With Whom Do You Want to Connect?
If you like the last few options, our competition has you covered. Otherwise, read on!
Which Posts Do You Want to See?
If a certain legacy social site is making you feel lonely, it could be the evil robots. We're too cheap and lazy to create evil robots here. You have to choose what you see yourself.Who Should See Your Posts?
Choice. What a concept!
How Would You Like Your Information Served?
If you chose Option 1, you are the type of person whose idea of a good party is a beer keg at a baby shower or a beauty contest at a company picnic.
If you chose Option 2, you are the type of person who can appreciate Conntects, which means “Connect in Context.” At Conntects we do away with the infinite scrolling feed entirely. Instead, you get a dashboard showing which of your contacts have new posts, and you can arrange the order of your contacts by how you met them.
Infinite scrolling feeds are addictive.
Context shifts tire the brain.
How Would You Like to Pay?
What is your time worth?
What is your brain worth?
What is your privacy worth?
While Conntects will be a fee-for-service social media site once we get past the alpha test stage, it will be dirt cheap compared to Facebook—for those who value their time and brainpower.
And there's more!
Bonus 1: Post in Style
If you just want to post quips, links, and pictures, we can do that. But we can also support long posts with fancy formatting when the inspiration hits:
- Italics
- Bold
- Highlighted Text
- Tables
- Computer source code
- Poetry
- Tables
- Pictures within your text where you want them
- And even equations...
Bonus 2: A Better Commenting System
Threaded commenting systems lead to indentations which run off the page. And keeping up with a conversation requires scanning comments you have already read, and going clickety clickety clickety until carpal tunnel syndrome kicks in.
Conntects features time ordered comments with hyperlinks and hover popups to show the replies.
And comments can have the same powerful formatting features as posts. You can have deep conversations on Conntects.
Bonus 3: A High Trust Blogosphere
Remember the days of high trust blogging?
- When blogs had blogrolls?
- When comments were relevant and spammers were few?
- When Technorati tags linked posts on the same subject together?
Conntects features blogs as well as personal feeds. The tag space is fresh and not polluted with spam. The commenters [will be] paying members and you will be able to ban those who are naughty.
Conntects blogs can be public, private, or even secret. And you don't need to deal with plugins and whatnot.
Bonus 4: Host a Forum or Few
Conntects groups are powerful, thanks to our formatting and commenting features. Do you have a social club, church group, local political party, hobby network, alumni gathering, family reunion, or other social gathering you would like to host online? Conntects can help.
