Over the past few years, there has been an explosion of social media - as well as many fundings. However, it hasn’t been easy for social media platforms to standout.
But, as for Wetpaint, things have been moving nicely. In fact, the company has announced a $25 million venture round (in all, the company has raised $40 million). The investors include: DAG Ventures, Accel Partners, Trinity Ventures, and Frazier Technology Ventures.
Essentially, Wetpaint grants you to create your own social media site - with pictures, blogs, videos and so on. So far, there are more than one million sites - with about a half a billion words (keep in mind that the system is extremely simple to use).
More importantly, Wetpaint has had lots of success monetizing the traffic, which is no easy feat when dealing with user-generated content. Even though, Wetpaint’s pages are optimized for major search engines, allowing for cost-effective traffic. And now with much more money in the bank, there’s prone to be a further push to get users to create many more sites.

The fifth level includes two additional bedroom suites and the sixth level includes another bedroom suite with a fireplace and dressing room and the seventh level is the roof terrace.

Someone asked me this question today. With Mother’s Day just behind us and Father’s Day coming up, it’s a good time to consider this question.
Do we owe our parents anything for having raised us, given us values, taught us to mind our manners and be respectful? What if we were raised in an abusive family?
Do we feel our kids owe us anything?
I’d like to know what you think.
