Gagapost.com adds content collaboration to social networking and makes it mobile
At the DEMO 09 conference today, Gagapost.com announced a new social blogging platform for internet users to easily create meaningful content through relationship collaboration. Gagapost puts content collaboration on top of a social network structure and enables it on mobile devices.
"Gagapost creates a new participation model for the blogosphere," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMO conferences. "It transforms a personal blog into a Web 2.0 community, allowing friends and colleagues to make information and memory sharing a collective effort."
Gagapost breaks the fundamental structure of traditional blogging platform. Blog is no longer the container for posts. Instead, each post doesn’t belong to any blog but affiliate with various groups of authors. Gagapost then aggregates the post based on its affiliation into an individual’s blog view. Gagapost calls it event-based social blogging structure.
"There are 184 million bloggers worldwide in 2008," said Samson Yao, business development VP of Gagapost. "However, daily post number decreased by 40% last year. People give up blogging because they are lazy, lack of words and get bored because nobody reads their blogs! Gagapost wants to make blogging easy and fun again."
The event based and collaborative features bring a revolutionary behavior on mobile blogging. Gagapost iPhone focuses on easy creation and simple collaboration of photo blog.
"Current mobile blogging is hard. Not only inputting text is difficult, but also coming up with enough content for one post is a big challenge," said Steve Peng, product development VP of Gagapost. "When a group of friends goes out to a party, they can use Gagapost on iPhone and easily take photos and instantly create and share a common post. With each person adding bits and pieces, an event is recorded thoroughly from different view point."
Gagapost aims to make blogging a fun and easy social event on web once again.
