A new social network, ethical, transparent, sustainable, in which user data will always remain within the application, that does not use AI algorithms to filter what is shown, that does not reside in tax havens and that puts people in the center. Launchyoo promotes authentic socialization among real people. It brings complete innovation and so many new features to social networks, with new and never seen aspects. Here are some examples: - The content the user will see depends on their tastes based on key words (“personal tags”). There are no AI algorithms. - Users can meet forming groups that are easy to operate. They can be public, private or secret. This can range from a football group to a massive event. - There are four types of profiles available: Super, Influencer, Business and Association, each with its own features, all coexisting on the platform. - You can give ‘temperature’ to your contacts to decide how often you will see things from them. - Launchyoo divides the posts on separated walls, including photos, videos, short messages (MiniMes), audio and podcasts, news and blogs. There will also be a Mix wall to display a mixture of all of them. As a result, you can see the type of information that is of most interest to you, whenever you want. - We are developing “active socialization” to promote real people meeting real people. - We have overcome the typical Like/Love interaction. Now you can also indicate Yes/No and vote with Stars on posts. Launchyoo is a new generation social network, fun, easy to use, complete, transparent and ethical. The first great social network of the new decade ready to meet the interests of our times. And we will continue to introduce new features.
