Facebook was in it prime when most of us were in middle school or highscool, and many of us left MySpace for the newer fad that was Facebook at the time. When talking to younger people I realize how “old” Facebook is becoming much like what MySpace was at our time. They seem to choose Instagram as their social network of choice, which makes sense because if you go to Instagram’s Popular page you’ll see teenage related pictures such as Spongebob “memes” or One Direction pictures. While checking Twitter I saw that many people and some celebrities were posting things on a new social network site called Pheed. Curious to learn more, I googled it and found this article about it. Pheed provides users with a platform for sharing all forms content which includes text, pictures, audio,voice notes, video, and live broadcast. Users can subscribe to other users’ channels and view their subscribed channels’ almost like what you would do in Youtube. Also, they can “love” or “heartache” specific pheeds, hashtag, pheedback as well as share content from other channels to their own via a feature called “remix” similar to a retweet. The app became #1 on the app store and it seems like it’s caught the attention of the demographic that Facebook is losing. It easy to see why people are so attracted to this new site, it has an edgier modern contemporary look and in a way it’s like all top social netwroking sites combined into one. So if you’re sick of the same old Facebook, consider giving Pheed a try.

Do you think this site has potential to have the same popularity as the top dogs of social networking? (ie. Facebook, Twitter)
