Description:
projectstars is a talent network where professionals from across the world blog about their passions in order to increase their brand awareness and gain more business. A mix of traditional job board and social/business network, projectstars could be seen as a Gartner for the Web 2.0 world.
In a first for the social networking industry, every three months projectstars gives away shares to members who contribute the most to the growth of the community as a whole. Points are earned through successful invites to the network, contributing great content, and gaining paid projects through projectstars star project system, where projects are rated on a five star rating system. Those with the most points win shares, and their score also acts as a guide to the level of their talent and experience
