Unthink.com open for public beta. Is it yet another social network?

Unthink has finally opened its door for beta testing. In case you don’t know Unthink is a new social network, or social Revolution as its makers claim, that is to take over Google+ and Facebook. read more. Unthink made a strong anti facebook campaign. It claims to have a fairer privacy policy: you are owner of whatever you post on unthink.com

I opened my email last Tuesday (October 25th) and saw an email that Unthink.com is now open for public beta.

I have to say, the word "unthink" irritates me, but I will go with it because I don’t know what it will turn out to be. I will delay my opinion for the end.

Signing up was fairly easy when I clicked on the link, I was asked to create a username and password. Right after I was presented with this video:

The video is about the concept the website was creating on, and how your information will not be shared. Oh! And that facebook sucks.

The next step was the "UNTHINK DEED". The promise that your information will not be shared:

And some preamble and Covenant, and such and such, I skipped right ahead.

The following step is the interesting step for me, because I remember when I first used facebook, and there was no ads and stuff. Unthink presents you right in the beginning with "Brands". It is a fancy way of saying there will be ads. But not any ads, you have to endorse them first in order for them to work, well that’s what I understand from the video so far.

Step five was a very common one, but I chose not to enter my email and password, I just skipped. I don’t know about you but I don’t usually give my username and password to someone. But that’s just me.

And Then we are done!

Congratulation! Note that you are reminded that by default your privacy is set to private, meaning no one can see you, until you change your settings.

Here is how it looks like inside.

To tell you the truth I like the concept very much, I remember not posting many things on facebook because I thought it would seem inappropriate to some. Unthink comes natively with all these cool features that will spare me from having to make a mistake first and correct it. But since my last arcticle about unthink there have been many changes to google and facebook. They both offer almost exactly what Unthink is calling "Social Revolution", and they have the advantage of being already familiar to users.

Opinions:

So lets give unthink a chance and see what it will become. Is it going to be ‘Yet another social network’ or ‘The Social Revolution’ what do you think? Visit Visit unthink.com and share your experience.
