The Benefits Of Zones

Channel Your Passions

At Helium, your interests are what make this site a success. Up until now members have only had the option to write about their favorite topics. Now, with Zones, you can take this passion to a whole new level, and you don't even need to write articles!

Love a certain literary genre? Create a Zone with reviews of your favorite novels, featuring book-cover images and author interviews, both in print and on video. A big fan of a particular film? Craft a Zone with movie stills, soundtrack samples and articles about the director, cast and script writers.

Passionate about something? Anything? Build a Zone and let the world know. You might be surprised at the number of people who stop by and leave comments. A Group might even be created around it.

From dogs to dogma, Silverstein to Shakespeare, philanthropy to Dr. Phil, Zones can be about any topic you choose. Be as specific or as general as you wish.

Zones are driven by you, our users. The best part? They are extremely user friendly.

Experience Network Effects

Helium offers you synergy through network effects: As more users join, the site becomes more useful to all members, which, in turn, makes it more attractive to new users.... Harness this power with Zones!

Build a Zone and you create a new focal point of information. Members who share your interest or passion will be drawn to it and may form a Group - a place where you can discuss your favorite topic and bounce ideas off each other.
