What is Moneza?

Moneza is a social platform designed to help you connect all of your social networking sites in one place.  This makes it easy to integrate and update all places.  So instead of needing to login to Facebook, Twitter, Plaxo, Tumblr, etc., you just use Moneza.

Is Moneza an MLM? Is Moneza a Pyramid Scheme?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!  There is no scheme here.  Have you ever heard of affiliate marketing?  Let’s make the example of Tupperware.  Your friend Betty has a party at her house.  You go.  You get some stuff.  Then Betty asks if you would like to have a party at your house and if you do, you’ll share in the sales.

Now that’s affiliate marketing.  You are an affiliate of Betty, so you are “under her”.  Is that a scheme?  NO!  Neither is Moneza.

In fact, there’s nothing for you to buy at Moneza.  You refer someone, they are “under you”.  They refer someone, they are “under them” and in all actuality, “under you”.  I guess you get points for the people you refer and the people they refer.

Not a scheme at all.

When is Moneza Launching?

Moneza is launching soon.  In fact Beta Testing is almost over, so hurry NOW and Join Moneza.

Phase I of Moneza will be the release of MeCards.  To better explain what MeCards are, watch this video:

facebook_1Reports from the Guardian and the Global Dashboard claim that Facebook threatened to sue Daily Mail. This is due to an article that wrongfully claimed that the social network giant makes it easier for older sex predators to seduce and approach minors.

The article was written by Mark Williams-Thomas, a former police detective. His original title for the said article was “I Posed as a Girl of 14 on Facebook. What Followed Will Sicken You”. The writer talked about his experience when he posed as a minor on Facebook and how he was able to attract sexual predators immediately.

daily-mail2-oThe real issue was that the author was not using Facebook in his experiment and in truth was using a different social networking site. The article was updated at the bottom by the Daily Mail staff. The full text of the update goes this way:

“In an earlier version of this article, we wrongly stated that the criminologist had conducted an experiment into social networking sites by posing as a 14-year-old girl on Facebook with the result that he quickly attracted sexually motivated messages. In fact he had used a different social networking site for this exercise. We are happy to set the record straight.”

The article had caused a strong response from Facebook. According to the Guardian, a UK spokeswoman for Facebook said that the company was considering taking legal actions as the article has damaged its reputation. Aside from the erroneous reporting, Facebook do not accept members below 18 years old and has measures already in place to prevent that kind of behavior from taking place.
