The internet has, without a doubt, the most significant technology in human existence. Humans have played a vital role in getting involved with technological advancement. At some point, we couldn't keep up with the latest technology.
The social media is one area that has gotten the attention of different users, of different age grade, different colors, and tribe. The social media has significantly united humans from a different religious background and skin color.
What Is Foresting?
Foresting is the next generation of social media platform built on blockchain technology. Foresting takes a paradigm shift in the traditional social media platforms to a new and exciting haven. Their goal is to create a fair value distribution ecosystem, it rewards all participants who play an active role in improving and adding value to their platform.
Users can perform activities such as they would ordinarily do on the traditional social media platform such as Facebook, Twitter among others, and they would be rewarded for their active participation. They are rewarded when they post, like, share, comment etc on content within the platform.
Why Is Social Media So Powerful?
In the 17th and 18th century the newspaper have served as a medium to communicate between different entities ranging from government, education, businesses among many others. They serve as a one-way medium to relay information to the targeted audience.
But, as technological advances it continues to erupt, people continue to become self-aware of the latest happening within their environment and the world at large.
The social media has now become so powerful as it has the ability to reach a large audience. It has become a home for businesses, politics and other related social trends. and as such it has the power to connect to a great number of audience and influence them.
For Example, The recent happening in Egypt Government, they were able to organize and eject their leader in a matter of days and the social media played a significant part to that purpose.
The Problem So Far . . .
The social media stands at the pivot of many businesses and organizations, even individuals, and virtually all modern business have two or more social media account to promote their business or services, and these social media platforms generate millions and billions of dollars yearly, and the profits are taken away from the users who played the major role in the contribution of such success, and the profits is being given to the shareholders and owners. This is not a fair way to reward participants for their loyal support for the platform.
let's take a close figure on how much these social media platforms truly generate on a yearly basis.
As at writing this Facebook market cap is currently sitting at about 447 billion dollars. Just in 2017 Facebook received a total of about 711 billion dollars in payments and other fees revenue, while they received about 39.9 billion dollars for just advertising alone.
Twitter on the other side generated about 2.1 billion dollars in 2017
These social media platforms generate a lot of revenues and they use this generated fund to distribute to their shareholder "which is not fair".

This article is not a financial advice. Investing in ICO may be extremely risky, always remember to do your own research and consult financial and legal advisors before investing in ICOs.
I just skimmed thru the whitepaper. The issue i have with it is that there is much sales fluff.
I dont understand the economics and technical architecture, after reading the whitepaper. similar to the post above, i dont need to be educated on the potential of social media.
I need to understand how you solution to social media is architected from a business and technical perspective.

I really like the concept this social networking platform has come up with. I myself feel that in near future, people would move away from traditional social networking platforms and switch to portals like foresting and steemit because of the additional advantage they offer.
Thanks for sharing this with the community.

That´s a great initiative. I hope a big sucess to this project.
I think Steemit should have a marketplace for advertising too, and change the RC system so new users can be more active in the platform. The creation of more platforms will add pressure to Steemit Inc. for solving these isssues.
