Have you heard About Qassia yet? New social site.

I just signed up myself and am still trying out all the bells and whistles. From what i see it is a totally new form of social bookmarking site / article directory / article marketing venue. Heres what i could find about the site online, which is not much since the site is so new.

Here is the write up and a few stats that i took directly from the website.

Users 17,718
Sites 17,517
Intel 24,609
Original Intel 9,709
Banned Users 90

I like that banned thing because that means they are keeping the spam down so the search engines will see them as a legitimate contender. Heres more..

About Qassia
Qassia is a credit-driven intelligence engine coupled to a cascading tag-based web directory. What exactly does this mean? It means that Qassia will change your life.
Good stuff your websites will like
At Qassia, you can add your websites for free, and without having to add reciprocal backlinks. You'll get unlimited quality backlinks (as opposed to "no-follow" backlinks). You can also add intel. Short for "intelligence", intel is a tidbit of information. Qassia rewards users who add intel in three ways.

1. Backlinks You get one backlink for every piece of intel you add. Every intel will carry a direct backlink to one of your sites. So the more intel you add, the more backlinks you get.

2. Credit When you add intel, you also get credit, in the form of Qassia dollars. Your net worth in Qassia dollars determines how well your websites rank in our directory.

3. Revenue When your intel is displayed, you get 100% of the advertising revenue generated by that page. That is not a typo, by the way: we give you ALL of the gross ad revenue.

This means that website owners have triple incentive to contribute intel. The contributed intel will allow Qassia to become a vast repository of intelligence, with unrivalled original content. And a vast amount of original content draws traffic like honey draws ants.

I am sure everyone here knows about it already but if not i had to drop a note. Of course you can check out my page and signup through my link or go around it. It looks like it might get to be good because its innovative and different and those things usually workout.

If this is old news disregard. I hadn't heard of it but when i looked at the site it seemed like it was well made and stuff so ....
