The problem TakeMeTo solves

Websites like StumbleUpon and Digg worked well in the beginning but now they are just another website advertisement and spamming agencies (StumbleUpon is dead though). We thought of building a website discovery engine which rewards users who submit good quality websites with our own TM2 tokens.

How is TakeMeTo better than its competitors:

1. Quality checking - Each URL submitted by a user first goes through a vetting process before actually being introduced in the system. The vetting process is done by the members of the community. This ensures that no one person is able to spam the system.

2. Rewards - The problem with mainstream social media is that they use people to curate content from them and then do not reward their users with anything. TakeMeTo rewards users who post quality links by rewarding them with TM2 tokens. Community members who participate in the staking process also receive rewards for their contribution.

3. Reputation - Users who contribute well to the service are rewarded with reputation points and their voting value becomes higher.

All of our points make sure that the quality of the content that we have on the system is top-notch and spam-free.

Challenges we ran into

Building a reputation system was a big challenge. We looked into multiple projects that have built reputation systems over the time such as Augur, Reddit community points and relevant.community and they provided us guidance on how to do that.
