So, are they still beta testing? I'm assuming you're speaking from experience, but I'm sure there will be plenty of those across the following platforms in the near future;

Decent - https://decent.ch
Adbuzz - https://adzbuzz.com/category/adbuzz
Coinsyde - http://coinsy.de
Respectonomy - https://respectonomy.com
Popchest - https://popchest.com
Busy - https://busy.org
Neverdie - https://neverdie.com
Synereo - http://www.synereo.com
LBRY - https://lbry.io
Akasha - https://akasha.world

But, that's not my cup of tea. ;-)

I do really hope they are beta testing, because in the end they want to do more than just a social platform like steemit. They want to create all kind of content platforms, for video, music, lyrics, novel with perfekt DRM. That's very ambitious and needs a lot of work. Icorating.com has them listed as risky+ right now. They have a great ideo, but no working product or a team that is well known etc. LBRY and Akasha could be great too. Akasha has some kind of beta ongoing on a testnet, but has at least something, you know what i mean? This is 2017 not 2013, you can't sell me ideas, i need more than that! Here is a small list from me to you ;) :

  • DENT
  • Blocktix
  • presearch
  • saltlending
  • propy
  • distric0x
  • Aragon
  • kin
  • civic
  • trueflip

Some of them are just ideas too, but some of them have really reputable people and working beta software behind it.

I believe we differ in how we quantify what an idea is, but DECENT has gone way beyond the idea stage in my eyes, but I always say that everyone see's the world through different eyes based upon what they do know, and what they don't know.

Thanks for the list and there are so many of these start-ups popping up everywhere, it's hard to keep up with them all, but I'll look into those later.

Before I sign off, we left a crucial company of the list: https://maidsafe.net

Now, don't tell me you think this one is still at the idea stage Merge? ;-D

Haha i do have Maidsafe coins ;)
I have known them for a while now. What i am essentially trying to say is that you need to look out for yourself. Don't buy into the hype unless you have really goooood reasons and don't hype anything until there is something substantial to hype. Here is another small tip from me:

This guy can teach you a lot and he invests the smart way. Enjoy.

Good man Merge and you can also get DECENT currency now too! I'll look into it, thanks fella. ;-)

No problem, always sharing.

Always caring! :-D
