Dear Bitcointalk users,
I have just graduated from university and as a side-project I have begun coding a social networking site, similar to Twitter in it's functionality. Although I have been in web development for many years I would still class myself as an amateur PHP/JQuery coder, so I am taking everything as it comes. After a-lot of brainstorming and a competition run over in the services section, I decided on the name "Dwable" pronounced "Dw-Able" - URL:
Dwable.com (currently just a landing page).
Populating and making a success of a new social networking site can be a tricky task. However I feel up for the challenge. You may be asking what the unique selling point will be in comparison to platforms like Twitter. The main differences at the moment would be as follows:
- Censorship free
- Greater focus on what the users want
- Added features (more on this later)
- Greater leniency on terms (e.g. selling of accounts etc)
- Integration of cryptocurrency (still being decided in what format)
There is some thought in my mind to monetise content and usage in a mutually beneficial way. Similar strategies implemented by Steem and GetGemz. Currently a-lot of different cryptocurrency options and
currencies are being thought about.
This post is just to serve as an official pre-announcement and to hopefully gather any interested parties.
Thank you for reading,
Ben.
