There has been a lot of upheaval in the world of social media over the past handful of months. First Google Plus announced they were officially ending support for the platform, then Tumblr tried to one-up them by saying they were going to crack down on explicit content. Facebook is, as always, mired in controversy over mining user data, and allowing toxic groups to flourish on their platform. With all of this going on, lots of people are looking for other ways to get their social media fix. And one website that's drawn a lot of folks is the relative newcomer MeWe.

Be The Next Big Arena?

2. There has been a lot of upheaval in the world of social media over the past
handful of months. First Google Plus announced they were officially ending
support for the platform, then Tumblr tried to one-up them by saying they
were going to crack down on explicit content. Facebook is, as always, mired
in controversy over mining user data, and allowing toxic groups to flourish
on their platform.
With all of this going on, lots of people are looking for other ways to get
their social media fix. And one website that's drawn a lot of folks is the
relative newcomer MeWe.

3. WHAT IS MEWE?
The short version is that MeWe is a platform whose look and function is
similar to Facebook, in as much as it allows you to make a profile, find
friends, put stuff on your wall, message people, and join interest groups.
However, while the interface might look messier and less polished than
what folks are used to seeing on Facebook, there is something notable by its
absence; ads.

4. MeWe's major selling point, as a
platform, is that it allows users to
do all the things they're used to on
a platform like Facebook, but it
doesn't try to mine their
information, or upsell them with
random ads.
While it isn't as popular or
established as some sites, it is
gaining steam and picking up a lot
of users... especially users who
found their platform of choice was
no longer available when Google
Plus went the way of the dodo.

5. A NEW FRONTIER?
While MeWe is not as open to
businesses as Facebook is in
terms of advertising, it is a fresh
ground for those looking for a
place to put their content
marketing skills to use. And with
a steadily growing population of
users, the site is only drawing
more attention.
Whether it will ever be as big and successful as Facebook and Twitter remains
to be seen, but it certainly represents a market that a lot of businesses would
do well to start tapping. For more on the latest in social media news and
