SOLUTION
A social forum is where people engage based on topics in common. Strings compliments mainstream social media platforms by organizing content & discussions by topic.
Be yourself, actually
Create, share and discuss without the pressures of popular culture. Spend time on content that’s meaningful to you.
Meaningful Connections
Make connections based on common interests, not just clout. Find your people.
Be heard
We believe shared context leads to more meaningful conversations. Reach people that are actively engage in specific interests.
Topic Based
Control your feed, don’t let it control you. Every string has its own culture, find your place.
Decentralized Tagging
Strings related by topic are clustered together making it easy for people to find strings they are interested in. Every string has a custom & unique tag that people can use to simultaneously post content to multiple locations.
Masks are our alter egos
Signing up as yourself maintains platform trust. Protect your privacy by wearing customized masks. Quickly switch between your real self and your masks at any time
So what?
Social networks connect us to each other. They are similar in function and form, but we use them for different reasons, ex: keeping in touch with friends, looking for work, or for love. These small differences cause us to create
varying identities and attitudes.
Forums are places where people interact based on a shared interest. You could find one for any topic, e.g., sports, fashionable shoes, or your favorite TV show. People there anonymously interact through discussion threads.
Strings is a social forum where you share, discuss, and connect with others based on topics in common. You’ll learn what your friends actually care about, and meet new people with similar interests. Connections are more meaningful.
More than facts you can look up on a search engine, perspectives of real people make Strings more human.
By giving every user a voice and an audience, anyone can shape public opinion. And as these connected strings grow, communities will become empathic and empowered.
