Hi guys, I’ve just heard about this new
website coming out in September/ October time I think.I’ve read a press release that said it’s a
U.K online community, where you can create profiles, upload videos, pictures,
chat, meet like minded people and friends, form groups, download songs, videos
etc.It is the first of its kind, as it is made
by a group of U.K students and graduates for people their own age in the
to tag onto American websites, so its refreshing that we have one just designed
for us. Another feature I read about
which I liked is the fact that anyone can join i.e. it is not only open to students. Therefore, I believe we should get behind and
support it!There also offering a membership scheme
where you can get mobile phones, Ipods, USB memory sticks (around 10-20%
cheaper then the shops), free texts, ring tones etc. In the article I read these guys said that
young people especially students need to make their finances go that bit
further. Therefore they have organised
concessions which they will be able to give with a large number of members on
the website.I’ve also read that if you are an unsigned
fashion designer then you can send in your designs and if they are voted for as
popular by the community, they will either make these clothes for real and sell
them on the site or put them forward to big clothing companies. They are doing the same thing with unsigned
music artists.Basically they said they want to make it
the place to be if you are in your late teens or a young adult on the net. They want it to become more then just a
meeting place but more a one stop shop.
For example a place where you can buy cheaper goods, buy limited edition
clothes designed by unsigned fashion designers, play online classic arcade
games like Pacman and Sudoku, find advice on issues affecting young people
(such as debt, safety when going out etc).
It said in the article that they are going to launch a mobile tariff
comparison service (which is so needed!) and another killer feature the U.K’s
first National Club Directory. As a
student I’m fed up of fliers and not knowing where to go out so these guys being
ex students themselves said there need to be a service where you can type in
what type of music, where and it will give you the results with other relevant
info such as what the dress code is, the price, how to get there, what the
place looks like etc.Anyway the main thing that got me reading
about the site is that for promotion of clubhunt.co.uk, they are holding a NATIONAL STREET DANCE COMPETITION
(breakdancing, body popping, locking, street jazz and routines you see in hip
hop/pop videos). It’s for 16-25 year
olds and is FREE TO ENTER. The first
rounds will be held in most town/cities, followed by regional rounds, then the
final inThe prize money is £100,000 (that’s more
than Big Brother!). As they are a new
start up of graduates doing something productive and for other youngsters it
said that they secured this prize money from a wealthy donor who likes to help
young business start ups which are doing something good socially. They have such high prize money they said to
cause a shock and let people know in a short space of time about the site. I mean when was the last time you heard of a
proper national street dance competition.
It seems that as these guys are young and from the U.K themselves they
know what’s in and what we want. I mean
people into hip hop, street dance etc are not given much attention into this
country. They’re also going to be
filming the stages and putting them on the website (bit like a dance idol),
that should be wicked.I’ve entered and signed up on the site
(this is only their preview page it looks
really cool), I don’t expect to win (I’m only a beginner in breakdancing), but
it will be a laugh anywayLog On and Register now if you want to take
part, the more of us the better (plus who wouldn’t want a stab at £100,000),
that’s my student loan taken care of!
When you sign up and recommend 10 friends they are also giving away 1000
ipod Nano’s for launch in September!
Also sign up now to register to watch the rounds, as it said only a
limited number of users can view the rounds on the site. It also said in the article that they have
the capacity initially to let only a limited number of people join the site and
community (which is free to join, they have already had 5000 members join in
the space of a fortnight). All my mates have signed up to view me in
action See ya there peeps!
