#SocialMedia Meets Video: Have You Tried #CHILL yet
I know…I know….ANOTHER Social Media Platform. YEAH Yeah…However we are after all in a growing technology boom so there will continue to be lots of new and exciting social media platforms introduced. We should maybe view it as an opportunity to get involved with something new and cool and NOT ..”OOOO MMM GGG…Another Social Media platform.” Ok, mini rant over.
I am a bit of a self proclaimed early adopter and I really like to try all of the new social media platforms as I hear about them. I stick with the ones that are cool and that are beneficial to my brand, those that are not sort of fade away. I use my XeeMe Profile to keep track of them all.
Well, I signed up for Chill a while ago but it was one that sort of faded away. However recently there was a bit of a burst of people in my social media circles connecting so I had an opportunity to visit the platform again. I do believe they made a lot of improvements to the interface and I LOVE it. The premise behind Chill is a place to “hang out” and watch videos with your friends. The interface is a bit like Pinterest but for video. Check it out when you have an opportunity!

I started I getting notices from Chill over the weekend that so and so is now following you. I thought Chill, Chill, nope definitely didn’t register for Chill. Saw some bewilderment from the FB crew which also experienced the Chill e-mails. Seems like some kind of automatic registration taking place. Anyway, will take a closer look at the platform this week.
Hi Steven! I got a barrage of notifications as well from our crew so I took a minute to look into it again. I do remember signing up but I had not done much on the platform. I really do like the look of it.
Did you guys get the 700 branch out and Pinterest notices too? This stuff is blowing up my e-mail.
Hi Adam! I got slammed with Branch Out as well..and Pinterest but that wasn’t quite as bad. LOL
Chill reminds me of a combination between Pinterest, GetGlue & Google+ Hangouts. Sounds like a neat concept, but not sure how often I would use it. I have a ton of friends on GetGlue who post on Twitter what they’re watching all the time, but I personally haven’t gotten into the habit of even checking in when I watch something, let alone starting a video lounge. Could change when I join something like this.
Thanks for the review!
Hi Morgan! It is a pretty cool concept, especially for those that watch and share a lot of video. It does have a really cool look to it, very similar to Pinterest, it did grab my interest and It did have a sticky element. So it could be a bit of a sleeper social media platform that can become addictive. Thanks for taking time to read and comment!
