Recent events regarding Facebook, Twitter, Youtube et consortes proves that the current state of social media is not well. But at the same time these happenings provide a fuel for alternative social media platforms to grow, as more and more people lose their trust with the more centralized platforms mentioned above. This is a huge opportunity for HIVE to thrive and attract many users fleeing from Facebook.
But how to do it?
One of the most visible trends within the last few months are the growin use of so called Frames, which anyone can use to modify their Facebook Profile Photo and add a simple label. People use it for all sorts of different things: to support politicians, organizations, movements, promote events or simply give voice to their opinions on different topics.
I thought: why not use it to let people know that there is an alternative for Facebook—and it's called HIVE?
