Screem
Bringing social networking to the blockchain age.
What is screem?
Steem's value comes from its prospects. It is a content creation network that is fit to replace current models of social networking. The first iteration of social networks is steemit. Steemit allows content creators to get paid for well thought out and interesting blog posts. Unfortunately, this does not fit the style of all users. Twitter did not get huge because of well thought out blog posts, it got huge because of witty sentences. I believe this model of social networking can be added to steem as well. This is why I am introducing the Alpha of Screem (working title). Screem is a twitter clone that allows users to follow there friends and give them money for making them laugh. As of right now it's a CLI client and a web front end. This is a very buggy proof of concept. It only allows for sign in, discover, post, and vote functionality, but I believe it can be more as it has economic incentives of steem and all the social incentives of twitter.
