested to work in this good buzz team,its interesting and enjoyable work.”
“The network looks good but I am still not much familiar with video promotions. Its not a bad idea other than mturk it also provides a way to share your events and also gets tips for the promoters. Nice way of earning money.”

“This new type of advertising is a wonderful way to provide extra income for an average household, as well as a wonderful way to connect with mass amounts of people…it’s the newest form of “word of mouth”! ”
“Its a decent website, but little confusing as I was not able to see clearly what are the videos for. Facebook integration is amazing and I really like the fact I don’t need to make a new ID to comment. Layout was great but needs further improvements so that newcomers find it welcoming.
good work man good buzz rocks!”
“Now a days people are searching for new methods for selling their products as the competition in the market is very tough. The method that GoodBuzz propagating is very interesting and very practical. because today due to the emerging of social sites like Facebook, Orkut etc, the human relation has got a wide perspective and that people can contact and pass the information very quickly. Also people will be interested to spread a product detail when they come to know that they are paid for that.
comment: Oh GoodBuzz, thy name is” Modern Marketing”“a great survey under the world getting tips,come to a result bringing the origin of goodbuzz where people can post their job to be done ,that job was sent to facebook,linkedin,etc so,many person get aware of this job and willingly they are put forward by themselves to do our job .At last our job would be completed by a set of people,then our price money stated is distributed among those helped us.Thus our job is made easier ,great work goodbuzz ..keep on doing the same.”

feedback: thank you for giving information regarding this earning opportunity, this will be mutually help full”“To be completely honest, this is a well-thought idea for something we all do everyday, but it will shade the real impact that products or brands make as people will make them look great just for the advantage of a little extra cash on the side.”
“Good buzz is a marketing website in which people can be made aware about their products or services. It’s a very good marketing platform in which different companies can post product information which is spread among different people with the help of people working for the site. These people are paid for this and they use different social networking sites. It is affordable and fast since the whole process is virtual and less costly as no commercial advertisement is involved and it creates jobs too.
I like the site for its unique concept of working.”“Goodbuzz seems to offer an innovative and new way of increasing the marketing potential for companies based on utilizing existing methods of communication.

“Hi, it was good to know about the good idea behind GoodBuzz. Yes, I totally agree with the idea. Now-a-days, Facebook, Google-Plus, Linkedin and so many other social networking sites are good source of information for many people and better site for disseminating ideas and marketing new things. But, one think I could not understand about GoodBuzz is that how are going to spread the tips you have collected from the requester. And I guess, the amount of tips that is going to deliver to end people will be very small. I don’t know if people will love to work for that small amount. Besides that one thing I wonder is that whether friends will love to keep on viewing such marketing news regularly posted by a person.
That’s it.”“Goodbuzz is a platform for Crowdsourcing Advertising Budget to accelerate word of mouth online and offline.
“To sell a product advertisement is necessary. Good buzz is better than any advertisement and give best results. giving tip to supporters for advertising the product by email, facebook, twitter, and linkedin. The supporters will do most of your advertisement work and you have to spend little money and give best results. so goodbuzz is very good.”

