So came across this tottaly new and fresh idea. www.pheed.com!!
Your gonna wanna check this out! So its self-made and self-startup and they work out of a rented mansion on Mulholland Drive. I think its safe to say that Myspace crashed and burnt after the launch of Facebook. Twitter and Instagram have been some of the only social networking platforms that generally works. Goggle+ still struggles to get follwers like Myspace, so does Pheed think they can take on Facebook and Twitter? Considering they think they are more than just a platform, I hope they can!
'The Pheed House is located on top of Mulholland Drive in Beverly Hills, CA. We host events & have phriends and phamily on special occasions. Pheed is more than a platform it's a lifestyle.'
After launching a couple of days ago they already have 350,000 unique visitors, of which consisted of A List Celebs, including: Ashley Tisdale, David Guetta, Paris Hilton, and Chris Brown. Plus its got a Iphone App waiting for approval (fingers crossed).
So basically you allow influencers to charge for their content so that high quality content can be produced. The makers of Pheed see a lot of gaps and problems with today's social media platforms. Stating that their is too much noise so quality content is lost. It has a twitter feel to it, but it feels like a much more origial and quirky platform to be able to express you self in a more creative manner.
Pheed allows you to share all kinds of digital content, text, photo, audio, video and live broadcasts. 'Pheeders' then have the option to share for free or at a premium, either by applying a monthly subscription fee to their channel or setting up a pay-per-view live broadcast event. You can charge from $1.99 to $34.99 per view or the same per month. So you get to put a price on you thoughts and ideas and you get to own it - unlike Facebook, where you never seem to know when its going to fuck up next!!
Pheed makes money by taking half the revenue, which covers bandwidth, storage, payment processing and its profits.
So the important question you have to ask yourself is, Would you pay to read Slash's content? Would you expect someone else to pay to see your thoughts and ideas? Would you pay to read my content?
I've already made my account, I wouldn't consider charging for a while though, I've found so much quirky and cool content on their already and considering this is only the beginning you should get yourself an account and see what you can discover and be a part of!!!
Plus I love the term Pheed, and Pheeder. As well as Pham!
