Pheed: the monetised social network aims to be a serious rival to Twitter and Facebook

Less than a month ago, Pheed was the no.1 free app in Apple’s App store under the social networking category. Pheed is the monetised social network which aims to combine aspects of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and SoundCloud.

Pheed differs from other social networking platforms as users can charge others to view their content. Users can charge to put content behind a paywall if they want (one off viewing or monthly) and split half the profit with Pheed. Prices range from $1.99 to $34.99 per view or per month. Content is always owned by users.

Pheed has already attracted celebrities such as Chris Brown and David Guetta, who will no doubt be attracted to the extra revenue the app could generate. However will social network users pay to see their content/the content of their friends? If the answer yes, Pheed could mark an evolution in social networking.
