美国融资千万打造的第三代在线社交平台意欲挺进新加坡

近年来,互联网技术发展和共享经济兴起给社会生活各个领域带来了前所未有的变革,从根本上改变着人与人之间的关系。在这一趋势下,美国一个融资千万美元打造的第三代在线社交平台正在悄然兴起,凭借先进的互联网技术和创新商业模式,不仅免除收取费用和佣金,还允许同意和平台分享个人信息的用户从广告收入中盈利。在本土成功试运营一年后,这一平台准备向全球拓展,而新加坡便是其战略版图中的亚洲首站之一。

这个名为Humans.net的平台致力于利用区块链和人工智能技术,打破当前类似在线社交平台的收费模式和信息垄断,真正建立起一个全球人力资源库,提供一站式服务,帮助拥有各种专业技能和服务需求的人建立直接联系、达成交易。

 自2017年成立,Humans.net在美国4个州投入试运营,迄今已经吸引了20多万注册用户,其中60%来自东海岸地区,促成交易量3万多次,还与美国国家报纸出版商协会、大纽约地区商会和纽约黄色的士公司(Yellow Cab)等企业和机构建立了战略合作伙伴关系。目前,平台用户的数量还在迅速增长,并开始向全球扩展。因此,Humans.net准备正式进入亚洲,正在寻找合作伙伴,而新加坡正是理想目的地之一。

“这是一个具有革命性的线上社交平台模式,旨在变革我们在线互动、交换技能与服务的方式,使其更简单高效,”Humans.net创始人兼首席执行官Vlad Dobrynin说。

据Humans.net介绍,与MySpace为代表的第一代和Facebook为代表的第二代在线社交平台相比,Humans.net有一大特点:在这个利用区块链技术打造的分布式平台上,用户可以自行掌握如何管理和分享个人信息,而平台无法在未经允许的情况下利用或向第三方透露这些信息,对用户推送在线广告内容来获取利益。

更具有突破性的做法是,Humansnet.net会从平台广告收入中抽取25%建立一个奖励支付储备金,其中40%用于发放给同意分享其个人信息、接受平台推送广告内容的用户,使他们同样受益。而且,这一操作过程会在一个受保护的环境中,避免隐私受到侵犯的风险。“在这种分布式平台上,用户可以重新获得掌控权力,确保他们的信息不会未经允许受到利用。在当今数据驱动的经济环境中,这种做法虽然有些超前,但却能产生深远的影响,”Dobrynin说。

Humans.net还指出其平台的另一特点:不会收取中间费用、佣金或其他任何隐性费用,允许专业技能服务的供求双方在平台上直接联络、对话、交易和完成支付。而平台的主要收入来源是其研发的Humans Promotion Engine,基于使用人工智能技术来分析用户同意分享的各种数据和线上浏览行为。对于想在平台上推广其产品或服务的企业或个人,这一工具可以帮他们在合适的时候和位置向最理想的潜在客户群传递信息。

此外,Humans.net还利用人工智能技术来优化平台上的搜索过程和改善评价体系,使用户无论身在何方、有何种需求都能以更快速度获得更精准的匹配结果。该平台还打算采用一种独特的DNA验证系统,来确保用户信息的真实性,避免欺诈行为,并确保平台内容的合法性。“我们的最终愿景是,将目前的平台打造成世界上最大的、完全分布式的点对点网络,在全球范围内实现人与商业之间更高效的互动,”Dobrynin说。

 US next-generation social platform connecting people and businesses to exchange jobs, goods and services set to march into Singapore

Global expansion of Humans.net aims at revolution in how people and businesses connect and trade skills and services, allowing users to control and profit from their data sharing

New York, January 6, 2018: Following a successful trial run in the US, Humans.net, a next-generation social platform empowered by innovative Internet technology and revolutionary user data sharing policy is beginning its global rollout this month and aiming to land in Singapore.

Launched in 2017, Humans.net is built on blockchain and AI technology for individuals and companies to connect and exchange skills and services, with an ultimate vision to become the world’s largest fully decentralized peer-to-peer network and enable more efficient interactions between people and businesses around the world.

After the initial trial run across four US states, Humans.net has attracted 200,000 users and facilitated over 3,000 deals in the exchange of services across the areas such as law,  finance, taxes and training as well as household and garden labor. The project has already secured $10 million seed funding and partnership with the renown organizations including Greater New York Chamber of Commerce and Yellow Cab SLSJET Management Corp.

Unlike similar platforms which gather user data for commercial purposes and charge fees, Humans.net is a decentralized platform that allows each individual user to retain and benefit from the ownership of their data with three core values: 

Control: Humans.net is a decentralized platform, meaning that data is solely owned by users and cannot be used without explicit permission. Each user has a unique access key and as a result, privacy is guaranteed. Additionally, the platform uses a unique DNA-based verification system to eliminate fake accounts, fraud and bots.

Transparency: There are no hidden costs, fees or commission for users on the Humans.net platform. They can have real-time direct conversations with one another to reach deal and make online payment. The platform generates revenue through the Humans Promotion  Engine, freemium services for businesses, and an open API for businesses wishing to connect to its database.

 

Reward: Users who agree to receive advertising via the Humans.net platform receive 40% of the Humans.net Incentive Payment Reserve, which accounts for 25% of the total revenue generated.

By leveraging decentralized networks, power is given back to users ensuring no one can use their data without their permission. In today’s world of data driven economies, this is a radical but far-reaching step,” said Humans.net Founder & CEO Vlad Dobrynin. “We are building a revolutionary relationship economics model which fundamentally changes how we interact online and how we trade skills and services.”

Humans.net uses advanced AI technology to drive the search process on the platform to let people get swift and accurate search results irrespective of geographical location. The platform is also building an advanced scoring system, in which the recommendations between users are based on the views of relevant individuals rather than a means-based scoring system, to make it more accurate in matching the supply and demand of people’s skills and services.
