The creators of Vero are betting that there’s room for a new kind of social network — one that’s a bit more attuned to the nuances of real-world relationships.Like other social media services, Vero allows users to share movies, music, photos and so on. Where it gets a little different is in the privacy around that sharing.Instead of confronting users with overly complicated, difficult-to-understand controls, Vero users can share content with different groups — close friends, friends and acquaintances. They can also post content and keep it completely private.
With Vero, there are only four levels of sharing.So sharing with your friends will include all your close friends, and sharing with your acquaintances will include all your friends. This is illustrated neatly by Vero’s slider that you can adjust to different privacy levels.
