It is another social networking site. And as they describe themselves, read this:
"One of the amazing things about Zurker is that it's owned by small
investors, rather than venture capitalists. And that's not all.
Those small investors are also members here. New members can easily
earn a stake of ownership in Zurker, in the form of a
vShare, by inviting their friends."
Let's have a look what we found after some research.
Founder of Zurker?
Nick Oba:
A failed enterepreneur who started a magazine website and had to close it afterall.

User Interface:
It is average.
Considering their competition with Google+ and Facebook, the UI fails at providing anything new. I am amazed of people saying it a replacement of Facebook and Google+. The UI is not even user-friendly. When you are using Facebook you know what you are doing (even if you are doing nothing lolz:-) )
Referral system:
The network is emphasising on having vShares in it, but that is only to give hope to people who want to make some free living online. Continous feeding of advantages of referal system. And having vShares in the company. Man, a normal person will end up in frustation. As I did.
And if you
use referral links posted on some random FB page or a blog, you end up
looking at people you don’t know or you don't want to know. You simply find some strangers out there.
Comparison with social networking giants (is it really comparable??? I doubt!):
It could be a good competition, but they have somewhere lost their value by over comparing with other dominanat social networking leaders. They are insecure bunch of peoples who are trying to fight with Facebook or Google+. They have shown their insecurity on their FAQ page by taking names of other social giant.
Zurker is currently in beta testing,
and is not available to the general public without an invitation.
