Why should you build your own social network?

Generic social networks like Facebook are great. Really. They bring everybody together. And when I say “everybody”, I mean everybody: your grandma, your annoying aunt, your pushy cousin, your attention-seeker friend.

The result is a lot of noise. Do you really want to see what your cousin had for lunch? How many baby pictures can you bear in a day? Who cares that your friend’s neighbour’s kid come fourth in a gymnastics competition. (Well, your friend’s neighbour might but you probably don’t.)

What you want to see are things that matter to you: articles about your hobbies, posts about your favorite companies, videos that hit a spot.

Despite all the filtering and algorithms, less than 5 percent of the content you see on Facebook every day is of any interest to you. You just scroll right past it.

Build your own social network and you — and your members — can be certain that they’re seeing the content that actually means something to them.

I'm a Digital Nomad currently living in Manila, The Philippines. Co-Founder and CEO of PeepSo.com. First time WordCamp Speaker at WordCamp Kuala Lumpur 2017, WordCamp Singapore 2019 and hoping to speak more soon. I started my journey with open source nearly a decade ago as a simple support guy. Joomla! was my first encounter with the world of Open Source. After that period of my life got phased out I fell in love with WordPress and never left. I have been both lucky and at the same time I worked my ass off to get to where I am right now. Free time, if I have any, is usually spent with my wife and / or travel around South-East Asia. Even when I'm supposed to be on a little vacation, not a day goes by when I don't check up on PeepSo. So far visited or lived in: Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hungary, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, China, Japan, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Norway, Germany, Scotland, England and more... Whenever possible, I jump on my Ducati Monster and just ride.
