The Vibeo ecosystem is another ground-breaking project based on the blockchain technology. We are very well aware of the trend we have these days with social media platforms and messaging applications. Most people have even adopted instant messengers as the primary means of digital communications and mobile phone developers are not helping matters at all as they keep creating more smartphones which further facilitates the use of instant messenger applications. The era of text messages (SMS) and MMS is gradually being taken over by the era of instant messaging and the use of instant messaging applications also makes things really easy; messages are being transferred immediately and its free unlike text messaging that each text attracts a fee.
The idea of instant messaging has been fuelled by various factors; the spike in the use of social network platforms, this is mostly common among young people. Most people are online all the time, hence leading to a rise in the need to transmit information back and forth from one end of a social network to the other; the power of the internet is unfathomable.
Internet enabled smartphones are virtually everywhere we turn to and I can very well say that this is a huge contributing factor to the popularity of instant messaging coupled with the need to always be connected to the world.
The Business Model of Instant Messengers.
The business behind a typical instant messager consists of the developers of the platform, the party that pay for the usage of the platform (whatsapp and facebook messenger for example) and the users of the platform; it is these users that make the whole thing a business because without the platform users, revenue cannot be created. The developers of the platform must keep upgrading the platform and doing everything to ensure they maintain the platform users and not just maintain but also attract more users as users are needed for them to generate revenue and the upgrades or added features should be done in such a way that it does not result to any form of inconvenience or difficulty on the user's part.
The Vibeo platform is an advanced instant messaging application, much more advanced than any other messaging application ever created and one of the things that make Vibeo unique and much more advanced is the blockchain technology. Vibeo is not just about the sending and receiving of information (messages), it is about so much more than that. Vibeo has an e-wallet integrated within the app and through this e-wallet, users of the app can send and receive cryptocurrency tokens from any user within the platform. Users can also perform other digital functions like cryptocurrency exchanging and even payment of services with cryptocurrency from within the platform; this does not sound like any other instant messaging application in existence.
