Chime In
Just as we start to get used to Google + (well, some of us, and to some extent), up pops another social network hailed as the next best thing. 

And what’s that, you ask? It’s called Chime.in and it works like this: 

Like other social networks, Chime.in lets users share content with others. It has a newsfeed, profile pages and a system for following other users. The social network doesn’t have status updates, though. Instead it has “chimes,” which are a cross between a Facebook status update and a blog post.

Users are allowed to write short articles on Chime.in — up to 4,000 characters. A chime displays a headline (optional), the first few sentences of a chime, a piece of multimedia (an image, a video, etc.), a profile picture, interest tags and options for liking, commenting and sharing. Chimes included threaded comments that include a Reddit-style up or downvote system for surfacing the best comments to the top of a chime.

What’s good about it is that you can tag each chime with up to five different areas of interest, thus making sure that those who have subscribed to these areas get to see your chime and can then follow you if they wish to do so. 

So, we at TBW HQ decided we needed to get on board, and who’s the first person we see on the home page? None other than Ashton Kutcher. 

If we chime in enough, “toyboy” may end up being a recognised area of interest…!
