soundtagr was first conceptualized back in December of 2006 by a well known serial entrepreneur of Pakistani-Canadian decent. His first startup is the successful web2.0 venture, YouSendIt.com based in the Silicon Valley and backed by Alloy Ventures and Sevin Rosen Fund, two of the Valley's well known and reputed Venture Capital firms.
The original concept that the founder, Khalid Shaikh shared with me over a delectable lunch at Shalimar-Sunnyvale in the early part of December 2006 centered around creating a site for user generated Audio files, and so the reason for the domain http://www.soundtagr.com, registered at GoDaddy.com. However, if you visit the site now you will find that the scope has been extended to include all sorts of files and thus we get filetagr.
The underlying idea behind filetagr is: web sites are generating millions in company revenue from user generated content, but the person creating that content never gets a share of that revenue. So filetagr intends to give the revenue back to the user.
So how does it work? After a user subscribes to filetagr they have an option to upload a file to share. Whether it be audio files, video or event documents the type of file is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is once you upload your file, you are given a unique URL to share with your social network of friends and co-workers. For each click from a unique IP address you will earn around $0.01.
