A team of one hundred people had been secretly working for
years at their Lutz house to launch what they are calling a “Social Media
Revolution”. The thing is, we don’t know what it is because they won’t tell us
about it. It is called “Unthink” which is just about ready to launch.
For more than three years out of their Lutz home a group of
around 100 people worldwide have secretly worked on what they are calling a
“Social Media Revolution”. Asking the co-founder of the website, Spiro Verras,
replies “I think like Steve Jobs when people asked about his next iPhone, how
it’s going to look like, I am dying to share more”. They just won’t let anybody
to step inside the house and won’t be revealing about the specifics about what
they are doing.
Only that is called “Unthink” and it will launch in a few
weeks. It is being said that it will be very important as it’s going to change
people’s lives. What will it look like? What will it do? They can only tell us
what it won’t be.
It is not going to be a Facebook clone or like a Google+,
not even something trying to be the next Facebook. It’s a fundamental
Unthinking of what it is to be Social Media. Co-founder Spiro Verras says
Unthink partly modeled itself on “Facebook Problems” like privacy concerns,
change in terms of recent redesigns, lack of ownership and control – Unthink’s
promotional video says all these things.
UK Investor DouglasBay invested millions into the site. Unthink
says it will not generate profits of user advertisements. On your Unthink you
will not be having advertisements as there are many ways to make money – says
the co-founder. “We do not want to make money and have our users hurt in some
way even if they don’t know about it” – says Spiro.
Unthink assures us all of our questions will be answered
when the site launches. And this is Unthink’s website –
You can type in your email address where you will be sent an
invitation code. The Tampa Company is also supported by a team in India and
they are all preparing for this launch. The company being funded by the
DouglasBay Capital launches itself as more open and more honest form of a
Social Networking. Here the users will find themselves as the owner of their data
and not for the Advertisers to sell their products.
Taking down Facebook is the core marketing campaign of Unthink. It’s not just another Social Network, it’s a “Social Revolution.”

sounds like they will rock.. let's see what's happening..
ReplyDeleteIt sounds not so good when the target of new site is to take somebody down.
ReplyDeleteSorry to say that the new site is not to let Facebook down but to work on something for the user and only for the user..:)
DeleteDidn't they launch with a bang (and those videos) last year and then go away shortly after that? Are they re-launching and just pretending the first go-round wasn't short of a smashing success?
ReplyDeleteYou are right, may be they are trying to do something more different as they have already tagged themselves as a Giant's upcoming competitor.
