When comes to Social Networking, I guess nothing beat Facebook, Twitter or even Google+. Having said that, there are many useful niche Social Networking apps spawning into action in the recent years.

Today, I am going to share one of the niche social networking app which is focusing on getting instant response by asking simple questions. It is called Thumb.

Brief Description Of The App:
Thumb is a simple to use social networking app whereby you can get opinions of any kind in an instance. You simply post your question (you can support your question by attaching an image) and the thumbers can give you a "Thumb Up" (agreed with you), "Thumb Down" (don't agree with you) or "Neutral" (yes and no kind of answer). Of course, as a member, you can place your opinion (with or without additional comment) on other members' question as well. This app is gamified by introducing a stars system whereby you will earn stars from the originator of the question if they think your answer is useful and valid.

It is a social network because you can add other members as your friends. Thus, you can post your questions to the community at large or only to your friend list or both.

PROS:
1. Simple to use
2. Good ways to get instant opinions from peer

CONS: 
1. Addictive

My Rating: 
4 (Out Of 5)


My Personal Experience:
I've use the app for more than a year now and still using it to post some questions to the Thumbers to seek immediate opinions (e.g. which photo is best for my blog etc...). Also, through Thumb app, I get to know a couple of nice guys that turn Facebook friends.

Cheers!
