Trendoo - The Next-Gen Platform for Creators

The motivation behind Trendoo

The web has come quite far since web 1.0 in 1989 until its gradual replacement with the emergence of web 2.0 in 2005. The problem with web 2.0, however, is that businesses holding our data can use it for their profit and to manipulate public opinion.

Data leaks, such as the one experienced by 533 million Facebook users across 106 countries, have exposed vast amounts of personal information. The sharing of troves of full names, phone numbers, email addresses, and profile details leaves victims vulnerable to criminal attacks.

And most of us now realize that platforms themselves harvest and sell user data for it to be raked over and exploited by advertisers. For many, this feels like a breach of trust, as well as an unacceptable infringement of privacy.

There is then the control of content – or lack of it. For instance, creators opening an account with Instagram must allow it to “use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate and create derivative works” of their content. Feeds curated by platform algorithms are increasing bias and polarization.

The birth of Trendoo

Blockchain-based technologies have now advanced to the point of providing viable solutions for these web2 pain points. Decentralized social media offers the chance to rethink the relationship between social networks and their users, from the ground up rather than the top down.

Decentralized architecture means there does not have to be a single platform owner. Web3 can also enable users to guide the platforms they use and own their social communities.

Trendoo aims to give back the power to content creators.

How does Trendoo work?

  • digital creators that post on our platform own their content and have full control over it

  • each piece of content they post is minted as NFT which ensures the ownership & the authenticity of their work

  • digital creators get rewarded by fans directly in cryptocurrency

Web3 is a revolution happening as we speak and is the future of the Internet. We want to be part of it and we hope that you will too!

I hope some of you will love this immediately and others will be sceptical initially. I will be here all day to answer questions and engage.

    So what is it?

    Social network?

    Also this phrase 'and can use it to be commercialised' is awkward. Maybe re-write it to be 'can use our data for their profit' or something.

      Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Updated the content and hope it's less awkward now
