What is
Kontain?
Kontain is a next-generation social community that lets users show what's up with visual updates. Choose a photo or video from your PC or mobile device and quickly broadcast it to your friends and the world on a simple platform — it's the new way for people to connect and share their life. With Kontain, you can create a single snapshot of what's going on or weave a visual narrative with multiple updates. Your followers can now watch your vacation unfold in real-time, see your delicious meal at a restaurant, or view the sights and scenes as you walk through the park. Kontain is more than just another status update, it's a powerful, media-centric way for you to show, not tell.
The Birth
of Kontain?
Kontain was founded on the belief in the power of visual updates. We love social media but we were frustrated by all the noise on existing networks, and wanted to watch instead of just read about all the things our friends and family were doing. We wanted a platform that made it easy to see and be seen. Pictures and video can capture the moment more powerfully than a line of text. So we dedicated ourselves to creating a platform that's simple to use and above all, visually engaging.
Kontain vs
Other Platforms
Micro-blog, status update, social network? Kontain is the best of all three, yet entirely different. Users can post longer blog updates or show what's up in real time with a picture from their mobile device while following and being followed by other users. But the key to Kontain lies in its simplicity and the focus on visual updates. No other platform allows you to show what you're looking at, what you're doing, or what you're experiencing day-by-day or hour-by-hour in such an easy to use and beautiful way. Kontain's dashboard allows you to see what everyone else is doing on an individual basis or as a whole, and opens up entirely new modes of communication and self-expression.
