Are we tired of the new social media channels yet? Yes? Great, now there is a solution for the messed up social media landscape, where you take photos via Instagram, upload videos to YouTube and write blogs on Tumblr. Pheed was recently launched. With a business model that could also be the savior of the music and newspaper industries.
Not with an annoying invite-only, as Pinterest has maintained for months, but with a direct possibility to create a profile. But first, a step back.
What is Pheed?
A long time ago… in August 2012, Pheed was launched. The founders of Pheed thailand telegram describe their concept as a combination of the strong elements of existing social networks, removing the ones they see as weak, and adding the missing elements. Example? Photos are shown in a Pinterest jacket, you can record and play audio à la Soundcloud , trending topics are shown Twitter-style, and you can do a live stream, similar to Google+ Hangouts . All in the form of a status update.
