Yet another web 2.0 type site is circulating through the blogshpere. It is called Qassia. One thing I have learned in my time blogging is that some fads fizzle and some take off like a Triton Missile. But the most important things is the people who get in on the ground floor tend to be the ones who benefit the most from these new ideas. So I decided to jump aboard even though I am still not quite sure what this Qassia thing is all about.
Now the way I understand how Qassia works is you submit your intel. Which means you submit your recipes, tutorials or basically any information you think others may find relevant. Then other users rate it and you get paid in Qassia dollars. The amount varies dependent on how your content was rated. Now if Qassia earns revenue from your intel through adsense you get 100% of that revenue. Sounds good doesn’t it?
So whats the catch? Well as of yet I am not sure, but there has to be one. First off when you submit your “intel” your are limited to 25 images and 10 external links. So I large photoshop tutorial is out of the question. Unless one posts a summary and then links back to the original tutorial.
Yet another thing to eat up my valuable time. But it is not a total loss as it did help my friend Nicole earn $500.00 in Qassia money. As always I will keep you updated as I learn more.

My understanding of Qassia is that you earn credits for intel submitted, and also get a back link for each item of intel. Credits can also be earned for ’screening’ intel other people submit. The more credits you have, the higher the rating of your site(s) - if you have several sites, it works like traffic exchanges, you allocate a percentage of your balance to each site. After the happy experience I’ve had with Entrecard, I’m curious to see how it develops;-D

To be honest, I signed up and haven’t done anything else with it. I have been too busy perfecting my code as of late for my wordpress plug in.
