What is Zurker? The name itself nods a dig to the creators' arch nemesis, Mark Zuckerberg. And they don't stop there! Designed and developed by the Winklevoss Twins (yes, that's proper) Zucker gives every member something called vShares, which is essentially ownership in the company.

Members don't just own their data, they own their network. Every Zurker user can easily become a future shareholder of Zucker - just by means of referrals. It's true, you know, that many of these member sites want you to refer your friends - but what do you get out of it? Nothing. The venture capitalists, who are already billionaires, are capitalizing on the growth of their social website - while you do all the work!
Zurker Doesn't "LIKE" - it "ZURKS"
The Winklevoss twins heard the complaints from Facebook users and completely changed the game. Why is there ONLY a "like" button on Facebook? What does that accomplish? Sure, I'll "like" the picture of your puppy - but what if you post some sad news and I want to acknowledge that I read it and am *thinking* of you? Well, Zurker has zurks. To Zurk means to appreciate the fact that the member shared the information. It means to support the intent behind the act of sharing, and it can mean to like, to love, to commiserate, to respect, to admire - as appropriate.

MORE INFORMATION
Taken directly from their website, here is the rundown of information ABOUT Zurks:
Connects and Subscriptions
But what if you are Johnny Depp, and millions of people want to connect with you? You'd be getting thousands of connects every day. Not a problem - if you get more connects than you can comfortably handle, you can restrict your connects. Only those with the required information (such as your mobile phone number, or the name of your pet) will be able to connect with you.
It's still possible to keep up with celebrities, though, by subscribing. A subscription is a one-way follow like you have on Twitter or GooglePlus. The difference - and this is a very crucial difference - is that members are not notified when someone subscribes. This is to discourage indiscriminate subscriptions aimed solely at generating reciprocal subscriptions, also known as SPAM.
Nickname Aliases
The names of members in your contacts with nicknames you've set appear in italics.
Street and Home
On the Street, meanwhile, you will find out what's been happening with your contacts or subscriptions. If someone posts an update or uploads a photo, you'll see it on Street.
To get to your Streeme (Street + Home) from anywhere on Zurker, simply click on the Zurker logo.
The Zurker development team has developed fairly sophisticatedagglutination technology to ensure that you don't get overwhelmed by specific users or items. All events under Street are agglutinated, and many are agglutinated under Home too. Note to our dear friends at Palo Alto and Mountain View - we have patents pending for all this so drop us a line before copying it.
Tags
When you post an update, you can specify your audience by checking the tags. This determines who will receive news about the update. For example, if you are posting about a bake sale, you might check the tags "school" and "scouts". If you are posting about a rumor of the impending demise of Globodyne Corporation, you might want to check the tag "office."
Similarly, you can quickly and easily check or uncheck tags when on the Street, to filter what you see. Uncheck "morons" and you won't get any news from people whom you tagged as "morons." Uncheck everything except "family" and you'll find out only what's happening with your blood relatives only.
For some screenshots and more details, view our page on tags.
Updates, Finds and Photos
Finds are links from the web, such as websites, pictures, videos, news stories, blog entries, and so on. If your post is specifically to share a link, then use Find instead of Update.
Photos are... photos. You can keep them in albums. You can specify the audience and the visibility (who gets notified about it and who sees it) for each individual photo, or you can let the default album settings take effect. Other members can zurk or comment on your posts, photos, and finds.
Profile Notes

vShares are so important that we have a separate page devoted only to vShares.
