Which in-turn may land you the job of a lifetime, as the next infamous social media representative of a lucky fortune 500.
EmpireAvenue ” is the Social Media Exchange, where you can invest in any social media profile by buying their shares, meet new people, unlock Achievement badges, and earn boatloads of virtual cash by being active and social online! Buy shares in your friends, your followers, people with similar interests, brands you love, celebrities – anyone! All using a virtual currency and all for free!” – excerpt from empireavenue.com about page.
I just signed up and am still figuring it out, navigating my way through the multiple features and functions. The interface is a bit overwhelming, but as I become more familiar with the architecture, I find more ways to interact.
Although Empire Avenue could use some help and feedback to fine tune its interface for better usability, don’t let it distract you from the fun factor. I’m sure your friends and colleagues would love to own a piece of you, well now they finally can. Just don’t sell yourself short !
