Facebook, Twitter, Flipboard, Feedly, News Rep, Reddit… Every day we check all these apps and many more to keep up with everything that is happening around us. Information has never flowed so much and so fast as it does now. It comes to us in torrents and filtering it is almost impossible. That is partly what the creators of “This.” the first social network that swims in scarcity, thought.
The idea of this App is to offer special contents, different and that stand out above the rest. With this, we want to offer a platform that escapes from the massive, from the saturation information to which we are subjected at all times and focuses on few but quality contents. To achieve this exclusivity there is nothing like restricting the access of its members, so entry into this network is strictly subject to invitation.
“This.” is, as they say, a place “where you can find and share the best entertainment, art and journalism on the web. A place to follow people you trust, thank them for their links and share what you like.” A place where each user can only share one link per day“.
Access restrictions but also content restrictions, obviously. To do this, the “This.” team carries out exhaustive controls in which memes and other similar links are completely excluded. This is how they want to make a difference with other social networks such as Facebook or Twitter where “it is increasingly difficult to find quality links", says the main promoter of this network, Andrew Golis which has the financial support of the company Atlantic Media. Golis decided to become the skinny cow of online content for the simple reason that I was fed up with the way social networks managed the content that interests me.”
Whether I get it or not”This."It is the umpteenth attempt to overthrow the biggest; perhaps yes, perhaps it is with specialization that the right path has been found. Time will tell, but for the moment there are already those who dare to predict that this could be a serious one alternative to FacebookWhile it is confirmed, it would not be bad to see what has become of “it“.
