Social media has become such an integral part of our lives. It has introduced to us its own language with terms such as “tweet” and the well-known Facebook “like” and has become a part of not only the way we talk, but also the way we interact.
Let’s take a look at some of the newer social networks that were recently introduced.
First, let’s look at Pheed – launched in October 2012. It’s a pay-as-you-go network where you actually sell your photos, videos and “statuses” instead of just sharing them, which is the main logic behind this network. Many celebrities, musicians and entertainment personalities make use of this network. For a monthly subscription, “pheeders” can offer subscribers access to a media-rich stream of text, photo, audio, video and even live broadcasts. Celebrities such as Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton are already making use of this new network.
Thumb is a social network making use of personal crowdsourcing. Not sure if your blouse matches your skirt? No problem – take a selfie, upload to Thumb and crowdsource your decision. Simple questions generate hundreds of thumbs up or thumbs down, plus comments from the network’s active user base within mere minutes. Thumb appeals to the two main social impulses – vanity and voyeurism, which generates serious engagement amongst users. When compared to Facebook, it is said that users spend most time on Facebook per month with Thumb following as second with four hours a month.
