Talicious is a site that allows people to get “discovered.” People post their talent, it gets categorized and indexed, and then the public rates them. The higher the rating, the higher their video goes on the chart. It is a pretty simple idea and easy to implement. I admit, my first thought was that it reminded me of “The Gong Show,” but really that just ages me. Obviously, there is a market for “talent” out there because there is a popular TV show with this exact premise. And thus it seems plausible that the idea of finding talent can be tranferred online in some way. On the other hand, the site had minimal talent content and little traffic, so either it is just getting known or is not what the “scouts” are looking for right now.
In their own words:
TALICIOUS is a talent community website that allows talented people to share their talents, communicate with other interesting people and be discovered by scouts or agencies who can easily search the site.
TALICIOUS was born out of the idea to give talented people the chance to show the world their talents and if they want to, be discovered. We have tried to make this as easy as possible; both for the talents to upload their profile and for their friends, family and people with the same interest as well as scouts to find them.
Basically, TALICIOUS is a community for talented people and those that work with them.
Anyone who has a talent can upload a media (videos, pictures, audio files or word documents) to show his or her talent. Talents are grouped in different categories so that they are easily searchable and can then be rated by users. The average rating determines the talent’s position in the category.
The focus of the site are the talents. We aim to have only original talent media from people who would like to show their talents to the world, and for everybody to be able to rank and discuss those talents, related news, gossip, locations, equipment or anything else. Like music charts, talents will move up and down the ranking which is determined by our users.
There are other great websites where you can up-load your media, but because we are focused purely on Talented people, you have a much better chance of being seen and maybe even ‘discovered’.
Why this site might be a killer:
It seems like an innovative and potentially successful way for people to match talent and opportunities. The site is well-designed and easy to use.
