The Camnob Khmer music site (www.Camnob.com), a new Cambodian music and social media site, is welcoming new members by offering the chance to win popular gifts such as iPods through a unique points system.

KHMER MUSIC social network, where members earn points by signing up and participating in the network, and points can be used to earn gifts such as iPods.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia – March 22 2008 – social networks are a common communication tool between friends, family, and even colleagues trying to keep in touch in a web 2.0 world. Now a new Cambodian social network and entertainment portal called Camnob Khmer music (www.Camnob.com) is taking social networking a step further by offering rewards like iPods and Sony Play Station Portable (PSPs) to members with maximum points. Members of the free social network can earn points to win prizes in the newly launched beta program by simply interacting through signing up, leaving comments, inviting friends, rating media, and submitting media files.

“Where other social networks use their free user-generated content to earn a profit without giving much back to members, Camnob aims to be different,” says Sokhodom Pheng, founder of Camnob Khmer Music. He even said, Camnob believes in rewarding users for being the backbone of the site, and we want them to feel invested in the network. When they help the service grow by becoming members, posting comments, or more, they’re contributing to a community that belongs to them in a way, and they should be able to earn rewards related to the growth they help create. We want Camnob to be a user-centric network, where Cambodian people can meet, share ideas, and be entertained, all while getting recognition for their participation.

In addition to the beta points and rewards program, Camnob Khmer music allows members to upload their favourite Khmer videos, watch (Karaoke Television ) KTV through integrated YouTube videos, personalise their profile pages, and invite their contacts from popular services such as Gmail, Yahoo!, and MSN easily. In an effort to protect media owners’ copyrights, Camnob does not allow downloading of audio or video content from the network. Presently prize options include- iPods and the Sony PSP. Additional prizes may be added in the future, and the site management will consider member suggestions.
