Zivity

Zivity, a San Francisco start-up which launched at TechCrunch40 in 2007, is a subscription and vote-based artist/fan interaction platform that sits at the intersection of American Idol, MySpace and HBO.

Zivity celebrates and rewards the greatest artists through crowdsourced curation and editorial moderation of photography and videos featuring comedy, music, animation and performance art.

Fans interact with artists and vote for their favorite content. Zivity’s dollar-backed votes distribute cash payments to the content producers.

An open public launch is scheduled for 2009, but you can sign up for a free trial at www.zivity.com

An embarrassing exercise in softcore smut. Sad to think they didn't have enough creativity to avoid the embarrassment of picking low hanging fruit.

Yes, Zivity has the right idea.

I've seen smaller, crappier websites get over $15M in angel investing only to fall flat on their face within a few months. They have a cool name and not a bad idea, but I don't think it's going anywhere.

Yawn. Honestly, revenue sharing is nothing new. Neither are women posting sexy photos. Smashing two things together doesn't always make an interesting one. Oh, and their presentation...talk about cheesy and lack of enthusiasm.

Great to see an adult oriented startup to add to the mix..
