BEST VINES Video Compilation November 2013 (Week 2) Pt. 1 - Youtube - Video
CALL it an addiction or a disease but theres no denying that the world loves social media. And we, in particular, just cant get enough of it. So much so that by the end of last year, there were 13 million Facebook users in the country alone. Thats nearly half our population.
Ever found yourself waking up early in the morning to check your Facebook or Twitter feeds? Youre not alone.
Why does social media appeal to us so much? Is it because its the most efficient way to stay connected? If so, are we engaged in it for friendship or shared interests?
It is probably a combination of both. Joota our answer to the plethora of social media offerings wants to distinguish itself by offering one function that doesnt get enough attention: Shared interest.
Playing on the word juta (Malay for million), the social networking platform was created to filter and make sense of information shared on social media.
I followed someone on social media because he posted contents that catered to my interest. Not everyone posts things about their breakfast or where they are driving to, which doesnt necessarily intrigue everyone, says Joot Ventures chief operating officer Ashran Ghazi, who is also the co-founder.
Theres just too much noise in social media today, an abundance of information that streams through our daily feeds regardless of importance, making it hard to find what matters. And many share the same feeling.
CONTENT CENTRIC
Joota is all about content linking. The focus isnt about connecting people for the sake of connecting but rather shared interest, says Ashran.
Joot or jooting, according to Ashran, and fellow co-founder and product manager Lilyana Abdul Latiff, is akin to selecting content to share and bookmarking it in the form of cards.

China is moving to tighten its grip over social networking services even more, citing possible threats to stability.
On Friday, Chinese authorities released a new blueprint for the country's future that covered economic and social reforms including loosening the nation's decades old one-child policy. But in the online space, the government showed no signs of shifting gears in its vast censorship of the Internet.
The government instead pointed to problems with its existing system to manage the flow of online information. Currently, there are too many different overseeing departments, resulting in inconsistencies and a lack of efficiency, the government said in a posting, explaining the reforms.
"At the same time, due to the rise of online media, the Internet regulatory systems that manage the media and the industry are falling far behind to catch up with the new changes," the post stated.
The government referred to the growing popularity of Chinese social networking and instant messaging tools as a major worry. The services can rapidly disseminate information and mobilize society, the posting said.
The authorities specifically mentioned Weixin, a mobile chatting app developed by local Internet giant Tencent. The app has taken China by storm, and boasts over 200 million monthly average users. Outside of the country, the app is better known as WeChat.
To make the Internet "more secure," China plans to bolster its regulatory systems, and increase the scope of their legal authority, the government said without offering further details.
China has already gained notoriety for its strict censorship of the Internet, and has blocked foreign sites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Local social networking services, however, continue to operate, but self-censor content by sometimes deleting politically sensitive or anti-government posts.
Despite that, in recent months Chinese authorities have been cracking down on Internet users for allegedly fabricating rumors online. In September, China said it would hand out jail sentences to users found guilty.
