Today's Cool Site of the Day (12/12) boldly declares the death of Facebook.
Canvas, an innovative start up out of Los Angeles, has launched an ambitious campaign that puts Facebook in its crosshairs. Canvas incorporates a concept it calls your “central identity,” or “Ci,” which is essentially a single identity for all of your social media communication. By incorporating a range of features, including audio call, video call, and private message, together with several of the most commonly used means of sharing content, you will be able to communicate in all the same ways you're used to, but with the convenience of only one identity to manage and only one service to sign into.
The real breakthrough in Canvas comes in the way content is shared throughout the platform. The company will introduce a new media type called “canvases” which let you share packaged experiences through several types of media, to tell a fuller story. This means that instead of sharing just a photo or video, you can share a multi-dimensional experience through a package of different photos, videos, music, movies,
books, apps, and more - all from within a single post.
books, apps, and more - all from within a single post.
Canvas is groundbreaking, beautiful, and nearly complete – but it still needs your help. Get your early access invite and reserve your username by contributing to the cause, and for a little more, you can receive perks such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, and exclusive party invites.
