Social Rewards, a social loyalty platform, has closed a seed round of angel funding totaling $600,000. The company was self-funded for a year with $250,000 from founders Joseph Morin and Mike Uesugi before raising any outside capital, and exceeded its original funding goal of $500,000.

Social Rewards provides a brand’s customers with loyalty points for engaging in social media activity via Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and YouTube. Points may be earned, deposited, redeemed, donated, or transferred into a “bank” built on the Social Rewards platform. The offering combines social media, affiliate marketing, and loyalty rewards to help companies identify brand ambassadors and increase social engagement.

At the core of Social Rewards is the ability to capture ROI from social media via a tracking URL. This capability allows companies to follow brand messages and engagement throughout the lifecycle of a tweet or Facebook post all the way to sales conversion where additional points may be awarded providing additional incentive. Full analytics reporting of brand mentions, clickthroughs, retweets, shares, and sales conversions are available through an administrative dashboard.

Cognitive scientists say that the reason some people can’t relax on a Sunday afternoon isn’t a personality flaw — it’s a nervous system that was conditioned to associate stillness with the moment before something went wrong

Research suggests the teenagers who entered manual and trade work in the 1960s and 70s developed a physical intelligence that modern workplaces have almost entirely eliminated — the ability to read a material by touch, to diagnose a machine by sound, to estimate a measurement by sight — and those skills weren’t taught in any formal sense, they were absorbed through repetition in environments where getting it wrong meant injury, waste, or public humiliation from a man who learned the same way 20 years earlier

Psychology says the reason reverse age gap relationships are rising isn’t about older people chasing youth — it’s because younger people are increasingly attracted to emotional availability over earning potential, and that shift is rewriting the entire power structure of modern dating

I’m 66 and the person who shaped me most wasn’t my father or my mother, it was a history teacher named Mr. Collins who looked at me in 1976 and said “you’re capable of more than this”—and those six words rerouted my entire life because nobody at home had ever suggested that the direction I was heading wasn’t the only direction available, and I’ve built a career, a family, and a sense of self on a sentence spoken by a man I haven’t seen in 40 years
