We’ve been working hard at Hibe developing a platform that accurately reflects your real life interactions. After months of work, we’re excited to share our new video with you, as well as an update on the progress of the product. Hibe is a social network that will allow you to interact with others through the social contexts that you use in real life. Giving users complete control over their online interactions lets them choose which of their contacts see which of their content. Here are a couple of the key features of Hibe:
Facets
Facets allow you to separate the different social contexts of your life. Facets can be anything from your family, work and friends and share different information with each one! Your contacts will not know what facet they are in, and will not be able to see other contacts in different facets. Also, each facet is a unique profile, so your contacts will see you differently, depending on what you want them to see.
Booklets
On Hibe, you can create a Booklet for each one of your interests. When a booklet is created, you can decide which facets to share it with. Booklets can be anything from a recent vacation, your iPhone or your pets. In your booklets, you can share videos, photos, and others can comment!
New Video – Hibe in 1 Minute
To show how easy Hibe makes it to share with your different facets, we’ve made a quick one minute video, which is also available in French.
Production Update
We have been working extremely hard to bring Hibe to everyone as soon as possible. However since privacy and security are extremely important to us we want to ensure that we are properly prepared when we launch. That being said, we are glad to be able to announce that the official version of Hibe will be rolling out in late July, 2011. First priority will be given to users who have already pre-registered. Feel free to go to http://hibe.com to sign up, if you haven’t already. We will be updating the blog with further updates as well as our Twitter and Facebook pages.
