A new web concept was launched a few months ago called Papble: http://www.papble.com. The idea behind Papble was to create an image wall made up of small blocks which could be purchased to support various ideas or organizations. The blocks can be purchased individually or in groups assembled to create a separate unique image on the wall. This is somewhat of a virtual time capsule and similar to bricks being purchased for a walkway to support a particular project. There are a possible 250,000 virtual blocks or “bricks” that can be purchased on this wall, each potentially supporting something different.
Any “brick” or block can be purchased for you to advertise yourself (either a link to something important to you, your business), a memorial to someone, make a funny statement or anything that you can imagine should be part of the virtual “brick” wall. When the wall is complete it will be a collage of randomly designed blocks and embedded, distinct images. The wall will exist for at least 5 years, with the desire to keep it up forever as a monument to the messages and images created.
No, Papble does not replace MySpace or Facebook, it is an exciting way for large groups of people to share. Be part of the Papble growth and watch the transformation every day. Find exciting “bricks” on the virtual walkway, share with your friends.

Papble Explained
A new web concept was launched a few months ago called Papble: http://www.papble.com/. The idea behind Papble was to create an image wall made up of small blocks which could be purchased to support various ideas or organizations. The blocks can be purchased individually or in groups assembled to create a separate unique image on the wall. This is somewhat of a virtual time capsule and similar to bricks being purchased for a walkway to support a particular project. There are a possible 250,000 virtual blocks or “bricks” that can be purchased on this wall, each potentially supporting something different.
Any “brick” or block can be purchased for you to advertise yourself (either a link to something important to you, your business), a memorial to someone, make a funny statement or anything that you can imagine should be part of the virtual “brick” wall. When the wall is complete it will be a collage of randomly designed blocks and embedded, distinct images. The wall will exist for at least 5 years, with the desire to keep it up forever as a monument to the messages and images created.
The way this works is simple:
1. Pick what you want to support from the left pane, for example the Celiac Disease Foundation, http://www.papble.com/imagedetail_big.php?id=118&sess=.
2. Pick the open “brick” that you wish to purchase.
3. Add the name you want displayed.
4. Add your message (and link to whatever, if you choose).
5. Purchase the “brick”, you can change your message until the entire wall is complete, however this “brick” will live at least 5 years, hopefully forever.
A few more details:
1. In effort to promote this effort, there is a generous referral program. Not having the means to market this and promote our idea, we chose a referral program to enlist help. The table below demonstrates an example of the way the referrals work. If you get 30 people to purchase 1 Papble, and each of those 30 purchases 1 Papble, and so forth, the payout to you would be $3,249 USD.
When you login to Papble, click the referral link button; use this link to send to people to ensure you receive credit for Papbles purchased by people you refer.
2. Papble is integrated with Facebook Connect and PayPal. There is never a need to give your personal information to Papble.
3. As you move your mouse around the wall you will see each of the messages that have been left.
4. The wall is meant to be fun while at the same time allowing for promotion of any ideas, your ideas, organizational ideas, funny concepts, there is even a place for putting a tribute to engaged couples (http://www.papble.com/imagedetail_big.php?id=82&sess=).
There is even a scavenger hunt starting at http://www.papble.com/papble.php?gotox=11&gotoy=16.
5. When the wall is complete, posters, t-shirts, and other memorabilia will be available for purchase as well.
6. The Papble wall is limited to 250,000 blocks, so do not be left out.

What is Papble?
First off, the following is a high level overview of what is Papble. Papble is a simply a graphical board of points. The idea is that people can buy their own dots to this board with an attached message. Papble includes a place for “group images” where people can add their own shapes for others to build on the wall. For instance, someone gave me the idea to add Michael Jackson’s glove, http://www.papble.com/imagedetail.php?id=64. People can go here and pick an open point and add their message and be part of the wall. People do have to purchase the papble; I will get to the thought process there in a minute.
So, I felt like this would be appealing on a number of fronts, first off I thought people would like the group aspect. I thought people would like being able to put their messages out there for low advertising. I thought watching the development would be cool, or just the hunt on the board for cool stuff.
As for the buying of the papbles, there were a few thoughts there. First, I wanted to limit just BS and try to cut down on the moderation required. I wanted this to be fun, but to stop the just crap. So if you are advertising $4.5 is pretty low even if you wanted to buy a block. And if you are an individual I wanted to keep the purchases per person pretty low to get more people. I thought that would make it more exciting. Also, part of this goes to the referral program. The referral amounts are significant, I gave up a lot more here than I wanted but I know how much I suck at marketing. The referral link below has the details for this, but I calculated that someone with a decent network could make over $3,000 pretty easily. And I thought someone with a fundraising group could use it, or whatever.
