A social network created only and exclusively for the rich. Is called Column and its peculiarity actually that of having a registration fee that would reserve it only for the wealthiest, economically speaking. The platform clearly inspired by the classic Social, Facebook in the first place, but in fact inside it will allow the entry of only the most comfortable with influential personalities such as the Silicon Valley greats but also Nobel laureates or actors and artists of a certain level. The registration will be by invitation only and the one that makes Column unique, and perhaps not very accessible by everyone, concerns the registration fee: it will take $ 100,000 to access it.
Column: the $ 100,000 membership for the wealthiest
The new Social Network was designed by the CEO Aron Ping DSouza, which we have already seen as the architect of the closure of Gawker. There are also other people behind the idea of Column and let's talk about the creative director Sarah Cone, famous founder of Social Impact Capital, but also of Jake Lodwick, co-founder of Vimeo. In short, a highly respectable team that can rely on the creation of Column on a financier of excellence: Peter Thiel, the PayPal co-founder and also one of the first Facebook financiers. Not only because the rumors also speak of Stephen Wolfram, mathematician and founder of his Wolfram Research, as well as Marc Benioff, current CEO of Saelesforce.

The founders' lapse is to have a social network that makes its users "smarter" and this thanks to high quality content. Members will have their own "column", a sort of personal mini-community, and will be able to publish both written and multimedia content. Obviously the new social network hopes to monetize also thanks to the companies, which will be able to purchase advertising spaces to achieve what is expected to be "the most exclusive audience on the web".
As said inside, it will host only famous people and important reference figures such as Nobel laureates and entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley, of the caliber of Elon Musk or Gwyneth Paltrow, which has become a leader in the wellness sector, in addition to CEOs such as Apple, Google, HP and other brands. Sharing their stories and content, will inspire other members and not only because "ordinary people" they will be able to view the publications, but without interacting or adding their own.

Absent a "Like" button which will instead be replaced by the "Truth" button that is "truth". This will have no other purpose than to make users evaluate whether a statement reported on the social network is true or false. Precisely this will allow, according to the founders, to create a completely transparent and truthful environment with the possibility of having high quality content managing to completely exclude trolls and fake profiles.
