Niume: a new ‘instant social network’

A new social network called Niume has gone live. It has been created for people frustrated with the limitations Facebook and Twitter by offering an instant audience for users content and solves the issue of noisy feeds.

How does it work?

• Users post in themed communities known as ‘circles’ and their content is seen immediately by everyone following that circle.
• Posts can also be liked, shared or ‘hyped’ by the followers, all of whom have a shared interest in the subject.
• The circles (over 500 to date) can be set up by anyone, on any subject, and followed by anyone else who’s interested.

Co-Founder Francesco Facca comments:

“Niume is about sharing your ideas with like-minded people outside your usual connections, and helping you discover more from people who like the same things as you. The circles naturally filter content by interest theme, reducing noisy feeds. For people posting content, Niume uniquely offers users instant reach. You don’t have to build a following first, and that is the real joy of Niume.”

Since its launch in July as an open platform, based on the feedback from its passionate users, Niume has grown rapidly to reach over 150,000 unique visitors in the last three months, and 12,076 posts to date.
