APP REVIEW FRIDAY : WHISPER

Hello Gamers and Gamets today we are talking about a app that in my humble opinion is a little different than most.


WHISPER


Yes Gamers i know i dont usually use these types of things but im feeling that i should tell you about this app because i have been using this app for probably a few months now so i can really tell you about this decent app.

Lets start with what it is.

Whisper is a proprietary iOS and Android mobile app available without charge. It is a form of anonymous social media, allowing users to post and share photo and video messages anonymously, although this claim has been challenged with privacy concerns over Whisper's handling of user data. The postings, called "whispers", consist of text superimposed over an image, and the background imagery is either automatically retrieved from Whisper's own search engine or uploaded by the user.

The app, launched in March 2012, is the main product of the media company WhisperText LLC, which was co-founded by CEO Michael Heyward, the son of the entertainment executive Andy Heyward, and Brad Brooks, who is the CEO of mobile messaging service TigerText. Since 2015, the service has sought to become more of a brand advertising platform, with promotional partnerships with Netflix,NBCUniversal, Disney, HBO, and MTV. According to TechCrunch, as of March 2017, Whisper has a total of 17 billion monthly pageviews on its mobile and desktop websites, social channels and publisher network, with 250 million monthly users across 187 countries

My Opinion

When i first found this app i was suprised and interested in what for me was such a novel idea that its completely anonomous where people met and talk without the predisposition of expecting stuff from other people and racial problems that effect almost all of the types of social media. Yes it has some bad things but i understand them like the 250/300 character post but most people dont use anyway. What i think that makes this app great is that everyone can see your post not just your friends or followers which opens up a whole new world of possibilities i see adds for love for work for meet ups it makes me smile that this exists.

I hoped you enjoyed todays post and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