Up to date there is No single street name for a top programmer or computer scientist in any of the Top 20 most developed countries in the world during the last 60 years.
There is no statue built in the center of a major city for a renown programmer or computer scientists.
No “Presidential Medal” or “Congressional Gold Medal” has been awarded to a computer scientists or programmer.
There is no nationally televised social reward ceremony for computer programmers and scientists like there is for artists, football or basketball players, etc.
There is no red carpet and Nobel price award ceremony-like for their achievements, and contribution to the progress of humanity.
Even when their work makes the whole world singing praises, they only fill the back seats glancing at other junkies making the speeches and grabbing the awards.
The only exception I found is about the English computer scientist Alan Turing who is considered to father of computer science.
Turing has been honored in various ways: a bridge and a street were named “Alan Turing Way”. A statue of Turing was unveiled in Manchester on 23 June 2001. And, since 1966, the Turing Award has been given annually by the Association for Computing Machinery to a person for technical contributions to the computing community.
The Turing Award is widely considered to be the computing world’s highest honour, equivalent to the Nobel Prize.
The most known accomplishment of Turin outside of computer scientists circles is his contribution to Breaking the Code of German naval Enigma system during the second world war.
He is regarded as one of the main contributors (behind the scene) to the Allies victory in 1945 against the Nazis.
Another exception, once again from the United Kingdom, is about Tim Berners-Lee, considered as the Inventor of the World Wide Web, who received numerous recognition around the world, and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, in 2004.
Despite what precedes, overall most programmers and computer scientists are less paid than sales people, MBA types, Designers, Doctors, etc. and it’s not easy for them to get laid on the first date. They are not artists, musicians, designers, architects, football players … Definitely they are not at the top of the sexual food chain.
Time magazine has been doing a great job naming up to 4 computers geeks “Person of the year” during the last 85 years: the The Computer in 1982, Andrew Grove in 1997, Jeffrey P. Bezos in 1999, Mark Zuckerberg in 2010.
However, it remains a long way to go before the celebration of computers geeks enters into the realm of everyday life, schools, streets, marketplaces, medias, etc.
So, it comes to me to wonder why programmers and computer scientists are not so highly regarded and rewarded accordingly? When I look around me, I wonder how the world will be without these nerds? From the iPhone, to your latest Gadget , none of these things will ever be possible without an army of these hard working folks.
Here is another annoying fact.
On October 8, 2011, Dennis Ritchie, the Inventor of C and Developer of UNIX died, almost at the same date as Steve Jobs (October 5, 2011). Ritchie’s death went completely unnoticed, and was only reported by few news portals, geeks’ blogs and forums. The President of the United States, the top national politicians, the top business executives, all news medias lavishly reported about Steve Jobs’s death, and spent countless hours of talk shows and magazine articles on his life, achievements, and legacy. But nothing similar for Dennis Ritchie.
My question here is “Are Dennis Ritchie achievements less than Steve Jobs’s achievements? Did Steve jobs achievements brought more change in more people life than Dennis Ritchie achievements?” If the answer is No, Damn how do you explain the situation!?
Now, from all the previous observations and questions, I went on to investigate, and some of my discoveries shocked me a lot, but also amused me immensely.
First discovery: Programmers have the fate they deserve. Their self esteem and self value is too low.
This manifests itself by a very singular phenomena: programmers hate each other. They usually bash other programmers when talking to non-programmers. Give the work a programmer to another programmer, and most of the time the comment will be negative about the work and the programmer.
Artists don’t do that.
Sales people don’t do that.
MBA types don’t do that.
Politicians do that only for joking to have votes.
Most of other prestigious professions support each other publicly, even when they are in competition (Look at lawyers for examples – Please, don’t ask me why these bastards rule America).
In few words, all above professions have a bigger sense of community, and are proud to be who they are and proud of what they are doing.
The crab mentality should Stop!

Rumor has it, if you put several crabs into a bucket, and if one of them begins to crawl out, one or more of the other crabs will put it back down and prevent it’s escape. It's called Crab Mentality. This is a good metaphor for life
Second discovery: Most people hate programmers.
Sales people hate programmers.
MBA Types hates programmers.
Designers hate programmers.
Programmers hate programmers.
Joe the plumber hates programmers.
Girls hate programmers.
Why? I don’t know. I found a lot of speculations here, here, and here
We need to have less haters
Third discovery: Programmers are not looking for these vanity titles, sexy ceremonies and awards, they hate the spotlight.
A Programmer wants to program. He want to be left alone to program. Programming is his mission, and the politics, the glories, public speeches are not interesting to him. He hates people who are not as smart as him, and hates more all the people who don’t understand the holy mission of programming with C++.
He then slowly convinces himself that he is born introvert, so he is afraid to go out, talk on the phone, go to the bar, meet politicians and strangers, all things that are in fact necessary to build up his social network and status.
Let have a dream from today.
1. Nerds deserve the Presidential Medals, the Congressional Medals or any kind of high level rewards that distinguish high achievement and contribution to society.
2. I’m a programmer, other programmers are friends, not enemies, therefore I swear I won’t talk them down in front of non-programmers. Repeat after me!
3. Programmers are brave and smart, but also funny people. “Introversion is not in the DNA, so I’m not born introvert, I can choose my attitudes and social masks at anytime” Repeat after me!
4. Complete the list … if necessary
Now is the best time ever in history for geeks. I love programing and I love programmers. It’s full employment period for geeks while the other guys have to beg for job

