I was just going through the ANN Threads and found this ANN on Swirge Project:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5187495.0
Haven't done much research on it. But it looks like the team are adopting the same format as Steemit.com. And the rewards in posting on steemit right now is very down as steem price is down too. So is Swirge.com a new upcoming better alternative? Or just another crappy project  :D
The new crypto Facebook?

I do not like their user interface, it is so plain and there are so many blank spaces around the corner. Just compare it with Steemit if you want to know what I am talking about, if you want to find something that might replace Steemit or has a better pay rate and looking. You should check this out: https://www.publish0x.com/
they are giving you higher rates compared to Steemit and their user interface looks clean and neat.

i visit the website above but it looks like that website just a crappy project and never be a new facebook/steemit.
if we compare the UI from facebook/steemit with this website far from good UI

There are loads of alternatives to Steemit - for example https://trybe.one/ - but none of them have gained the critical mass that Steemit has managed.

If you have a lot of spare time on your hands, no harm trying some of these out. But just be aware that they all tend to fizzle out, Golos style.

this swirge.com website for its user interface is too poor in features, I have tried but for the tools it still feels lacking, still far different when compared to steemit especially with facebook.
Swirge in my opinion is not an option as an alternative to steemit, there are many better ones like publish0x, I am speaking not in terms of payment per post / rewards, but in terms of comfort when writing an article.

I don't really think the swirge project can stand a chance to compete with steemit, after going through it, even though I'm no longer a big fan of steemit (they killed their platform with annoying ads). Alternatives like publishox are trying a lil, although not compared to steemit still. I'm looking forward to see a better alternative (crypto project for publishing articles), for now I do more publishing mainly on medium. I thought minds project could compete with steemit to no avail, smoke.io was a joke too.

It is too early to say this project will become steemit alternative because it does not have much attention from people(it has not paid their users yet), moreover they are following steemit template. This is a flag for me because they do not have a unique characteristic that every platform must have to make people remember their platform. We have better alternatives if you are looking for it other than this project and already paid their users for using their platform.

yes the service might gives as partisan with the business on crypto investment gains with chance on referring decision as disputing notice with message on anchoring and exchanging option on masses as delivering option to put on trade as the attains on table of market with the broker.

Best alternative to steemit? well I don't know, maybe?.. but seems their website needs to improve, it is too simple for me, I don't like it. Well it is looks like a crypto facebook, lol.

This is good alternative but the payment still little for me, can you tell us how much  you can earn with that platform per month so we have an idea . I try this one but I guess I do it wrong because I only earn a little amount of token and lost interest of using it after i see it.

With this outdated /trying to be polite/ UI, Swirge is not an alternative of nothing...

IMO Swirge is trying to be something in between Twitter, Reddit, and Steemit and because of that, they are failing hard. The whole concept seems wrong to me.

well , i don't think so , for me steemit looking better.
and also , what Swirge have to beat Steemit ?  i guess nothing ,
btw , its seems like when BitTube arrive , more pople think it will be the next youtube, but well , its just nothing,as time goes.

Right. To simple. Nowadays, to attract readers, it takes an attractive and lightweight web display. In my opinion, with such a view, the reader will quickly get bored those webview need alot improvement. If this project wants to be as successful as steemit, they don't need to copy the whole steemit. Simply adding a few points lacking steemite then they will booming.

Crappy project, all of these community curation platforms are eventually gamed by the early birds.

Stick with traditional news outlets, and you won't have to filter through so many spammy, poorly written and overly-promoted posts.

I recently bumped into Swirge about 2 weeks again. Turns out it has been up and running for a while now. However, I don't really like it. It's not like I have anything against it (spoiler alert: I'm not even a Steemit fanboy). Their platform looks just like "another social media" platform powered by blockchain and incentivized by crypto. I didn't find anything interesting about their community too. Swirge is still new though, so it's subject to changes. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

I have heard about this project for the first time. I am using Publish0x for me it is much better than Steemit because also readers can earn some cryptocurrencies. What is the main advantage of this project? Also you can make crypto as a reader?

