The company reached out to us recently to review their offer and we've had some fun playing with it over the last few weeks.

They describe themselves as:

"Tapatap is "Your Contest Community" offering infinite contests for fun and prizes. Create your own contests to share and enter your photos to win. Explore the community and see how your votes stack up. Tap enough points and take home some goodies! Our mission is to create social entertainment networks where you and the community are the fun. You create it, share it, and play it wherever you are across both the web and mobile devices."

Here's our assessment:

Tapatap is a new (and cool) twist combining gaming, photo sharing and social networking. At its heart Tapatap is an online "community" where you play contests to win prizes. The twist is that the contests are created by the community rather than by the company.

You can win prizes in 3 ways:

1. By submitting photos in contests - as a contestant, you can win prizes by winning the popular vote
2. By creating your own contests - win prizes by getting people to vote (tap) in your contests
3. By voting in contests - earn the most voter taps by voting in contests

There are daily, weekly and monthly prizes to be won and prizes can be cash or other items.

If you're intrigued, I would suggest you check it out online yourself and you'll understand how addictive the site is. Note: from the looks of the community, the site caters to the 13-25 set but I'm 35 and had fun...

Tapatap was founded by three entrepreneurs, Isaac Babbs, Andy Riedel, and Ken Scott, who wanted to create a fun and rewarding community that could be accessed from your PC or on the go. They raised $2.5M last year from Gabriel Ventures, an early stage venture capital firm based in Silicon Valley.
