Imagine a little café—Steveston Coffee Company. The kind of place where the barista knows your name and the coffee feels like a hug in a cup. You want to tell this story, but in a way that lasts.
On Waivio, your posts don’t just fade into blog archives. When you share a place like this, it gets its own dedicated page. Your story becomes part of the business’s story, where others can add their reviews, and your friends can easily discover it on the map in your profile.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Start Your Post
Begin writing your post. Click the Nearby button to find and add local businesses.
Step 2: Find the Café
Search for the café on the map and select it. If the café is already on the Hive blockchain, your post will join the story others have started. If it’s not yet available, it will be imported, and a new dedicated page will be created for it.
Step 3: Continue Writing the Post
The café is now linked in your post, and your story will appear on the café’s dedicated page alongside other reviews and details. It’s more than a mention—it’s part of a growing collection of shared experiences.
Step 4: Build the Story Together
Each business you share gets a dedicated page, featuring your post as a review. Others can add their own thoughts, turning your discovery into a growing collection of experiences.
Step 5: See It on Your Map
The café appears on your Waivio map, where friends can find it and explore your recommendations.
To add more businesses to the map in your profile, simply click the Add button and follow the same easy process.
This feature is now live on Waivio and all social shopping sites it powers. Start sharing your favorite places today and let your stories become part of something lasting!
