Let's Talk About ONO! Will It Be A Steemit Killer?

Steemians its time to talk about ONO.
I heard of this new social network based on the EOS blockchain by time. The first time I heard about ONO was; hmm around a month ago. I didn't give it so much attention.

Again and again, I saw posts about ONO on my feed.
Last week I read one contribution from @uwelang about that. So then​ I knew I have to take this seriously​.

Ke Xu Founder of ONO

Yesterday I read a post of @tarazkp where he shared his thoughts about that people are: let me say promoting other networks which could become competitors to Steemit. He didn't explicitly mention ONO, but than @stellabelle shared sooooo much about ONO, so I​ was sure that this network was meant, and also I couldn't ignore it anymore.

When not Steemit or Dtube there was until now only one more social network I was talking about. You know which one I mean. Appics! Right. By the way, the last ICO round starts soon.

Now ONO now join in too.

This post should not be where I give you a lot of information about that new social network. Because simply I don't know so much about it at this particular moment. I hope really to get some useful information from you guys.

I already started to read the whitepaper, but until now I didn't come so far.

I am trying not to copy the whitepaper but to explain it in my own words.

From what I saw until now its as I mention a social network based on EOS. From the design and functionality, it remembers more to a real social network compared to Steemit.

Let me clarify: Steemit is for me more a blogger site. ONO looks for me more like Facebook. An every moment usable social network.

You can post updates, pictures and your location for example. Later a video function will be added as well.

It is already launched in China. In June the international rollout is planned to be. Below I will link a Dtube video where you can see the application live.

What I found interesting is that you already have an integrated messaging system to chat with other users. Something that lets you connect with other on a deeper basis. I would appreciate seeing​ this also here on Steemit.

This indeed is also a sensational move in the hype of ICO'S
But why there is no ICO? I can't give you a clear answer. Maybe you have one. I think it has to do with her character and her vision for this social network.

That also means that finances​ will not determine the power of an account. And that it what Ke Xu(the founder) proclaim​: Equality! A daring Statement! Something many people here complain and let me say that I can understand some.

At this point,​ I don't want to say more about it, because as I mention I don't know so much.

The Big Question.

Well, I do not know to answer this question accurately​.
From my current point, I don't see ONO really as a Steemit competitor even it is not built on the same Blockchain.

ONO for me has a different alignment starting that there will be nothing like STEEMPOWER there will be no room for complaining about whales. But also this application as I also said about Appics has to prove itself. But for me, it sounds quite interesting but needs to learn more about that.

Do I see it as a Steemit killer?
Right now, no!

Again the whole space is still in its infancy​. But there Steemit has still the First Mover advantage.
We have seen it a lot of times in traditional​ companies that the First Mover advantage is never a guarantee​. And yes, it is exactly like that. It's not a guarantee​ but it's an advantage if it is played right it could happen that the lead is difficult to catch up.

As I said before both ONO and especially ​all other applications which are standing in the pipeline needs to prove themselves​ in the real world. But everything​ is possible, ​especially​ in the crypto space​.
I have high​ respect​ for the founder and the team for their vision and I'm excited to see where this will lead.

What do you know about it? How are your feelings?​ Let me know in the comment section.​​​
