Short videos can be more reliable than photos, based on 8 seconds of video and lbs unfamiliar

Strangers and anonymous socializing are making the most of the day when acquaintances and social products are converging. Take a stranger to socialize, currently on the market have interest-oriented Mahouve and the site, the platform platform concept, the answer to the question can be opened dialogue, the main value of social fast, based on the two-degree network concept of So-and-so. And as the main Street began to emphasize based on the interests of social networking, many entrepreneurs also began to pay attention to the market gap left by the Mo, try to from different points and play into a stranger social.

8PM This product (currently only has the Android version, the iOS version comes online next month), which, in my opinion, is smart enough to combine the hot, short video with a stranger's social hotspot, presenting it to users in a similar Tinder way, allowing users to socialize with strangers based on 8 seconds of short video and LBS.

In 8PM, the user recorded a short 8 seconds video (can be uploaded from the local video), fill in the basic user information, you can view the people around you. Use mechanism, also used Tinder this way you love me, the user can be presented with a short video point "X" or "Love" (also can be left and right), the two sides "like", you can send text messages, temporarily does not support pictures and voice and other rich media features.

According to co-founder Zhao Jiaxi: "8PM has now been awarded a total of 600,000 dollars of Angel Warren financing from Shire and Flash's co-founder Bill Woodward." Base in Beijing, the team is currently about 10 people. ”

Zhao Jiaxi, a stranger based on photos, is 1.0, and now with the development of network infrastructure and mobile end, the social product of strangers based on short video is 2.0. He also mentioned that the short video community precipitates users currently have three ways, one is similar to micro-vision, seconds to do this content sharing platform, the second tool, similar to the United States, the three 8PM this is based on social to retain users.

Currently do not know based on short video of the prospects of social networking, but the trial of Slingshot, a few friends did not know a few pieces of the environment around the short video over, feeling very interesting, and I found slingshot scene change scene mechanism, very suitable for strangers social, Because curiosity seems to me to be the key to a stranger's social life. Compared with the Tinder and 8PM "Two lovers" mode, slingshot more radical, perhaps after the courtship of the steps, 8PM may consider slingshot this "after reading is Burning + scene change Scene" way to avoid "two lovers" after the insipid, increase the success of friends, Increase user viscosity.
