HOBOKEN, NJ September 20, 2010 – Today Instant Jury (www.instantjury.com), the court of public opinion, acquired www.onthejury.com, a similar jury-of-your-peers type website where anonymous users post arguments and have the public jury vote for a winner.
“We are very excited to open up the Instant Jury community to the faithful users of On the Jury,” states Scott Kaufman, Marketing Director for Instant Jury. “We have a special awards system in place for On the Jury users so they can transition to our site’s system without having to start over [accumulating award points].”
Instant Jury awards points called Jury Credits to its users for completing daily tasks such as leaving comments or voting on cases. The jurors accumulate points and acquire various levels of status to form the Grand Jury on the site’s homepage.
“We are developing new programs with various partners for the Jury Credit system such as a redeemable prize bar and special site privileges based on status,” says Kaufman. “ It will be an interesting study to see if someone is willing to trade-in a social network status for monetary value.”
Instantjury.com has a global user base of 2,500 members and growing.
