What is Hive? Hive Social is a new social media app that exploded overnight – More info

Hive Social aims to be a BS-free social networking platform. In terms of design and experience, it’s similar to Instagram. It has a grid and a “feed” where you can follow other users and also follow content based on your interests, such as beauty, fashion, games, etc. You can also choose songs for your profile (the first is free, the rest costs $ 0.99 per pop). And if you downloaded Hive and are having trouble using it, you are not alone. Apparently, due to all the new users, their servers went down.

That’s right: according to Hive’s Twitter account, they gained more than 130,000 followers overnight. At the moment, it is not clear what caused this increase in the number of users.

According Lifestyle, Hive was created and is run by a woman named Kassandra (@honeyxmua on Twitter) “HIVE is truly a place where everyone is welcome, so we want to attract everyone from all communities – the common person to bloggers for travel, food, beauty, cars, etc., to small businesses and big brands. Whatever your interests – if they fit into our Community Guidelines, designed to keep HIVE safe and respectful – you will have a space with us, ”Kassandra shared.

She elaborated more on the application, saying: “HIVE is oriented [around] the user experience through a chronological feed that maximizes engagement with content … the ability to select multiple songs for a more personalized profile that will be played when users visit your page, like, comment and republish the content. “

According to a feature on Hive on Your paper route, Hive seems to be trying to democratize the social media experience, making it possible for anyone to profit from their account, and they will have a lot more freedom to do so. “With the Hive app, you can literally monetize your account the moment you sign up. This is the biggest news in the world of affiliate and influencer marketing right now.” You are allowed to post links in your caption and comment on URLs you want to promote.

That’s why, supposedly, many influencers are really interested in Hive (we haven’t found any influencers using the app yet, but we will update this article as soon as we do). On Instagram, you need to have at least 10,000 followers to slide up your Instagram story, and the only way to promote a link is to put it in your bio. Hive seems to solve this problem.

Currently, it appears that Hive is a team of a woman (or at least a very small team). According to Hive’s Twitter feed, the CEO (Kassandra) manages the account.

According to Kassandra herself, she is planning to add live streaming as a resource soon. And Android users, you will soon be able to download the application (at the moment, it is only available for Apple users).

Is this a new Instagram that will change the social media game? Stay tuned.