Yeah I thought as much the website UI it needs to be worked on.
And I figured out that the project is on Public beta so Swirge.com is still much open to improving on their website, they stated that they are working on an upgrade version: https://swirge.com/content/perma?id=1754 hopefully this comes with a better UI layout.
Thanks for the other alternatives. But something just keeps me watching Swirge they are working not to just be a blogging site but more. And they got no ICO so I wonder how they are funding the project.
Here is their payout system: https://swirge.com/content/perma?id=899
And they also got web games. Lol.
The users on it are currently 261 in total too poor, but still a new project. Let's see what they become.
Will check out publish0x. :)

I can't see it even as a competition. It's pretty hard to fight Steemit at the moment, the brilliance of it is the simplicity and the minimalistic look and it has already big user base and hardcore fans. Only thing you can fight it with would me adding more user options for the project, but that would easily kill the simplicity and it's hard to rethink simplicity from the ground up.

swirge.com can not be said as an alternative or a substitute for steemit.  without the lack of interface and inadequate features.  not comfortable to write an article there.  but there is a new platform that has many features, a good pliers interface and get rewards as well as steemit.  The Blog Platform  is publish0x.com which has been mentioned by many members at Dorum.  publish0x.com which deserves to be an alternative to steemit.

It's too early to tell they've just launched their platform, there's still a lot of work to do here, the interface is very simple you will still like Facebook the only perks that you are going o post here is the rewards, that they are giving, I like Steemit when they are just starting out like, let's see what they are going to bring in the table, we don't have a social media for Cryptocurrency, I think it's time to have one now, now that the community is growing.

I have tried all kinds of steemit clones. Whaleshares, weku, trybe and publish0x. With the exception of the latter which doesnt have a native token, all eventually turn into shit, in regards to token price, so they are not really worth bothering with them..

Same is probably true for Swirge but ok I'll give it a try but I must say...the interface looks really crappy 😂

1 UI isnt good IMO, there is ads in the website makes weird

2. i dont find whitepaper, or i miss something ???

3. look the picture below, what is this

It is clear that the major issues with Swirge right now is their UI it's too simple.
And like you said their isn't any major social media Platform for the CRYPTO space. We've got blogging sites but Swirge aims to be more that a blogging site and that interests me.
They are like a month old. Hopefully the team hears and do something about their UI.

The SwirgOs page is their web gaming platform. Lol.
I have not visited that page with a computer before. The UI is even worse on desktop than on mobile.  :D

Dosent seem very promising man, the thread only has one page since its inception :( maybe the team is just working hard? :P
User there also seeming to report alot of broken links in the projects info, maybe just an abandoned scamcoin?
Theres a few like Steemit,  and theres maybe even room for more then one, but idk, Steemit is kinda evolving too so they need to move fast if their gonna keep up ("Steem Engine" looks really cool)

I'm sorry to tell but Steemit is still by far the best. Steemit price is down because we are still in the bear market. Although we love to see competition here, but I guess Steemit will remain the best blockchain-based blogging regardless of the current rewards. And there's not much activity in their ANN thread, another indication that people are not sold with this project.

Although, I have not checked the platform, but it is good to see that steemit now has another competitor, added to the competitors' list.
However, I will be expecting something much more better than steemit, if not at the same level, because that is what will make it work and standout.

In my opinion there will be many platforms like this because when a platform becomes famous, there will be followers. In my opinion, steemit is still good even though the reward has been reduced but as a tool to increase knowledge, I think it is very useful

Ive seen this platform. Very young and needs a lot of development. I dont think the title is fit for this, steemit is very well known and have been proven useful. Many will probably disagree with you. Ive seen this project 3weeks ago and I can see that they have potential, and their team is active but that is not enough to build a platform with trusted users. They should improve marketing and more services provider inside their own platform.

I just tried visiting this website. It seems still not secure.
I see in the address bar, it looks like SSL has not been installed correctly. This website is interesting. It can be the best rival of Steem.

Among such projects like this I recently encountered publish0x. As far as I remember, it is possible to send a tip to the authors too. This project is newer and I do not know how successful it will be. Because there are lots of projects like this, and they can not all be in the top. Besides, I did not investigate the project, but if it were comparable to Facebook, I would have heard of it.

