Emotion-Based Social Networks

The 'Emotely' Social Network Works to Let Users Share Emotions

— April 19, 2017 — Tech
Social media sites are often loaded with lots of information about a person's feelings, but 'Emotely' is a new network that works to make it simpler to share emotions.

The 'Emotely' social network works by having users share their immediate emotions on a certain topic or just in general. Users can search various events and happenings to let others know how they're feeling about them. This increases the ability for a user to share emotions openly without having to explain them in detail.

The 'Emotely' social network also works to let users share their "emotes" on other social platforms for cross pollination of feelings. 'Emotely' lets users share emotions and also works to let users see how important people in their circle are doing.
