Facebook is becoming more and more sophisticated in creating a world, a bubble if you may with your latest interactions. Thus disconnecting me from my friends. As I only see the ones I interact with. Which means that the very purpose of staying up to date and in touch with my friends all over the world, is not possible anymore since I\u2019m served with content from my last interactions, groups and what not.<\/p>\n
I hardly enter Facebook anymore. I do have the messenger app, since instead of texting a lot of my friends use the app instead.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is how it is, evolution. Change in behaviour, evolution of platforms.<\/p>\n
Mine looks like this:<\/p>\n
mIRC, ICQ, Skunk, Lunarstorm, Helgon, Linkedin, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest. Google+,\u00a0Ble.at<\/span><\/a> (gone). Vegan wall (don’t remember my password). And I\u2019m pondering joining A Small World. Since I\u2019m addicted to travel and like to meet new people.<\/p>\n Then Vero popped up.<\/p>\n I tried it.<\/p>\n I like it.<\/p>\n There are some kinks to work out for sure. When I first got the app, it was to many server errors to my liking trying to tag a place to my post. And view hashtags. But in a very short time they worked that out. So I’m seeing less of that now.<\/p>\n The feeling I get from Facebook today is – overwhelm and totally pointlessness.<\/p>\n Am I putting my foot in my mouth as I work within digital marketing? No. There is still opportunity for brands on Facebook, since ads submissions are surpassing the actual inventory. Creating FB Messenger AI’s to serve customers etc. You can reach a lot of people if you sponsor your post, get great insight into your target audiences and so forth. Facebook is heading in another direction. It\u2019s not was it once was and it will have to evolve. I\u2019m writing this from a personal perspective.<\/p>\n For me I’d rather pay a small fee for a social service that gives me the experience that Vero supplies me. Which is exactly what Vero does. So far so good.<\/p>\n \u201cOur subscription model will allow us to keep Vero advertising-free, and to focus solely on delivering the best social experience instead of trying to find new ways to monetize our users\u2019 behavior or tricking them back into the app with notifications.\u201d<\/p>\n The feed<\/strong><\/p>\n The feed is composed of your posts and the posts of people you’re either connected with or people you follow.\u00a0We don’t curate it, manipulate it, insert advertising in it, or hold back posts. You see what has been shared with you, when it’s been shared with you.<\/p>\n You won\u2019t have to pay to \u201cboost your post\u201d, or \u201creach your audience.\u201d<\/p>\nWhy?<\/h5>\n

I\u2019ve cut a few snippets from Vero’s manifesto, that I think really hits the nail on it\u2019s famous head on why I like this platform:<\/h5>\n
