Tal Canal is a Portuguese social networking site with an emphasis on sharing and discussing content within communities. Users can share content, such as links, text, images, and videos, in user-created communities called "canais" (Portuguese for channels), which are centered on a particular topic. Users can then comment and vote on the content to discuss it. The use and features of site are similar to those of Reddit.[1][2]

In addition to the communities there are other features, such as games, a news aggregator, chat rooms, and a chatbot.

History

Tal Canal was created by Tânia Carvalho, a designer, and André Santos, a programmer, who together form the company "Icónica – Digital Design".[1][2][3] The social network was initially conceived in August 2021 and launched in April 2022.[2][4]

The name of the social network was inspired by the Portuguese television programme "O Tal Canal", created by Herman José and broadcast by RTP.[4][1]

Overview

Canais

The site focuses on "canais", communities on various topics such as films, TV series, music, art, video games, technology, photography, among others, where users share and discuss content. Users can choose which "canais" they want to follow, and therefore the type of content they want to see. Users can also create and moderate their own "canais".[4][1][2][3]

Published content can be commented on and also voted on by users. There are positive votes and negative votes, and the balance of the votes is called "carma". A user with a negative "carma" may have their posts and comments rejected, depending on the community.[4][1]

Among the various "canais", the one with the highest levels of user interaction is the "Pergunta-me tudo" (Portuguese for Ask me everything) community. On this community, users post questions that are answered by a guest. Guests who have taken part include illusionist Luís de Matos and Portuguese mathematician Inês Guimarães, also known as MathGurl.[4][2]

Other features

In addition to the "canais", there is also:
