What is Pressyo?

Many startups were formed to address a specific problem or question. Pressyo was formed to address ONE question: What is good information?

One of the most parsimonious answers is that good information is information that has a high value. And the most common metric of value is price. Then, the question became: How do you discover the price of a specific information?

Without going into too much technicalities, Pressyo can be thought of as a market for information. It functions just like modern social-news websites, we allow the users to vote on links. Unlike others which give you the right to a single vote, on Pressyo you have to buy your right to vote.

Wait a second, vote-buying?

We understand the repugnance of turning the foundations of modern democracy on its heads. Why would you want to buy your right to vote? You want to buy your right to vote because you want your say. How much you paid to vote - translates to us as how valuable it is to you that the story you are voting for makes it to the top.

Buying your vote is rewarding - it grants you the ability to sell a right to vote to other people like you!

This means you can regain (or even profit) on the amount of Yos (That's how we call our currency) you spent buying your right to vote!

Voting on the right stories leads to getting more Yos - which leads to you being able to vote for more of your favourite stories on Pressyo. We then aggregate this information and present to you the best information. In the near future, this aggregate information will be tailored to suit your preferences.

Buy? Sell? What's this whole paying thing anyway?

Fear not, we will not be asking for your credit card, and we never will. We use an internal currency system - play money, if you will - which we call Yos. When you sign up, we give you plenty of Yos, so you can start voting immediately!

A word of warning though: Spend wisely - voting on spam or bad information could burn a hole in your Yos wallet :)
