Now you can know just how awesome your travel photos and selfies truly are with the ROL app. This new app describes itself as 'Tinder for photo sharing.' The idea is that you put up a photo and it gets sent out into the network to three users. If they ROL (like) it, then it gets spread to three more users. The more ROLs you get the higher you rank. If you get a photo you don't like or that is inappropriate you can BIN it. Photos that earn this distinction three times in a row are automatically pulled.
Ranking up offers more than just feel-good points as higher ranks can share short videos in addition to photos. Like Tinder the ROL app shows your name and location, but unlike the dating app you can hide this info if you wish to remain anonymous.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Anonymous Photo Sharing
- The trend of anonymous photo-sharing applications could create opportunities for companies to develop new ways for individuals to share candid photos without fear of judgement or criticism.
- Gamified Social Media
- The gamification of social media through apps like ROL presents an opportunity for businesses to develop engaging and interactive platforms that incentivize user participation.
- Anonymous Networking
- The rise of anonymous social platforms highlights a potential trend towards anonymous networking, creating opportunities for businesses to provide professional networking opportunities that protect privacy and eliminate potential biases.
Sectors Adopting This
- Social Media
- The anonymous photo-sharing trend represents an opportunity for social media companies to develop new features that promote user engagement and create a safe space for sharing.
- Mobile App Development
- The growth of anonymous social applications presents an opportunity for mobile app developers to create new, innovative platforms that leverage anonymity to offer unique benefits.
- Professional Networking
- The trend towards anonymous networking could create opportunities for companies to develop new platforms that cater specifically to users who require professional connections but also require privacy and discretion.
