I am co-founder of Rime. Rime is a social content aggregator, it pull together users social contents shared on multiple platforms to one place. Here is an example of user profile https://rime.co/@girish We believe that everyone is an artist and internet is a platform which allows users (brands/individuals) to showcase their creation through various apps. Rime helps users to sync all of their content in one unified timeline. Which will help their friends and followers to get every singel update. It’s also an initiative towards supporting openweb and content sharing networks to give utmost reach to the contents, creators (authors) and providers (platforms).

You can also use rime as a tool to create profiles of others. Rime users can create anybody’s guest profile (If they are not in Rime), by connecting social media accounts of people whom they want to follow. For example https://rime.co/@google . It is like Wikipedia for social networks which will be moderated by the community.

Currently, people are not actively using platforms like vine, Flickr, tumblr etc, since they don’t get proper visibility for contents. Every time they need to share content explicitly to facebook to get the visibility that’s a cumbersome process and time consuming. Rime is a disruptive Idea which can encourage people to use various content creation platform since we can bring those content under one profile and enhance the visibility.

We are trying to make true open web platform to the internet. Where content reach can not be controlled by anyone. Whatever people are sharing will reach to the followers.

Isn't rebranding content against the ToS of most of the APIs for the 3rd parties you're aggregating?

Most of this site is extremely disingenuous.

eg: https://rime.co/@WarrenBuffett

"Created October 2015"

He's listed under "Featured Users"

You're apparently taking his profile image from Twitter, while also making it seem like he's a user of the site.

You're direct linking to his profile image here:

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/3599636117/8468a03db84e...

And then manipulating the look of it. That's most likely against Twitter's terms of service.

I get what you're trying to fake in doing all of that, including how careful you were to frame it in terms of wording and appearance. It comes across as slimy.

So, is there any verification of this, at all?

I left with the same feelings. I clicked on "This is a guest user" expecting some sort of explanation about guest users, but instead I get redirected to some strange page with different branding. http://imgur.com/fiLeSBk

Very unclear as to what I'm supposed to do here so I left the page.
