CLIENT: LITT
OUTLET: NEWS.COM.AU
Two Perth men have created their own social media app called Litt and will roll it out across Australia to take on giants like Facebook and Instagram.
Founders of Litt, Brent Thompson and Peter Salom, have already poured a couple of million dollars into their social media platform and after trialing it in Perth are preparing to take it nationwide.
The pair believe its good timing too as Facebook made a drastic move on Thursday, banning users from seeing or sharing Australian news, in response to the government’s proposed law to force social media giants to pay for news content.
Mr Thompson predicted that the social media giant’s ban will be the final straw for many users and will see a mass exodus of Aussies deleting Facebook from their lives as they look for alternatives.
