co-up!

Co-up is a tool for building, managing, and further developing communities online - and take existing ones to the next level. How? In essence, through storytelling. Because we are convinced that it is stories that turn a bunch of people into real communities of trust, support, and comfort - a means largely underestimated so far on existing social media platforms. How does it work? In a co-up.space every registered community member can suggest topics for debate and engage in those with other members. The difference of co-up 'debates' to standard social media posts and commenting is that 'debates' are only the starting point for more: Because in a co-up.space important and valuable debates among members do not slip off the timeline at one point but can be developed into 'stories', for example summarizing people's interaction and/or expanding on open questions. Storytelling becomes a means of capturing new value from online interaction - and develop stronger community around it,
