Welcome to Wire: One App, A Whole Lot to Explore
Social media should be fun.
Social media should be fun. It should help you discover things you care about, connect with people, create something worth sharing, and maybe even learn something new along the way.
That’s the idea behind Wire.
Wire is more than a traditional social timeline. It brings together social posts, news, video, podcasts, communities, interactive tools, games, recipes, and more — all inside one growing platform.
Whether you want to post all day or simply browse what interests you, there’s plenty to discover.
Start With Your Timeline
At the center of Wire is the Timeline.
This is where you can follow people, join conversations, share photos and links, react to posts, reply, and discover what other people are talking about.
But Wire isn’t designed to make everyone follow the exact same feed.
Your experience can grow around your interests.
Sports fan? Follow your teams.
Movie buff? Dive into entertainment.
News junkie? Follow the topics and sources you care about.
Just want to see what your friends are doing? You can do that too.
**Your Wire should feel like your Wire.
Follow Topics, Not Just People**
One of the biggest differences between Wire and a traditional social network is the focus on Topic Hubs.
Think of a Hub as a dedicated home for something you’re interested in.
That could be:
- The New England Patriots
- The NFL
- WWE
- Politics
- A TV show
- A musician
- A hobby
- A major news topic
Hubs can bring together conversations, articles, videos, podcasts, schedules, information, and other useful content in one place.
Instead of hunting through the internet for everything related to a topic, Wire is designed to bring more of it together for you.
Meet News Wire
Want to keep up with what’s happening without bouncing between a dozen websites?
That’s where News Wire comes in.
Wire can organize stories from different publishers around the teams, leagues, topics, and interests you follow.
You can browse headlines, discover different sources, open stories, and then come right back to the conversation on Wire.
The goal is simple:
Help you discover the news — not replace the people who reported it.
Wire is built around linking back to and recognizing original publishers and sources.
Watch With Video Wire
There’s also an entire video side of Wire.
Video Wire lets you discover videos from creators, publishers, teams, topics, and channels without turning the whole social experience into one endless video feed.
Watch something interesting, explore more from that creator, discover related videos, or jump right back into Wire.
Video can also appear throughout Topic Hubs, giving you another way to explore the things you already follow.
Podcasts Have a Home Too
Prefer listening?
Podcast Wire brings podcasts into the experience as well.
Discover shows connected to your interests and listen while exploring the rest of Wire.
Sports podcasts, entertainment shows, commentary, interviews and independent creators can all become part of the same ecosystem.
Wire Is Made for Creating, Too
Wire isn’t only about consuming content.
We want it to be a place where you can make things.
That’s why Wire includes a growing collection of interactive tools.
Depending on what you’re creating, you may be able to build things like:
- Rankings
- Tier lists
- Predictions
- Brackets
- Budget lineups
- Sports challenges
- Shareable graphics
- Polls and interactive experiences
Create something, make it yours, and share the finished result directly to Wire.
Some creations can also be shared outside the app so friends can see what you made.
Build and Share Recipes
Yes, Wire has recipes too.
The Recipe Builder and Cookbook give creators a place to publish dishes, discover recipes from other users, save favorites, rate recipes, build collections, and explore personalized recommendations.
Recipes can include ingredients, instructions, serving adjustments, shopping lists, images, themes, and more.
You might come to Wire for football and leave with something to cook during the game.
We’re okay with that.
Play Something
Wire is also expanding beyond posts and media with interactive games and experiences.
The goal is to make Wire somewhere you can actually do things with other people, not just scroll past each other.
Games such as chess and other multiplayer experiences are part of that bigger vision.
Messaging Without Leaving Wire
See someone you want to talk to privately?
Wire includes direct messaging so conversations can continue beyond the public Timeline.
Send messages, share media, react, reply, and keep up with the people you connect with.
Profiles That Show More Than Posts
Your Wire profile is your home on the platform.
It can bring together your posts, interests, creations, recipes, videos, activity, and other parts of your Wire identity.
As the platform grows, profiles are becoming less like a simple list of posts and more like a personal page for everything you do on Wire.
Discover What *You* Care About
One of Wire’s biggest goals is giving people more control over discovery.
Following Hubs and creators helps shape sections such as My Feed, personalized recommendations, followed content, and other discovery areas throughout the platform.
You shouldn’t have to dig through 100 things you don’t care about just to find the five things you do.
Share Beyond Wire
Found something great?
Wire content is designed to be shareable.
Articles, posts, profiles, interactive creations, recipes, videos and other parts of the platform can connect back to Wire when shared elsewhere.
That means your creations don’t have to live in a closed box.
There’s a Lot More Coming
Wire is still growing.
New Hubs, creator tools, games, discovery features, media experiences, interactive tools, and community features are continually being added.
That’s part of what makes exploring Wire fun: you may log in one day and find an entirely new way to create or discover something.
So… What Is Wire?
The easiest answer might be:
Wire is a social app where the Timeline is only the beginning.
