What is Near Social?

• Near Social (previously known as Social08) is a social data protocol built on top of NEAR Protocol.
• From creating a database to host social interactions (SocialDB), the project eventually evolved into an open space for people in the NEAR ecosystem to explore an open-source, decentralized alternative to Twitter.

Getting into NEAR social

• On NEAR social users own their data, and developers can easily tap into the power of accessible public data to create their own apps. This enhances network effects as better data leads to better algorithms and, eventually, a better experience for everyone involved.

Widgets

• When you go to the NEAR social site, pretty much everything you see is a widget. Widgets are open-source software components that can be combined, forked, and created by anyone with some coding knowledge. Widgets are prettty similar lego blocks, waiting to be turned into whatever you want them to be. An added benefit is that they can be updated and improved without recompiling all dependent widgets — making the process faster and saving computation.
• NEAR social already has all the widgets necessary to offer an experience similar to Twitter, where you can create and customize your own profile, follow others, chat and create polls. They can be small things like a simple button or the entire home screen of the NEAR social app.
