Would you turn down a gift of Facebook or Amazon stock?

Imagine an online platform that resembles a village, with shops, services, and neighborhoods that you can visit and interact with.  That is what we would have if we combined the abilities of Facebook and Amazon into one platform. Then if we gave this platform to its users to manage, they could decide what to do with the profits.   

Just as a village should belong to it's inhabitants, so too an online network should belong to it's users. 

The source of revenue for Facebook is the user, and for Amazon it is the customer. A business model that gives the user/customer a managerial participatory role would return value back to its users. If the value the company produces is returned proportional to participation then there is a big incentive to participate.

Because these systems are centered on an online database, participation, and contributions can be documented.  An open method for remuneration can be established that calculates user participation, and fairly distributes value. 

When users have an open participatory stake in the company they will provide greater assurances for the security of their data. A collaborative administrative platform will also provide for crowd sourced future innovation.

Unlike Facebook or Amazon the site incorporates database tools for marketing, it can do what Cambridge Analytica can do and more. This would be the first public tool that can be used for marketing commercial products or services, as well as political or social activities.

You will find two crude videos I made on the front page, that explain the basic concept, and say something about me. 

If interested please return the contact so we may further discuss the concept.
