![]() Or Chime.in will sell the ads and split the revenue with publishers. If they want to sell the advertising themselves, they can keep 100% of the revenue. With Chime.in, publishers can create their own profile pages and post ads on the pages. Particularly for publishers, they do not get revenue on a site like Twitter or Facebook, unless they drive users back to their own website. The other problem with social networks is monetization. Also you can follow people, but choose to only get their Chimes on a particular topic (say only updates from Bob on "semiconductors," but not "dogs"). With Chime, you can follow particular interests or communities, which are like online groups or forums. There are also people you’re interested in following for their messages on one topic, say technology, but not another topic, such as what they ate for breakfast. First, the problem of relevance that is, following people and getting random Tweets about things you’re not interested in. This interest network we made addresses a different set of questions.”Ĭhime addresses two problems with Twitter and other social networks, Gross says. (But) the interest network is a thing no one has done well. Twitter is an unbelievable information network and great for real-time events. “(Chime.in) is trying to do something different. “With (Echofon and UberSocial) we’re living within the limitations of what we can do in Twitter and taking advantage of what we can do on Twitter,” Gross says. He also says Twitter was designed for SMS messaging, whereas Chime with its photo and other capabilities was designed for smartphones from the start. Gross says those apps will continue focusing just on Twitter, while Chime.in will operate separately and not, for example, pull in Tweets. So isn't this a competitor to Twitter? Uber already has Echofon and UberSocial, two popular Twitter clients which reach a combined 6 million users. The Chime timeline includes the ability to sort and see the Chimes with the most comments as well as the latest messages. Chime also has inline threaded conversations like Google Plus, which Twitter doesn’t have, so that people can see all the conversation around a particular item. ![]() The idea is that these interest groups will enable people to cut through the noise and find content that interests them. ![]() ![]() Users can follow people as well as interests and communities around specific topic interests. Chime has topic pages-which can be created by anyone-so that people can quickly find content on topics they’re interested in. People writing a Chime can also tag it with an interest such as “photography” so that can be easily found on other topic pages. Chime.in is hosting all of this multimedia content so that users don't have to click off to another site to view the content. Instead Gross calls Chime an “interest network.”Ĭhime.in is a web and mobile app service for people to post short messages called “Chimes.” They look similar to Tweets except that they include images, videos, polls, or other content, directly within the message. The Chime service, however, is not designed to be a social network to compete directly with Twitter, says UberMedia CEO Bill Gross. Now UberMedia is launching its own micro-messaging platform called Chime.in, with essentially all the features that Twitter would not let it build on its platform. ![]()
