[Dimaeiya333]

There's a new social network that's already making waves on the campus of Stanford University in the United States and around the world. Fizz was developed by students for students. The anonymous forum, where any topic can be discussed and shared, is designed to help students connect with their peers. Read more about the Fizz app now.


Key points
Fizz was developed by students for students and is primarily characterized by private communities.
Users can only register if they are actually studying, i.e. if they have a university email address.
A local moderator, who knows the culture of the respective university, is supposed to ensure the security of the application.

Founded by two former Stanford students, the new social network Fizz is aimed primarily at students . Previously launched under the name Buzz, Fizz offers the same basic principle that inspired Mark Zuckerberg to create Facebook back in the day: students should be able to exchange information with each other.

For those who don't remember well, the feature film "The Social Network" r&d directors email database shows how Facebook was invented. For example, the following video shows what was real and what was fiction in the film.


But back to Fizz, the app that thousands of Stanford students already use as an anonymous forum for discussion and exchange. No matter what's on users' minds, they can share whatever they want , be it jokes, confessions, crushes or opinions on world news. But why is Fizz the star of the social media sky?

How it all started with Fizz
The story of the new social network is not long yet. Its founders, Teddy Solomon and Ashton Cofe r, came up with the idea in November 2020, when they both felt excluded from the student community because there was no centralized platform that brought young people together.

So Solomon and Cofer thought about what other apps had done wrong and what they specifically wanted from a social network as college students — that's when the idea of ​​private communities came about.

Cofer explained to Stanford Daily : “ We originally created Buzz as a platform for our friends to have fun and to help students connect with their campus because while we were at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, we were all feeling very disconnected from campus. Watching how Buzz, now Fizz, has evolved over time to become an inclusive and uplifting platform for everyone and keeping the positivity through content moderation has been rewarding for us .”
