Bidbugs.com is a place where users can come and get cool products for free such as ipods, tvs, laptops and more.
Concept :
The concept is based on the basic principle of giving out free information in return for revenue from advertisements. Bidbugs.com replaces the concept of information with that of giving out free products.
Users will have to compete for free to get free items by “biting” them. At the end of the auction the person with highest number of bites will win.
Platforms : General website, facebook App and Myspace App.
Area of Operations : International
Type of Site : Free online Auctions
Registration : Required
Commercial? : Yes
Owner: Bidbugs Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.
Launched : October 2009
Current status : Active
Functioning:
Every week, several new products will go up for auction. Users will have to go on bidbugs.com and “bite” the products. Ie, press the “bite” button. This is for free. Each bite will be registered in the users name. At the end of the auction, the person with the highest number of bites, will be given out the product for free.
There are 2 types of bites: combo bites and single bites.
1 combo bites = 20 single bites
Single bites are unlimited and free whereas combo bites are also free but limited (if one earns them instead of buying them)
Combo bites will given out on a daily basis when a user logs in daily. For getting more combo bites, a user will have to send invites and requests to friends or promote bidbugs.com in twitter, tumblr, friendfeed, become a fan on facebook page, etc. or buy the bites for a negligible rate
