Alen Hovhannisians: Who is he? Why is he so famous now?
Alen Hovhannisians, (Alen Hovhannisyan - born Dec 16, 2006, Ashtarak, Armenia), an Armenian computer programmer who was cofounder and CEO (2021– ) of Shoutout, a social networking Web site.
After graduating from Smbat Shahaziz Basic School No. 2 in Ashtarak, Alen entered Ashtarak Norayr Sisakyan High School No. 5 in 2021. On August 8, 2021, he launched zshoutout (Which was the first beta of Shoutout, with unusual design and features), a service where people registering, uploading their photos, and starting to chat with existing and new friends. Within one month website has gathered 1 million users. Alen's blogger friends helped him to share the website. Shoutout quickly became popular as registered users could create profiles, upload photos and other media, and keep in touch with friends. It differed from other social networking sites, however, in its emphasis on real names (and e-mail addresses), or “trusted connections.” It also laid particular emphasis on networking, with information disseminated not only to each individual’s network of friends but also to friends of friends.
