iShook is seeking to enhance its singular network to facilitate and host digital content and increase content creators visibility. Rather than have content creators lost under a multitude of distribution networks and social media channels, iShook will provide a singular social network gateway between authors and their audiences.
How does the project create value to the econsystem and differs from competing projects - our goal is to connect content creators and audiences while leveraging the blockchain technology and of course to ensure rich content is delivered to end users. What began as a vision and successful platform that enables publishers and booksellers to distribute their works to millions of users are seeking to break those limits and move to all forms of content.
iShook differentiates itself from existing startups, by utilizing blockchain technology on its already existing platform. Thousands of books already exist within the iShook ecosystem, and an immense number of users are already leveraging our existing platform. The social reading experience has already been initiated and is well underway on iShook. Content creators and consumers have both, publishing options and markup abilities at hand only to enhance their experience. The iShook ecosystem doesn’t just include our web application, but a developed mobile app, a news aggregator, and an eCommerce Store
iShook currently facilitates over 12,000 publishers and over 60,000 ebooks through our partner “Gardners UK” www.gardners.com. Our platform serves the needs of users who wish to share their experiences across a list of social networks, all while hosting content natively. Our website www. ishook.com is our flagship platform featuring a robust social network and discovery tool for content creators and consumers alike. Our social network is meant to connect members of similar reading interests as well as authors with their potential reader base.
Having a mobile application is integral when facilitating a 21st-century community. The iShook mobile demand will play a large part in our user’s lives on-the-go as they not only read but share their intellect and insights to the iShook community. One of the many problems facing blockchain projects is a lack of a dedicated mobile application. iShook is currently not just a web platform, but also a robust mobile application that users can already download.
