Zivity

edit

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.

In July 2009 Zivity spun off Top Fans into a separate company.
