By the way, just stumbled about a German article in which a social network called “fancy” got mentioned. It seems it is a French social marketplace platform. Does someone has experience with it? Is it good? I would like to know if there is demand for something like Soma.

Nice find. They are focusing on fancy stuff you do not need.

Soma is not so clear about what kind of goods they like to see on their platform. Or who their target audience is.

Examples we have seen so far in Soma's documents:

- a model airplane
- second hand clothing
- second hand books
- a chair
- vintage white bicycle in good condition
- prefect summer dress
- Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Releases for 2016
- a used guitar from a musician with a lot of followers
- oil
- raw materials and commodities
- a carpet made as a handcraft in a certain country
- vintage, art and valuable goods

Every platform will be replaced at one point, even facebook at some point in future. The question is when and with what kind of platform/why there is need to. Instagram will also be replaced at one point in future, that’s a normal process.

You are right about this.

Even if soma had great success and become mainstream it will be replaced either.

They will only be replaced if something is 10x better. Anything that is 2x better wont conquer the market. Its a general rule in buseniss:

Yes, better way lock bounty tokens for one month or so. Investors must receive tokens first of course.

Totally agree, but one month would be not enough, though.

agree. or unlocked bounty token in multiple times .

Not fair for bounty hunter to lock their tokens in my opinion.

I agree with you, sure bounty hunters have weak hands but they spent their time to promote a project, isn't much fair to lock their tokens

Exactly, ICOs promote their project for nothing since they give something they create from nothing. You can't have everything.

I think what they are trying to do is to create something completely new market 2.0, so i dont think we need to worry about it being similar to what we are used now.

Yes I think so too. I think this is the missing factor of the existing Social Media platforms right now. yes they have advertising and all, but they don't have the integration of a proper marketplace for sellers and buyers. I think this is like Facebook meets Shopify or Etsy. If this becomes successful, I think this could be the potential Facebook killer.

Calm down my friend, soma is definitely not the Facebook killer. Soma even don't want to compete with Facebook

even if they dont want to, they are on a good way on the chinese region to become a facebook killer?

There are other companies, like vk.com, steemit ... it will not be easy to be a facebookkiller. :-)

Well, on the other thought, they don't have to be a facebook killer. They can be their own. Like LinkedIn captured the niche of the Professional Social Networking, so does SOMA to capture the Social Market Networking. They can actually work side by side with Facebook and other social media.

Which relation they have to Facebook? Its different SN. They looks like to Pinterest.

I had a look on fancy: https://fancy.com/ It looks pretty interesting. If this is how SOMA will look like, it is really promising. You can read the background of seller and like products

I havent heard it before, but its not bad

Hopefully soma will have better design and interface, also cover more social media like instagram (fancy doesnt cover instagram)

I dont think instagram will have a future. The facebook is allot better with its AI and algorithms. Lets see what SOMA will offer.

I dunno man, facebook's users have steadily decreased their content output in the last years. sometimes people just get sick of one service and start using another.

Hmm, so this looks like a pin interest + market + crypto. I like the platform layout designs shown on the website. Has anyone done a little peek-a-boo of this platform in development? I suppose it is in Alpha testing right now.

Yes they released only the Alpha version for iOS, however community manager said that they're working on the closed beta and on Android app and on Webapp

If you want to be successful as a new social platform, you really have to make a difference. I think using incentives is a good way to attract new users. I wonder how SOMAs marketing strategy on this will be.

their marketing strategy so far has been lacking, which is one of the reasons the ICO is not going too great. they really need to step up.

If they manage to be unique on the market and stay that way, that would mean a certain success on the long run. But there are so many project and platforms out there that you are bound to get a competitor sooner or later.

Indeed the market is huge but there're also a lot of competition. It must be innovative and easy to use to succeed

As long as SOMA delivers a working platform as per their roadmap, success will be inevitable.

A working platform will not be enough. Today there are so many competitors, you have to be very creative for a longterm success.

The more it covers the more it will be.
And instagram is very popular in my country, it has more active users than facebook (in my country) and often used to promote something.

I am personally using less social media because I really do not like ads and on Insta and Facebook I just keep seeing more and more ads. So I hope SOMA can be an ad free platform, that would be a huge plus.

You're right so much ads are starting to make me feel uncomfortable. I guess they give huge profits for the companies so let's see what SOMA does with this.

I just got an advert of Soma via my tinder Cheesy

. I wonder if it would have been a match if i had super liked liked it... oh the fun times we would have with that foxy thing.
