What is Helium?

Reading, writing and rating . . . and even more - reward.

Read

Helium is different. We're on a quest to build the best user-created reference resource there is.

Finding insight on the web can be a bit like the popular rock song phrase, "I still haven't found what I am looking for . . ." Lots of links, not much insight. Researching topics such as how to choose between options, what features to look for in a product, or how to accomplish a task based on experience are best-answered by real people, not machines.

Helium is the place to read-up on real-world experiences. Even better, Helium offers more than one point of view, to help decision-making.

Don't worry, you won't be weeding through "Sarah said this" and "Jon said that." We make it easy for you to find the best stuff first. We've invented a neat way to rank articles that lets the best rise to the top. Browse Channels or Search by entering a topic.

Write

Helium is a community where YOU contribute. A fun, addictive place for people who are passionate about a topic to write and be heard. Ever read an article and thought, "Oh, he forgot to mention . . ." or "Geez, I could have written that better"?

If you are a blogger in search of an audience, toil in obscurity no more. This is your chance to share your knowledge with millions. Make your mark, Join now.

Rate

Helium uses the power of people (that is, you) to drive the best stuff to the top. But this is no popularity contest. We use peer-review, a process where Helium writers compare one article to another to decide which is best. After many comparisons by many people, our ranking engine knows which article should be on the top.

Here's your opportunity to act as armchair critic, because writers are invited to peer-review the work of others. People tell us Helium rating is habit-forming. Join now.

Reward

This is the best part. Sure, Helium is an outlet for the writer in all of us, but it is also a place where you can earn not only the adoration of your peers, but money, too! We want you to be part of the success here. Helium shares a portion of revenue with you. Every article you write is an asset which can earn you revenue---into perpetuity. The better you write, the higher you rank, the more your reward. Join now.
