The site looks great. However, I think you need to incorporate a demo of the commenting system somewhere on the site. The interactive image doesn't do it for me, I want to see the real thing. How you plan to monetize is definitely interesting. Since points are reputation, and points can be sold between users, reputation can be purchased? If so, I'm not a fan. You mention advertising templates, what is that? The only way points would be valuable $$ wise, for me, would be if I could spend them on advertising. The more I use your service and commit to the community, the more I get to advertise to the community. How do you plan to get developers to incorporate your services in their site? As a developer, I would only use your service if it provided: A) A great and easy to use API that can let me do interesting things. or B) An addition revenue model.

Hi! Thank you for your feedback! We had a real demo on the main website but later I've decided to replace it with screenshots. Now I am working on the video which should show all advantages of our widget for commentors. Also, I probably should mention on the main website that there is a way to test widget and commenting process on our demo website soliddemoonline.com Now about monetization. First of all each our website has own number or active/passive actions aka game rules with customizable price. So for example you can set price for embed image effect = -10 points and say that for each added comment user will get like +20 points. Totally we have around 20 interesting effects and around 20 more in mind) This way user who actively participate in conversation can earn enough points to have fun commenting. But on the other side it is possible for website owner to enable "Buy points" feature. It is our first monetization idea. In addition to this, we can show advertisement blocks on some predefined ad spots if publisher wants it. Also, one of ways how user can earn points is to share comments to social networks, and if someone clicks on that sharing link, he will get some points. So you as a website owner can attract more users to your website (high quality traffic). At this moment, we are working on Rewards system. Website owner can create specific rewards (it can be dissent code or event some promotional products) which you can buy using reputation points, so in this case user who actively participate in conversation will be rewarded. Btw. there is also "Revenue share" feature. You can specify some amount of revenue in % which you would like to share between active users in your community. So for active users it can be a way to earn real money. Ok and finally, about developers. We have API, at this moment it is not public because we are only in beta stagem but I think that in the feature it will be open to the community. Our API allows to do everything what can be done on the widget or in the configuration panel, so potentially it is powerful enough to create any UI/Plugins even mobile apps etc.. Thanks!
