About
Whyd is a social network for music lovers to collect and share the tracks they love, crafted in Paris by an international team of crazy characters bent on one thing: creating the place for music lovers.
What am I doing here?
If you don’t know where you are, that’s OK. You’re safe with us now. You’re in the Whyd community, a place filled with music lovers who enjoy digging up and sharing the best of the newest music on the web. If you’re a music lover, take your shoes off, make a coffee, get comfortable, stay with us for a while!
No seriously, what is this place and why does it feel so warm and fuzzy?
That warm and fuzzy feeling is community. No one gives a shit about features of a music platform, we just want music, new music, in a dead simple way to organize it. So that’s what Whyd is, we stripped away all of the gloss to let you concentrate on what matters: the music. You know what’s better than music? More music, which is why we have taken great care to bring together a community of inspiring music influencers and curators. They are kind people who want you to hear the music they find. And they want to hear the music that you love too. The feeling is called love, and it’s sadly absent from a lot of places on the web.
Cool, can I just forget about all of the other places where I find music and just use Whyd all the time then?
While we certainly want you to spend as much time as possible on Whyd, the platforms where people share music like YouTube, Soundcloud, blogs, web magazines, and other social networks are important too. Not everyone knows about Whyd yet, and a lot of people take a lot of time to write about and curate music. They have created awesome places to find music. Whyd just makes it a little easier for you personally to collect what you like in one place with our super simple bookmarklet! So make sure you still go to these other places!
Alright, alright, I get it, I’m an influencer already, how do I build an audience on Whyd and become world famous?
It will sound simple, but use the platform. Subscribe to other people, interact with their music, but more importantly, post great tracks. If you post cool music it will get picked up by the community and might even start to trend, if that happens enough you will trend in the World Whyd Rankings and just watch the number of subscribers go up!
For a shortcut you can invite everyone that you know with a custom invite code. Everyone that comes in from that link will be subscribed to you. And talk to us too, if you’ve got an interesting side project we can promote it and help to boost your standing!
Plus, new people who come to Whyd get paired up to existing music lovers depending on their genre choices, so the more cool music you add the more likely you will pick up subscribers when the arrive.
