Tsu had s really interesting business model: pay people for the content they post. Think about it, you post on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram and countless other social media sites and all the while those sites are being paid to run advertising to you and are collecting information about you in order to market you to other services. Sure, you get a great service that allows you to collect with people, but were you being compensated for your dozens of posts each day?
No. But that's where Tsu came in. If Facebook is making money by selling advertising to you, then why shouldn't you get a cut?
Unfortunately, Tsu took a page out of a ten year old playbook. Send emails to your address book; post to Facebook, Twitter and every other site, spamming your friends with constant requests to join. Because, the more your content is seen the more you get paid.
And it seemed like it might work. People like making money for doing exactly what they're already doing, right?
Well, no. People like Facebook. For all its (many) faults, Facebook is where they have time and effort built up over years. That's where their games are registered, where their photos are hosted and where they get the most Likes and comments.
Tsu never had a chance. Without a strong core of influential users no social media upstart is going to tackle the ivory tower that is the Book of Faces.
