Wow someone copied SocialBin

[Plattiinum]

Hello,

So as some of you may be aware, recently some folks have created a cool website called SocialBin. On this website you buy and sell things relating to social media and whatnot. Basically, some copycats created another IDENTICAL website called media-mart. I actually think that is really funny. But not only are they stealing business from SocialBin, but there are advertising on SocialBin for people to join their website. So from this you can see how these people are total dicks. They claim "our staff is better" when in reality they are the ones advertising. If anyone from here has joined that website you should be ashamed (and I know a few people who have). And I know some people are going to talk to me, saying things like "Oh it is just business" and yes, while competition between companies is normal, they completely copied socialbin and advertised and everything. Total dicks I tell you.

I'm not going to lie Media-Mart's design is way better imo. I don't appreciate how they advertise on SocialBin, but did you see how many knockoffs of Flappy Bird came out after it blew up?

People are going to do this stuff. It happens. There's even a ghetto MCM (not gonna state the name). It happens, I don't think ranting about it on here will change anything.

What are you talking about? The design is the exact same.

That's actually really sad. How do people expect to get a good site running by copying. Feel bad for SocialBin owners/staff.

SocialBin is probably going to loose a lot of money and people because of this

Actually it isn't.



If SocialBIN is as good as you say, then all of the members should really stay at SocialBIN. I do not see how they will lose much money.

EDIT: I am not on Media-Mart, but I saw that a bunch of people from SocialBIN advertised on there before they did it on SocialBIN. And it was only one person for what I know.

If it isn't the same then they have changed it since I have been on there. (I was banned on their forums)

Can't you just go to the link and see?

I think they blocked me or something because I cannot connect to it xD

SocialBin should have no problem tearing media-mart to shreds. They just need to advertise correctly and once they start making a profit they will probably start doing other things to media-mart if you catch my drift. That's how it usually goes between forums that compete.

Who cares? It's called competition. The consumer wins.

There is still a difference between copying and competition.
