UTAG

uTag (http://ut.ag/) is a turnkey system that allows web 2.0 sites and individuals to generate revenue and retain attention from every single outbound link. Rather than being punished for linking another site, by handing over the user's attention, tagging links with uTag captures that value in real money without any cost to the linker or linkee. uTag provides a true reflection of the value created by linking to another site. uTag was created by a group of five Sydney entrepreneurs during, ... amazingly, a 48hr entrepreneur 'exercise' event call Startup Camp. The team was one of three working and coding tyrelessly with little sleep for the duration of the weekend event in a borrowed board room overlooking Sydney Harbour. uTag has two implementation methods. For websites and platforms, site-wide implementation takes less than 2 minutes, costs nothing and requires no commitment. There is also an API for developers. The second implementation method is tag a single url for individuals to use in twitter posts, blog and forum comments and when the java script method is not an option. The business proposition is as simple as implementation; there are no upfront costs and the link creator gets the majority of the revenue generated by the link. Additionally, once a url is tagged with uTag, all revenue generated by the link is attributed to the original tagger forever. There's no time or usage limit. This could be a pivotal moment for the web, where for the first time the very nature of the web 2.0 world - linked content - is the basis of how people generate revenueMore
