TEAM AUSTRALIA: Internal Memorandum - onG.socialsteemCreated with Sketch.

in teamaustralia •  7 years ago  (edited)

Dear TEAM AUSTRALIA members and friends,

There is a new player in this social media / blockchain space. It is onG Social!

Just like Steemit, they are 'returning power to the people' by uncensoring content and giving us right wing conservatives a voice.

And just like Steemit... they pay you for your efforts (at least they claim to).

There was a sponsored news report issued today about onG Social... right here.

https://bitcoinist.com

POWER​ ​TO​ ​THE​ ​PEOPLE:​ ​ONG.SOCIAL​ ​OFFERS​ ​A​ ​BLOCKCHAIN-BASED​ ​SOLUTION TO​ ​FACEBOOK’S​ ​FAKE​ ​NEWS​ ​PROBLEM

The onG.social platform looks and feels very similar to Facebook - fast and dynamic.

They are in the process of moving to a Blockchain with an ICO currently being run - 6 days to go.

They already have mobile apps up and running.

It appears you can link your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn feeds to your onG account - earning you money as you post through advertising.

They claim to be in the process of linking up with Steem and Steemit.

I did see somewhere that there are only 3,000 user accounts at present - so you will be a very early adopter.

I have now established a closed group within onG - 'Team Australia'. If you decide to check out onG - come join the group - it will be open to all TEAM AUSTRALIA Steemit members - here we could be paid to participate in group discussions.

I noticed there is already an open Steemit Group on the platform - currently 15 members.

I don't necessarily see onG Social as being competition for Steem - infact they could complement each other quite well. As onG.social does one thing Steemit fails to do - it attracts advertiser revenue to pay users.

Finally - they do encourage Steemit users to post their Steemit posts on the site - hopefully earning us all more money for our posts.

The site - https://ong.social

End.

this could be quite cool, thanks for sharing the info :)

Sounds quite interesting. Will give it a look see later this evening.

Really great info buddy.
I didn't know anything about this. Thanks for letting us know SK

Yeah I had heard of this but I haven't had time to check it out yet!
I'm currently too busy. Wll resteem this though...

Thanks for sharing...hi friends all vote me @bachtiar0210

I've joined over there, same username as here.

Great post love it. Thanks for sharing.

Beauty! I'll see you there.

Thanks for posting this. Checking it out now.

Let me know what you think ace!

Interesting... Will likely go over and have a gander later.

Are we thinking this could be as successful as steemit's current position & is the ICO worth getting in on do you think SK?

I will give it a few more days before making up my mind on this one Olivia - doesn't look like the ICO is going well - so we might be better off waiting. Thanks for the reply. SK.

I chucked in $25 worth of ETH. Worst comes to worse, its the cost of a schnitty and a drink.

That was my initial thought too. Really brings home how new we still are in terms of social media blockchains especially, lots of fresh ground to break yet.

Went and had a look. I don't like that as soon as I join I am prompted to pay a yearly fee to have access to do 'more' on the site. Also, I understand that they are saying that users will be paid based on add revenue but my god! The amount of adds!

Great info. Thanks... will check it out.

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate ads! I do highly approve of more empowering and non-destructive technological explorations though :)

Thanks @sirknight hubby and I were only saying the other night we were surprised if Steem didnt develop something along these lines. Anyway I've signed up to take a look.. and pick up a couple few coins.. will see what happens :) Will explore their platform more over the weekend when I'm not at work :)

With the advertising.. we get a cut not the whole shebang... Probably like Youtube.. but I joined. What do you guys think of the pricing at 50 cents?

Thanks for the info. What do you think will be the result on the steem price? Surely, with these environmental forces putting competitive pressure on the quantity of expected users on steemit in the future, this will have a negative effect?

Thanks for the news, I had read about this once or twice. I might check it out eventually.

Something to add to my to do list.
