WhoSay is an American social media service and branding platform for celebrities and their fans. Founded in Los Angeles in 2010, with financing by Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Amazon.com and other investors, it is notable for allowing its users to retain ownership rights over the content that they post to their accounts, through copyright branding,[1][4] and for enabling users to post content to other social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr simultaneously.[4] WhoSay describes itself as a "social celebrity magazine" whose editorial team keeps its users informed about the latest celebrity and entertainment news.[5]
Clients such as Dylan McDermott[6] and Chris Rock lauded the service for its ability to add content to multiple social network sites easily. Rock in particular has commented on its ease of use for those who are not part of a tech-savvy demographic, commenting, "It's perfect for someone that's not 25."[4]
WhoSay's competitors include theAudience, which is operated by the William Morris Endeavor.[6]
