Currently the biggest player in the field is Steemit platform and it will be very hard to compete them. Is your long term plan to take them down or to be No.2 Decentralized Social Network?? Second option is more realistic.
Hello and Thank you for your responses and interest in Sphere. We plan to focus on our own platform rather than "taking out" the competition. We're not trying to push old-style networks like Facebook and Twitter out of business. Decentralized social networks are unquestionably better, but at the moment there's room for us all, and lots of overlap in users. We have significantly different features from Steemit, which is more blog-based. Sphere's social network will let users create groups to share interests, create campaigns and we are planning a marketplace that will use our Social Activity Tokens (SAT). We will implement new ideas suggested by our community and will constantly improve features to attract more users. Right now we have an overwhelming amount of positive feedback. People are loving the project. They are looking forward to its success. Telling you will push facebook and twitter out of business would probably make people don't trust you. But I agree with you, there is a big market and plenty of room. He specifically said they are NOT trying to push out Twitter and Facebook.

Am I not the only one who thinks this is looking like datum/soma hybrid right?
It has social media with marketplace also you can sell or protect your data. Which can really work by the way.
That's a good point.. Combining services in 1 platform is always better imo. Although datum and soma are very nice products as well.

I love datum and hoping a great profit there but soma is an unknown. It can be great but it can be a total disaster too. Still, social media is a huge area so there is plenty of room for every project.

I haven't heard that much about soma recently but datum in combination with this ICO could be very profitable for investors.

If you compare with Soma, you can see that they are not interested in their token after ICO. Token is not traded anywhere and is not even added to the ED list. On yobit trades are not present as the token does not get on balance, and probably this problem forever. And how does Sphere plan to deal with its token after the ICO? Will the token be added to the exchanges, and in what time frame?

in my opinion the best solution is to combine the two aspects in a project the social part and the marketing part, the token i not believe it has any active role in the project but must be purchased for the increasing value over time,and to support the team in the development of the idea

yes its really shitty whats happening to soma, since it was a good ico but the devs dropped the token so fast imo. dunno if they will regain it. good that i only invested a very little amount... hope this will not happen here ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Hi Devs, I like the fact that the app is only 4+mb in Android platform. I am sure there'll be more work put in to the platform. Right now, I am impressed with the load speed while not to impressed with the interface.
UI is something that can be fixed later. Maybe even hire some external UX guys. The underlying tech is way more important. It might be fixed later but that could be done before presenting aplication in ann thread I like Social networking on blockchain idea because that will lower cenzorship levels sadly there isnt good social networks projects for now ,maybe this will change this ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) i will try to follow progress I didn't even realize they already had an app available. I'll check it out. Another cool feature I found on their website is Sphere debit card, which allows you to spend SAT's in any shop that accepts card payments! This is such a great thing to incentivize users to get on board and it will create a good amount of hype. Seriously? A debit card? Also didn't know about it. That's some expansion from traditional social networks. It's one more option to use SATs then, very comfortable. If there is a debit card tied to tokens, this is a huge advantage. Such an opportunity will uniquely make this social network popular. And this will increase the value of tokens. Yes, you are absolutely right, it will greatly increase the value of tokens. I have never met such an idea anywhere before. The guys did a good job. It is really so! The ability to withdraw money anywhere in the world, it's cool! The more I learn about this platform the more I like it.

I also got this idea so far, so I am quite wondering because it's talked about selling your data.

Or you can sell it for a price and make some buck for it. That was what i get.

how they will use tokens here? What liquidity of tokens?
Apparently their tokens will not have use directly connection to the network, although that would be genius, their valorization will be given independently to the activities, if I am not mistaken. The concept of the project is good, and although there are others already active, Sphere already has a certain reputation and many sympathizers, which will do well to ICO If this is true, than how will the tokens keep their value after ICO? There has got to be incentive to keep or buy the tokens?

I still wait for an official statement from Time on the channels, but that's just my impression, because I do not think anything documented that cites such a relationship with the tokens. Some projects only work with the dividend incentives and this would be good