Are you guys following Swirge up?
They just launched a new upgrade and this came with a new UI and look.
This is nice. They actually listen to users complaints. They also added a Night mode. More info on the  new update can be found here: https://swirge.com/content/perma?id=2683
They just launched a marketplace for buyers and sellers to connect. I haven't checked that out yet. But damn IMO they got more features that any other Decentralized social media Platform that I have seen so far. They just need the user base hopefully a serious marketing campaign to get the Platform active and trending. This is more than a blogging site.
Nice work for the team they should keep it up.

I have seen that but it's not even better than https://www.publish0x.com/

You can see publish 0x has more attractive UI rather than swirge and i can say that that's really good to see swirge has done some improvements but it looks like a big update is needed by swirge.

I hope that will get a further update with a better UI.

There are so many things I can see that's wrong with the Ida of Swirge being the next steemit, The interface is nothing to write home about and if this is indicative of their programming skills, then it leaves a lot to be desired... Additionally the Swirge token is not trading anywhere, you cannot reward in a token that has no value and expect people to leave an already accomplished platform to come there.

People usually compare the UI of Swirge with other crypto blogging sites like Publishox and Steemit forgetting that Swirge is not just a blogging website. It has more features and portrays itself as a complete social media with all the basic Social media features which is more than just blogging. Publishox don't have a chatting or mailing platform or a Group platform. Swirge does that's a social media and this their new UI update portrays it and is a huge update already IMO. Remember the project is just one month old. This should be their second month. And they are seriously developing the platform which we all can see. What is keeping me from being too active on it is just that their token is not traded anywhere. Hopefully they get it listed soon. Or maybe they hot other plans or reason for not listing it yet. Like they are still in public beta might be the reason. ???

I might consider trybe as next steemit but this platform lacks many vital info and much worse is their platform lots of error when using it. There is so much things to fix and do on their website. I dont know why OP mentioned the next steemit it's very far from steemit caliber to say this can compete with them or even be the next steemit. Ive check them on telegram and they are just starting it, maybe in the future if they can improve first their platform.

People are like that, they always shout they are alternative to the existing and leading projects, so people can see the comparison, but in my observation, it's a long way for Swirge,there's a lot of things to be done here, but they have done a good marketing, now people are now notcing their presence, but they come out short on the comparison.

I have heard about Swirge.com but I think Steemit has been a habit for a lot of people. There are many bloggers who write very good and helpful articles for the readers.
What matters here is not the reward of each article, but the number of readers. The higher the number of readers, the higher the donation will be, and the authors most want it.
That's why I don't see the growth potential of Swirge.

Let's not make things hard for new projects, let's give them a chance, the fact that they set up a project and it's not even an ICO to compete with top and stable projects maybe they will improve later on  as they gain more supports from their users, there are projects that started out small and improve as they move, one example is Facebook and Google.

Well said, we don't have to underestimate it because its possible that it can be beneficial to us. Also, we can't just judge it without even experiencing it and it just started that is why its better to give them opportunity to prove themselves because we can't easily tell their potentialities. Maybe they are able to give us benefits and opportunities, maybe they are capable on giving helpful information for everyone of us.

I think that the best alternative for Steemit already exists and it is called Publish0x. Right now, a lot of people are switching to this platform, because they are paying in Bounty0x and Hydro tokens for content publishers.

In my opinion, it's better publish0x compared to swirge, especially traffic to swirge itself is still not developed and their tokens are still not listed on the market so if you want to look for alternatives steemit publish0x is more recommended.

No, never! This platform looks shit and it seems some unprofessional developers build this website! Lots of projects came to be an alternative of steemit but all failed. Steemit is one of the top crypto projects with two different native coins! So, don't mix up a shit looking project with the legendary Steemit!

All those giving bad comments about Swirge.com I hope you get to regret it some day. Swirge is getting better and better by the day. Just logged in and saw the wonderful new look of Swirge. And this is awesome. Their blog section is even better now To accommodate bloggers. Their wallet is also great. And they have a Marketplace which is beautifully added to the Platform. They got forum, pages, groups, and more features just to name a few.
Right now what Swirge needs is the user adoption. I believe with time they will get there. And I am happy to be an early adopter.
Don't let big names make you blind at seeing the next big thing.
Tiktok just overtook almighty Facebook in being the most downloaded social media app in the world. Anything is possible.
