Social video site for the daring, Bragster.com, has been acquired by the Guinness Book of World Records, upping the ante for Bragster participants.
Bragster’s concept revolves around people issuing dares that can be captured on video – for example, a dare to jump over something impossible large – and users then accepting the challenges and videoing themselves fulfilling them. Videos are rated in a contest and the winners are placed on a leaderboard.
Guinness too has been accepting user uploads for their attempts at setting records on their web site. Bragster simply expands the attempts at reaching a wider audience – especially those willing to risk their reputation on a dare which, let’s face it, creates the kind of entertainment we all love.
Bragster has been operating since 2006. It’s expected that Bragster and Guinness will merge sites at some point, but current plans are to leave both as separate entities. [via Mashable]
