The Latest Social Experience – “The New Hive”

These days everyone is looking for outlets to express themselves, share interests, and engage with the content posted by others.  While platforms like tumblr, Pinterest and Instagram allow you to express and share your thoughts, images, videos and more – the platforms are so rigged.  While platforms like WordPress offer the ability to customize your blog or site as far as your imagination can take you, you need to have some skills or spend some cash to get everything just as you imagined it to be.

Times have changed, more people want to share their own customized web experience but many people don’t have the skill sets to make that come to life.  Here enters the opportunity founders of The New Hive capitalized on perfectly.

The New Hive is a fantastic new user friendly experience that allows you to build one-off website pages to express yourself – no HTML skills required.  This simple drag  and drop user interface  enables you to layout your page, customize and add any assets you want – video, photos, audio, etc.  Once you have your site ready you can choose to keep it private or publish it for others to view – share buttons are available for most networks and allow you to broadcast your creativity even further.   While the site is currently in beta and working on an invitation only membership at the moment, this platform has all the makings of a hit in my opinion.  Visit the site to learn more and request your beta invitation.
