Have you sent your first "Pheed" yet? Launched late last year, Pheed is a new social media platform that lets you share text, photos, videos and audio. Propelled by teenage users, Pheed topped the App Store's social networking category in late February.
Though the company says the app is not just for teens, Pheed told Mashable the user base is 81% between age 14 and 25.
Pheed's popularity with teens was spurred by several influential teenagers on Twitter sharing that they'd discovered the app. First was
Acacia Brinley, followed by
Pia Mia,
Garrett Backstorm and
Colin Ford.
Both a website and a mobile app, Pheed is currently available for free online and via the App Store.
We've taken a first look at the iPhone app, giving you a quick guide to how to get started with the new social service.
