Zon is a social network that combines features of Twitter, LiveJournal, Amazon Kindle, news.ycombinator.com, and Dmoz.

They are seamlessly integrated by making everything items and folders (a folder is an item, too). An item can be in multiple folders (unlike Twitter where a post can be just in one stream).

Authors and others will be indeed paid, thanks to our advanced affiliate program (both for the entire network and for individual items, separate for buyers and sellers). We will profit from a share from selling goods at our network and from paid streams where a folder is sorted accordingly how much an item was paid for (analog of Twitter ads).

We have folders of two kinds: owned (the owner chooses what to put into the folder) and communal (voting decides the order of items in the folders).

It will be implemented putting both backend and frontend to Internet Computer blockchain renowned for its low cost and fast finality times and its convenience creating impression that it is not a blockchain.

Here is a preliminary product demo.

For more information see https://docs.zoncircle.com - This is my main business project and I am going to work on it hard (I also have two co-founders). The current stage is debugging of my new distributed database NacDB that I will use in this app. (That's a scientific research, because I have built in a novel way a reliable system out of unreliable actors.)
