I stumbled across Pheed quite by accident. Yet another social network, right? Not quite. Pheed deserves this (very brief) mention for one reason and one reason alone.
Pheed allows you to subscribe to celebrities, musicians and entertainer’s ‘pheeds’…for a fee. You see, these celebs, musos and so-called entertainers aren’t making enough money from their day jobs, so instead the likes of Miley Cyrus and Paris fucking Hilton want you to follow them on Pheed in exchange for your cold hard cash.
For the very reasonable fee (phee?) of anywhere between $1.99 and $34.99(!) you’ll be given exclusive (by exclusive they mean just you and any other idiots willing to pay for it) access to your favorite celebrity’s pheed which contains rich media in the form of video and pictures.
Basically, you’re looking at a paid for Facebook, only without all the numbers.
I’m not sure if I should be more critical of the people behind Pheed or the celebrities that will use it to exploit their fans even more.
Yes, I suppose I should point out it will eventually allow you to do the same…
What are your thoughts on Pheed?
