Review of Chime.in. One of the newest networks on the web, Chime.in entered the online world last October in San Francisco during the Web 2.0 Summit.
The idea was produced by Bill Gross, a social media entrepreneur who has created around 75 startups. Unlike the usual social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, it focuses solely on uniting people sharing the same interests. Another thing that sets Chime.in apart is that members can profit from sharing ads with their followers (which is also possible on Twitter). Everything you need to know about Chime.in. Chime.in, a Mixx.com Takeover Makeover. We’ve been spending a good deal of time on social network Chime.in (formerly Mixx.com), a social voting site described by Mashable as a combination of “Twitter, Blogging and Reddit.”
After several weeks of interaction with the Chime.in community and exploration of the UI, we happily confirm Mashable’s prognosis: Chime.in, UberMedia’s take on social networking, is a game-changer and a reminder of what Digg and StumbleUpon could have been if they had listened to their communities. In the words of UberMedia CEO Bill Gross, unlike Twitter, which considers itself an “information network,” Chime.in is an “interest network,” connecting users to the information and communities that they choose to subscribe to.
