EOS Voice has gone through something of a metamorphosis, I think, for the much, much better.
Voice began when it made the then world's largest ever purchase for a domain name. It went for $30M for the voice.com URL. See this press release. That domain name of voice.com went from Michael Saylor's company MicroStrategy over to Block.one, an outfit on the EOSIO platform.
Voice started as a blogging site for longer-form content, rather similar to medium.com. See the original site on the Wayback Machine here.
Voice.com seemed to have tremendous potential as a blogging site. One innovative feature was an autction-like incentivizing mechanism. Blog authors could use earned points to effectively bid on another author's post. The highest bidder won the right to have his/her name and brand atop that post in a banner. Posts with large "sales" would be more prominent on the platform. In this way, bloggers were incentivized to promote other blogs with the possibility of "advertising" for themselves.
Yet, Voice.com never caught fire and it suddenly went dark.
Then, out of the blue, it announced that it was changing formats to NFTs.
Although sudden, I think the change was forward-thinking. The blogging Voice.com was going nowhere. Doing a cut-and-run and moving to NFTs was a logical choice.
And here's how it looks today:
I've minted a couple of NFTs on Voice.com. It's easy, as most platforms are these days. (I recall my first mint, on OpenSea, I literally took two pages of notes.)
The War of NFT Platforms is currently ongoing, with OpenSea https://dappradar.com/nft/marketplaces evidently leading in the rankings. My guess is that the earliness of NFTs was one of the reasons Voice.com decided to suddenly give up on blogging and switch to NFTs in kind of a "the time is now!" maneuver. We shall see how the Voice platform plays out.
