Gamification is definitely a trend, and periodically Web services industry pleases us interesting and not a very original idea. Agree, an attempt to cross the Facebook, Skype, and a hike in the cafe game Sims followed by the imposition of all this happiness to the texture of real life - quite an original idea. About this service today and we'll talk.
materiel
Social networks are now a great many from obschetematicheskih to what some marginalized communities prepared, extreme, so let's deal with the positioning of the service.
Cafe4tune in our latitudes is not so popular as, say, VKontakte and Facebook, so the information on it is not very much. The project is registered in the US and is currently in beta-testing stage. Its creators - immigrants from the former Soviet Union, hence the love for the Russian language and Russian-speaking audience. The main "trick" the grid - the creation of three-dimensional space, a kind of virtual reality and the opportunities that do not have any other network. In addition to being Cafe4tune combines the functions of Facebook, Skype, Mamba and the same Sims, you can vote, watch football and flirt. But first things first.
Capabilities
Cafe4tune - is an attempt to create an alternative to the real world. Here, too, there are countries, regions and cities, and their names are identical to the actual. Here each user can create their avatar and build it all life.
Registration Cafe4tune is no different from the registration in other social networks. It does not bode nothing unusual and the main menu is still the same profile, news of friends and two blocks - "people recommended" and "recommended the cafe."
A cafe
The system is not case-community called groups, and cafes. Each user can create their own cafe (not one), specify the subject matter and the virtual address, after which the cafe will be on the streets of the three-dimensional city. You can also become a member of the existing cafe and communicate within it.
communication
One of the main "chip" networks are tools for communication. If the "classic" social networks are often limited to text messaging, then here you can communicate voice and even arrange a videoconference.
Elections
As mentioned above, the network has a country. Therefore, they must have a leader. President of the country can become any user. If you vote for it - he will be the head of a virtual country, and his portrait with a proposal to ask the question will personally hang on the page for each user. The President is elected for a specific term, but if the government of the people are not satisfied, then each user can initiate a referendum to change the head.
Meet
The user can leave flirt request, and the rest - to respond to it. If in the process of communicating users feel that they are interested in each other, then they can open personal information to each other and continue the dialogue.
Karaoke
In the "Karaoke" users will be able to sing. And to do this can be not only one, but also with friends: it is necessary to gather in a cafe theme. You can broadcast live improvised concert. As an option - record your performance on video and upload to the network, to then it could evaluate other users.
Broadcasts
Very interesting and promising "chip" project sees the section "broadcasting." It can help you organize a live broadcast of the concert, the football match, presentations and other events. This can be done with a web camera or directly from their mobile devices. Those who miss a broadcast, will be able to see it in the record.
Games
On the section of the game will not stop, because everything here is pretty standard.
3D-mode
What is really worth talking about is 3D. It allows you to access all the above-described functionality, but in a visual form. It looks as follows: you go to the appropriate section in the window of your browser by a man standing on the street. Man - this is you.
Driving them from the keyboard, you can walk through the city streets, go to any coffee shop or a karaoke bar. Past you will bear the crowds of passers-by - it is the same people, just like you. It is possible that among them you and your friends are caught - you can chat with them. Optionally meet other passers-by.
Mobile app
The network has applications for the iPhone and Android. In principle, the application contains a standard set of social networks for customer functions: news, friends list, profile, correspondence, list of cafes, etc.
For business
Probably, it is impossible to ignore features that Cafe4tune store for business. As you've probably guessed, we are talking about advertising. Advertisers can create their own shops, galleries and exhibitions. The network administration promises the possibility of organizing online sales directly within the network. The success of the ideas will contribute to the 3D mode: advertising shops and galleries harmoniously fit into the city's streets.
