Gilgamesh: The Social Network for Book Lovers

in #ico6 years ago (edited)

Introduction

Reading book has its own charm and benefits. Our thinking and way of working are improved by reading books and sharing information. People having the wisdom of reading many books can be considered knowledgeable. People have been fond of sharing the knowledge among fellow human beings. Since the advent of social media that has been shifted on to the Social media platforms. Reading on the screen rather than physical books has multiplied, resulting in an ecosystem of online libraries and readers. The people continue to share their wisdom on the social media. But, the deep insights on the relevant topics and meaningful content worthy of being shared is missing on the social network.

They say life has become fast paced in the age of technology, but it must be remembered that times like these demand better questions and more answers. Recent media report suggests that Facebook is looking into research that large users of social media have been found to be suffering from social isolation and anxiety. Well, the short and simple answer they had was it is none of their faults. The user who does not use the social media actively is at fault, according to the researchers of facebook. Do you think a solution is possible where people can engage in creative discussion and debate? A platform for sharing what you understand what you have read or experienced?

SOLUTION OFFERED

The Gilgamesh has decided to do something about it. They have designed a unique platform which allows Book readers, critics, publishers and service industry to create an ecosystem of knowledgeable society which believes in quality information and best books. It can also be called as the social media for book lovers. Providing deep insights into a topic or the book read, exchanging valuable and informational material about the books will be two of the prime aims of the platform.

They also plan to develop a mobile app which will bring the same experience to the small screen. Self-publishing will be way easier than today. Reading stories, interviews, chatting with the publishers and authors and fellow reading enthusiasts are a few of the things you can do on the platform.

Powered by Blockchain technology and IPFS, they aim to bring the best experience of reading a book and knowing what is happening around the world of books.

ICO Information & Team ( https://www.gilgameshplatform.com/)

To create a platform which will change the way how we read and interact, they are conducting an ICO. 25% of total tokens will be available for the public contributors. 20% of total tokens is retained by the founders.

The funds will be spent on the platform development and marketing activities of Gilgamesh. The team behind this amazing concept have experience in the field of Stack development, technology and business.

CONCLUSION

We cannot lose ourselves in the complex web of clicks and shares. The jungle of wasteland Content exists on the social media, where you find millions of web pages satisfying your instant gratification in few clicks. The wait and paucity of the reading and contemplating has been missing from the web. It seems that time has lost its significance where people could engage in the thoughts and communication over what one has read and how would it really helps us grow? The publishers and critics are finding it tough to adapt to the digital age given the inherent nature of free content on the web.

The dilemma becomes stronger as people realise the importance and value of time in the era of the Internet where they spend hours looking at their mobile screen. The need for balance becomes paramount once we realise the truth behind the working of the complex social media industry, which is hell-bent on making people slave of their platform. Knowledge is power. And, this platform aims to create an ecosystem of open and easily accessible knowledge for everyone in the world.

Books are the best companions and nothing can be more satisfying than knowing more about the writing and meaningful insights about the topic from respected authors and critics who will be part of the platform. I think they will create a strong foundation for the book lovers and people, who will come together on a single platform to celebrate open information.
