Introducing the Public Facet on Hibe

Since 2009 we have been working on a platform to help bring real life interactions online. To that end, we introduced Facets, which allow you to fully interact with each of your social contexts in a private environment. Hibe has built a reputation for being the privacy-aware social network, but our primary mission has always been to give people the choice in the way they interact with people around them. Just like in real life, many people interact with others not only in a private context, but publicly as well.

Today we are introducing the Public Facet on Hibe in order to reinforce our vision of a real-life social network. The Public Facet will allow people to have the choice to interact with others publicly, or on a deeper level through their private facets. Users on Hibe will have the choice to create a public facet, however any user will be free to continue to interact with their network on a completely private level and we will continue to develop this feature to facilitate private interactions. That being said, those who want to be found on Hibe, or have a place to stand out will have the Public Facet to fill these needs. Here is a breakdown of what the Public Facet can do for you:

The Public Facet will be released in Q1 of 2012 along with many other great additions to the Hibe platform. In the near future we will be continuing our discussion on the Public Facet, for now if you have question of feedback on this post feel free to contribute in the comments below. As always, keep an eye out here on the blog, as well as on Twitter and Facebook for updates.
