For those who haven't heard, social media network Facebook is about to go public with a valuation of roughly $100 billion. Unfortunately, only a few dozen insiders are likely to make an absolute ‘killer' return.

Right now Zurker is still very small (especially in comparison to Facebook) – we are talking about several 100.000s of members as we speak globally, so you are unlikely to find (m)any of your friends or family on Zurker.

It could 'challenge' Facebook’s domination of the social media world . . . well, one day perhaps. And when that happens wouldn’t you wish that you could have owned a stake in it at its start?
At the moment Zurker’s membership, and free ‘Vshares’, is by invitation only. So < href="http://www.zurker.co.uk/i-160349-bumlzvhfxg">here’s your invite. By the way 'Vshares' stands for virtual shares.
Currently, Zurker is quietly being built behind the scenes, and in doing so, those who are helping to build it by inviting others to join for free, Zurker is giving away two free Vshares in…
