			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got my invite for <a href="http://www.lockerz.com" target="_blank"><strong>Lockerz</strong></a>, a fresh community where you can earn points, also known as <strong>Pointz</strong> (or &#8220;<strong>PTZ</strong>&#8220;), and trade them for gifts like a Macbook, an iPod and so on.</p>
<blockquote><p>Lockerz is an invitation-only website created to connect members through commerce, content and social networking. Once invited, you&#8217;ll be able to watch exclusive video, buy great products, discover new music, play games, and connect with friends. You&#8217;ll be able to do this all in one place, AND you&#8217;ll get rewarded for just doing the things you love. When you watch a video, play a game, or even log in, you&#8217;ll earn Pointz (or &#8220;PTZ&#8221;) Lockerz own form of currency. Turn around and redeem your PTZ for incredible merchandise, unique experiences and exclusive deals and sales.</p></blockquote>
<p>Personally, I have to say that I am impressed. And this is one of the very few times that I am impressed by such kind of service. Not only by the quality of this service but also by its, almost hidden, business model. And here are a few reasons why <strong>Lockerz</strong> impressed me:</p>
<h3><strong>The name</strong>.</h3>
<p>It is quite quite memorable isn&#8217;t it? And cool, too.</p>
<h3><strong>The logo</strong>.</h3>
<p>The logo design and the typography used is reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally good. It is smooth and stands out.</p>
<h3><strong>The web interface</strong>.</h3>
<p>I just hate it when I see Web 2.0 startups in 2010 using awful user interface because it feels like going back where using HTML frames was cool. Well, be sure that <strong>Lockerz</strong> is definitely <strong>NOT</strong> one of those startups. Lockerz&#8217;s web interface is quite attractive.</p>
<h3><strong>Everything else</strong></h3>
<p>From Lockerz&#8217;s favicon to that Lockerz Ceramic Coffee Mug, this thing is a top-notch product and you should give it a try.</p>
<p>It is quite interesting that a video web service like this suddenly feels so attractive for business. Lockerz offers a very attractive business model that wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if one day I find out that there are users out there spending many-many-many hours watching videos online. Oh wait a minute. This is already happening. Plus now you get to win a free iPod. ;)</p>
<p><strong>So, did you get your pointz today?</strong></p>
