Free IQ is a new site --still in the beta stage-- that may revolutionize the way people access information on the internet. It is free to join, and all members can both access and upload content. The focus is on material that contains valuable information of some kind. Free IQ already has quite a bit of content; the favored medium seems to be video. It is not a direct competitor of something like YouTube, where most of the videos are for purely entertainment purposes. Free IQ is meant to be a virtual knowledge center. So far, there are quite a few articles and videos pertaining to internet marketing. This is, no doubt, because internet marketers were among the first to see the site's potential. The format, however, is meant to accommodate expertise in just about any field. The way the system works is that the content is ranked by the site's members. The more popular or useful an item is, the more people will rank it highly, and the closer it will be to the top of the listings. This makes Free IQ a kind of populist search engine, as opposed to traditional search engines, where listings are usually dominated by the most savvy marketers (not necessarily those offering the best content). So the format of IQ is that of a search engine; indeed, the home page looks like a typical search engine page. The content, however, is much more focused and value-filled than on a typical search engine. There is also a social networking aspect to FreeIQ; a page where members describe themselves and can create their own mailing list. There is also a two-tier affiliate program which is free to join. This means affiliates earn commissions on anything purchased by those who sign up under them, and also on the second level; that is, they earn commissions on sales made by affiliates of their affiliates. Despite the commercial nature of much of the site, what stands out about FreeIQ is, as the name implies, the amount of free content. There is plenty of free content on the net, of course, but most of it is trivial. There's nothing wrong with trivia, but it's also good to have a place to be able to access some useful knowledge. As with any new enterprise, we can only guess what the future will bring for Free IQ. The very nature of the format is experimental; it's fate will be decided by the fickle internet masses. I am hoping it will succeed and become larger and more diverse, if only because it represents a real potential for lots of free information on the net.
