Wow, it's getting really close to BETA time :) We are wrapping up our Token feature so that it integrates with our gaming system; we feel it will add another layer to competition and enjoyment for people. In addition, Tokens will play into our bigger plan down the road with businesses but we'll get into that later.
Everyone who signed up for the beta on the front page will be emailed on November 1st to register and they will have first priority, everyone else will be first come first serve. The video previews I have up are kind of outdated now especially the How-to use one. Many things have changed, so I will be posting up a new one probably a day before Beta opens. There will be a help guide also within MyLifeRank that shows how to use all the features as well.
Last thing is we just put MyLifeRank on Indiegogo.com which allows users to contribute if they feel strongly about MyLifeRank. For those interested, the link is here http://bit.ly/ceQShV

This is a how to use video for MyLifeRank that shows the basic functionality along with some helpful tips. This video should be useful for those signed up for the private beta. The features shown in here are still in beta stage and things will probably change in the future along with new additions. Also for those who haven't seen the site yet, this should be a real treat as well :) For a bigger YouTube version click here.

To Build Something Better...Web 3.0 Generation
From George:
Recently I read an article on TechCrunch on How Facebook can become bigger in five years than google is today and it was a very interesting read in terms of what Facebook could do within their ecosystem. With the amount of users Facebook has, they can very easily make new apps or features industry leading instantly. But what really intrigued me was how the author ended the article, it was a call for people to build something better. He questioned why no one was trying to build a better social network and said he will help as much as he can for anyone who is trying to and even offered a connection with a VC. Well unfortunately after I reached out to him, he neither helped nor made the connection for us with the VC. But we at MyLifeRank shares the same view with him in terms of why no one even tries to compete with Facebook anymore. All of the new start up sites these days are either an add-on for Facebook or an app within Facebook, seems like everyone has just given in.
Well today Mashable put up an article showing a global map view of all social networks from 2007 and 2010 and it's truly amazing to see how things have changed in the last three years. These days with the Internet it's all about innovation, if you stop innovating you get crushed.
I am not saying that MyLifeRank will ever overtake Facebook but it does show how much things can change within a very short time. I do believe there is a place for MyLifeRank and our unique network can very well change how the Web 3.0 generation will turn out. Almost everything you seen on the social network map for 2010 relates to something a person does online, very little actually encourages or motivates people to go outside to socialize. The very term of being "social" has been defined with the Web 1.0 or Web 2.0 generation as doing things with your friends online or engaging in what they have done in the past. MyLifeRank wants to start the Web 3.0 generation by offering a network and the tools necessary to get people to get off the computer to socialize.
