Cross-platform instant messenger LINE – which has an impressive 600 million active mobile users, some 200 million fewer than rival WhatsApp – has debuted a brand-new standalone social app called Tale.
Tale Overview
Tale is a new social media platform is powered by hashtags and users can post text, photographs, links to online content or videos into different categories. These user-generated posts are then rated by up and down votes cast by fellow Tale users, in a similar model to Reddit. Users can create a Tale account or log-in with Facebook to comment, up and down vote and post to the hashtag-filled categories.
Tale uses #hashtags to not only link ideas, but also encourage dialogue between people. With Tale, trending topics are ranked in real-time. With just three #hashtags per post, users can focus on content and unleash their creativity with the addition of text and doodles. From the bizarre and hilarious to the inspirational, behind each #hashtag lies a unique, vibrant community of users sharing common interests.
Tale’s simple and user-friendly interface is clean and sleek. With its innovative architecture, Tale inspires compelling dialogue that connects like-minded individuals, encouraging users to unlock their creativity.
