A new social network, called kaioo, started today. You will probably say “What the heck? Not another social network!”, but hold on a second. This one sounds interesting, because it claims to be really social, as it is a non-profit organization:
kaioo offers its users all advantages of a state-of-the art Social Community platform: they can communicate with friends, upload pictures, post videos etc. The key difference is that kaioo donates all advertising revenues to charity, while the operating costs are covered by sponsors. kaioo places only a limited amount of advertising on the site, so there is no disadvantage to using kaioo compared to any other social networking site. Rather, the user benefits from the positive side effect of participating in kaioo: as an accredited non-profit foundation, kaioo donates all the money that the user generates while surfing on the site to charity. Plus, the user increases kaioo’s donating power by spending more time on the platform. In short: users have a good time and at the same time do good!
Currently, kaioo seems to have some problems with server errors and performance. Furthermore there are some missing functionalities, e.g. so far it seems to be not possible to link to a profile page. Hopefully those issues will be fixed soon.
But anyway, I really like the idea, so you can find me on kaioo now. And you should sign up today as well!
