[Stats2] SA's Photo Sharing Social Network By A Wits Student

[admin at chomietags.co.za]

Hi

This email serves to inform you of a photo sharing social network called 
ChomieTags (www.chomietags.co.za) started by final year student Kgomotso 
Serwalo. She has finished programming it and is ready for any feedback 
from you guys. It would be awesome if the next big thing comes out of 
Wits just like Facebook is from Harvard!

It works sort of like Instagram that people share pictures etc. The way 
it works is this:

1. You don't need a powerful phone to use it so anyone can access it 
very easily. You can use a mobile browser or computer, no need for an 
Android phone with the app or whatever. It works on any phone that can 
access the internet. The computer version of the website is also a full 
website, with sign up, upload etc.

2. When you upload a picture, people don't comment or like it in the 
usual way. You add tags or hashtags to your picture and your followers 
will like or confirm those hashtags. For example, if your picture is 
happy and beautiful, you upload it and add tags "Happy", "Beautiful". 
Your followers then confirm those tags and you can see the number of 
likes/confirmations for each tag.

3. The more confirmations your picture gets, the more it rises in ranks 
and earns badges that are displayed on the picture. Your picture starts 
off cold with a Cold Badge. As people confirm it starts getting warm and 
hotter and hotter.
The badges are:
0 - 19 confirmations = Cold Badge
20 - 49 confirmations = Spark Badge
51 - 99 confirmations = Bonfire Badge
100+ confirmations = Supernova Badge

Also you will get an idea of why people like your pics or what they 
think. Instead of just getting 130 Likes, you will see there are 50 
confirmations on the "Happy" tag, 25 on "Beautiful", 1 on "NoFilter" 
etc.
By the time you get to more than 100 confirmations, your picture would 
have been put in the rank of hot pictures.

Look at the presentation, sign up, log in, upload posts and provide 
feedback.

Let Witsies change the world!
