First Impressions of the Newest Social Site: Pheed

I just set up my pheed. My initial first impression is I really like it. Great vibe. Check out my Pheed.

 

The most buzzed-about startup in Silicon Valley launched this morning and I’ve been switching between work and my Pheed all day. All the while, I’ve wondered what element set these guys apart from their intimidating list of competitors: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (to name a few). From the moment I googled the site to now, their slogan has answered that question: express yourself.

The social design on Pheed encourages users to create original content. Users can easily upload video, audio, words, pictures, or even a live stream onto their Pheed. One of the first aspects of the site I noticed was the little “copyright this pheed” button at the bottom of each post I made. The mere presence of this button serves as a little, constant reminder that you should be posting your own content. The idea of original content on social sites has always been confusing, and Pheed has taken a massive step in offering peace of mind to their users (without making them dig through a mountain of privacy policy pages).
