"Your Own Branded Social Network" or YOBSN is a Social Network engine that offers a first of its kind opportunity to not only brand a company or individual but instantly connect them to millions of people around the world. YOBSN owners can brand and customize the portal by which their clients and friends access the social network creating top-of-mind awareness for their cause, product or service. Smart Media provides the important social media content and features and even the incentives for users to want to return and use the social network and YOBSN owners can create a second layer of content to their system by offering even more to their free users.
What makes YOBSN unique over other social networks is that they share their revenue not only with the YOBSN owner but also with the YOBSN owners free users. Like nearly all other social networks Smart Media earns the majority of its income from advertisers and they share this revenue with the people responsible for creating it. It is definitely an idea whose time has come. Users can enter contests daily to win cash and prizes. They can play free games for real cash and prizes and also earn points whenever they click on banner ads that interest them.
Users can earn points for referring others and these points can be spent in an online rewards store for digital or physical products. One might compare it to a frequent flyer program or rewards card program with one major exception being that users don't spend any money to earn them. Most rewards programs are simply discount programs where the discount may or may not ever be used. When someone uses a credit card to earn frequent flyer miles, for example, a small portion of the money that the person spent is used to create the free miles. So these miles may or may not be used in the future, and if enough of them are accumulated then
the person would have a need to use them. In essence the miles are not free the person is actually paying something for rtls.
The word "free" is used a lot in business but in many cases it is not actually free. For example, "Buy 2 get 1 free" sounds really good, but the truth is much less appealing to consumers when the truth is it is actually "Buy 3 and get 33%" off each item. 33% off of one item is not very appealing to consumers but add "If you buy 3" makes it even less appealing. So instead say "Buy 2 get 1 free" and consumers respond and that is because they think they are getting something for free when actually they are only getting a small discount.
However, with YOBSN it is actually free and the users never spend money to earn the rewards. The money for the rewards comes from advertising revenue generated by Smart Media. The YOBSN owner is not charged for the rewards that their free users earn. In fact, they actually earn money when their free users earn rewards. This money also comes from profits earned by Smart Media not by the YOBSN owner.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Nvidia, the world’s biggest maker of stand-alone graphics chips, says that its new chip is primed to run this year’s batch of high-end PC games — such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4. Numerous gamer-PC makers are launching new computers today based on the new 250-watt chip, which can execute 4.0 teraflops in single-precision mode.
It’s worth noting that game consoles always lag behind the PC in performance. That’s because console makers have to lock in on a design a couple of years ahead of the launch and then give that specification to game developers so they make launch titles. The custom chip takes a while to design, and it can be engineered better than a general-purpose PC to run games.
But PC makers have the advantage of just taking the fastest off-the-shelf graphics chip and marrying it with other state-of-the-art components. They can build a more modern machine that isn’t based on last year’s technology. So it’s no surprise that a new Nvidia graphics chip with expensive PC trappings will be able to run circles around game consoles that haven’t launched yet.
The Nvidia chip has a Kepler-based graphics processing unit (GPU) with 2,304 cores and 3GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory. Those specs are 50 percent more than its predecessor, the GeForce GTX 680. Rival Advanced Micro Devices says it has a faster graphics card, but it achieves that by putting two graphics chips in a single card.
The new cards based on Nvidia’s new chip will come with Nvidia GeForce Experience software, gaming drivers, and other advanced features. The card taps PhysX, which creates more realistic physics and motion in games. Players who really want a fast experience can gang multiple cards together using Nvidia’s SLI technology.
“The GeForce GTX 780 delivers the fastest framerate and smoothest animation at a value never before seen in PC gaming,” said Scott Herkelman, the general manager of the GeForce business unit at Nvidia. “This level of performance allows gamers to become fully immersed into a game the way the developers originally intended.”
Nvidia’s GPU Boost 2.0 technology will automatically increase the GPU speed for enhanced performance while maintaining temperature range and fan controls. The 780 GPU is available today from add-in card suppliers including Asus, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY, and Zotac. The chip is selling for $649. PC makers that will use the chip in gamer systems include AVADirect, Cyberpower, Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, Geekbox, iBuyPower, Maingear, Origin PC, Puget Systems, V3 Gaming, and Velocity Micro.
