This blog entry is a comparative review of MeWe vs. pluspora.
Apparently, both social network services have their pros and cons, and currently, neither is a complete substitute for Google+.
In a nutshell, according to the review:
* MeWe essentially is more polished, but superficially has the look and feel of Facebook, and its population includes many right-wing conservatives and libertarians who might have been booted off either Twitter or Facebook. Also, there are no public posts--all posts must go to specific followers or groups.
* Pluspora feels like Google+, but is less polished, feels like a 2/3 production release, and doesn't allow either editing of posts/comments or likes on comments. However, it supports cross-posting to both Twitter and WordPress. Hashtags are critical for posts to be found, but cannot be added to posts after the posts have been written because completed posts cannot be edited.

Interesting to know; have to see whether these sites change much in the next few months...
ReplyDeleteInteresting share Benjamin Russell. The owner of Mewe has posted somewhere here that they have big plans and are currently working to make the site better than G+ (can you believe that??!!) so it is worth watching that space.
ReplyDeleteAs for right-wing libertarians, I remember Myspace was stuffed full of them. One thing that people love most about G+ is that you meet many more intelligent folks who water down the rightwing nuts. So the rightwing nuts have to go somewhere where they feel wanted and they attract each other like iron dust to a magnet. Trump is birthing more of them by the second.
I am standing still and sniffing the wind for a while, rather than rushing everywhere frantically, as there is time to read lots of informative blogs like this one.
White space is good. It makes things less confusing.