Sarah, a housewife, meets a man named Pete at the grocery store. Pete sells high-quality, environmentally friendly light bulbs. Sarah doesn’t have any need for a light bulb when she meets Pete, but as they strike up a conversation she mentions a few things she does need – a house cleaner, a mechanic, and a place to find vintage records.
Pete tells her he knows his sister is very happy with her house cleaner, and asks for her email address so he can follow up and give her the name later. He sends her the following email:
Hi, Sarah –
Good to meet you at the store; I enjoyed our conversation. I spoke to my sister Julia about her house cleaner and she recommends Lupe Velasquez at xxx-xxx-xxxx. She says feel free to mention her name when you talk to Lupe.
I remember you also said you were looking for a mechanic and a good vintage record store. I didn’t know myself, but I asked around a little bit, and I hear very good things about Hoshi Motors and Rockin’ Records on Broadway. Apparently the guy to talk to about vintage records is named Dan, and he works there on weekday afternoons.
Hope that helps! Looking forward to keeping in touch.
Best,
Pete
Sarah is grateful to Pete for his help, and her natural response to that gratitude is to do him a good turn in exchange. She introduces Pete a man she knows who does environmental design, and who may need light bulbs for his projects. She mentions his name to a friend who’s looking to cut her electric bill and to her brother the next time she’s with him at the hardware store buying new bulbs.
Why does Sarah put so much effort into helping Pete? Because Pete put so much effort into helping her, without expecting anything in return.
In exchange for the trouble Pete put into introducing her to his network of people, he now has three potential new clients, all of whom need what he’s selling.
If Pete had instead put his effort into selling Sarah a light bulb she didn’t want or need, he might have made a single sale, but Sarah certainly wouldn’t be as eager to refer him to others she knew. Sarah’s not likely to want to help out a random salesman. But she will want to help out – and introduce to her own network of people – a friend.
The power of reciprocity will always be in your favor. The Copywriter guru Brian Clark put it this way
“First, you’ve gone out and either found or created something to solve a need they told you about. You’ve done them a favor, and they’ll want to repay that. If they’re in the market to spend six figures on an automobile, you’re the person they’ll want to buy it from.”

Most ancient peoples defined population differences culturally, not physically, and often regarded lighter people as less civilized. Centuries later, European travel writers regarded the light-skinned Circassians, a k a Caucasians, as people best fit only for slavery, yet at the same time labeled Circassian slave women the epitome of beauty.
This is Book offer an undoubtedly provocative and intense insight into the deeper meanings of race and identity today. Written by a Black woman adds more to the sweetness and the controversy.
“Nell Irvin Painter’s book title, “The History of White People” is a provocation in several ways: it’s monumental in sweep, and its absurd grandiosity should call to mind the fact that writing a “History of Black People” might seem perfectly reasonable to white people. But the title is literally accurate, because the book traces characterizations of the lighter-skinned people we call white today, starting with the ancient Scythians.”
Great Book review at the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/books/review/Gordon-t.html?hpw
Can a Black historian write about white people history?
It’s a mind blowing book. Don’t be stopped by the skin color of the author. Haven’t white people been writing about people of color throughout history?
If you are interested in racial studies, immigration issues, Black & White classification? You’ll surely learn a lot from Nell Irvin Painter‘s book and better understand many contemporary issues.
