Keek
is an up and coming social media website and phone application. Although it is
not very known about in the United States, it is the number one social media
site in the Middle East, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Now it is
starting to gain popularity in the United States of America.
“Keek
is number one for a reason,” Isaac Raichyk, the founder and chief executive
officer of Keek said. “ Users like that our app is extremely fast, fun and easy
to use. We are obsessed with speed and our goal is to keep Keek fast, fun and
free as we continue to grow.”
The
free service tool allows people to record a video 36 seconds long for their
webcam, Iphone, Android, or Blackberry. Key feautures include the ability to
subscribe to people of interest, the ability to comment on videos with text and
emoticons, and the ability to respond to videos with the ‘keekback’ gadget.
Eventually
globalization or the process of increasing interconnectedness among nations,
cultures, and people will benefit the goal of Keek more. Right now in the US,
few Keek posts have been made on same sex marriage. The application is still in
its early stages, so it has not been exposed to much journalistic use. Learning
about Keek has helped to show a correlation between how social media movements
like the Human Rights Campaign’s red and pink equality signs impact the United
States culture significantly through websites like Twitter and Facebook that
both have a sizeable amount of site users. The social media impact of the gay
marriage discussion proves to not fare well among websites with less
viewership.
This
is important because it gives politically aware citizens an idea of how to
track or maybe even plan a social media movement. Keek could still be the
avenue for a social media movement one day, but not for events that involve
American politics at the moment.
