What if Twitter, Snap Chat, and Mobile games had a baby? Well, you would get BroadCast! The first social media app lets you live in the present and not the past. There is no more digital hoarding of images and messages, just pure peer-to-peer communication like it used to be. Broadcast is a social media app where you send broadcast messages with videos, images, voice & gifs attached that only last 5 minutes. Users commenting or liking a broadcast will see those comments and likes deleted after each broadcast has expired. Also, time will act as a form of currency; used to extend access to broadcasts before they expire. It gives users more time to view each broadcast. All broadcasts are created in real-time and will expire in real-time. The countdown timer starts when the Broadcasters send out the broadcast, not when the users see it. (Example: If a Broadcaster sends out a broadcast at 9 pm, their broadcast will expire at 9:05 pm. If a user logs in at 9:03 pm, they will see that the broadcast will expire in 2 minutes.) each broadcast will have a countdown timer to show users when each broadcast is about to expire. Use social in a unique way, and message with confidence.
