Meet Pheed, the social network app that topped Facebook and Twitter

If you have not heard of this new social network, then you may thank us for bringing it to your attention. Pheed is the new kid on the social networking block. But first, the more important news -according to Online reports, this new Internet startup’s app reached the No:1 popularity mark in Apple Store on February 19, 2013, beating rivals like Facebook & Twitter.

In fact, since its launch on the Apple Store, demand for the app has been growing. Pheed is a social networking site, available as an app only for iOS devices but will soon be there on Android, too.

The Pheed website was launched in October 2012 in Los Angeles, USA by a group of Internet entrepreneurs, while the App was launched the following month. Cofounder of Pheed O.D. Kobo, a well-known Internet entrepreneur who hails from Hong Kong, is the de-facto spokesperson of this new smartphone app. He runs the Koolanoo Group based in China.

The catchphrase for Pheed is -Express Yourself. Whether you want to share by way of text, photos, videos, audio, voice or live broadcast, Pheed offers all of that…& then some more.

So what makes this app popular? Besides the fact that there is so much one can do with it is the added attraction of earning while socialising. There are reports that seem to suggest that  teenagers & famous personalities are fueling Pheed’s growth. Some teen followers spoke of Pheed on Twitter & Instagram, an indication of its growing popularity.

Pheed is a free app. Justifying its tagline, the app is stuffed with multiple sharing options: users can share text messages, audio files, video, voice message & even broadcast live events using this new smartphone application.

Pheed even allows members to bridge social networks. This simply means that you can share your updates to other networking sites like Facebook, Twitter & Tumbler.

The other features are:

Paywall Setting: This is a feature that could beat the c*^% out of the competition. Users can monetize their posts or their live events, by installing a Paywall. Members can set any price they want for others to view their posts or live events. Charges can be on a ‘per view’ or ‘per month’ basis, & can range between US$1.99 & US $ 34.99 USD for one post or one month. Of course, Pheed will take 50% of the revenue thus generated.

Personalize Your Post: This option allows users to add a watermark to their posts. The watermark can be added to all Content, to make it personalized.

Channel Subscription: Users can also subscribe to the channels of other users. With a ‘Remix’ feature, they can share and view other user’s post and threads.

Pheed has got everybody excited, for sure. That’s why the well-known business magazine Fortune has listed it as 1 of the 7 social networks to watch out for in 2013.
