Why Facebook Can’t Actually Help Expand Your Social Network
Belongingness is a basic and hardwired emotional need, and we are constantly seeking out new activities and technologies that connect us with one another.
This creates a huge demand for social networking. Today, everyone from college students to professionals seek connection through online social platforms and traditional offline communications alike. While you can easily accumulate thousands of Facebook friends, these connections are often tenuous. While the average Facebook user has 130 “friends,” they only interact with about 3 to 4 of them on a regular basis.
On the other hand, traditional face-to-face social networking does lend itself to the formation of higher quality relationships, but there is a limit as to how many people you can connect with through these organic channels.
With our mobile app, Netaround, you can have the best of both worlds: quality real-world interactions with unlimited opportunities for meaningful connections.
Netaround is a social networking platform that provides a unique navigation-based networking function, connecting people instantly based on geographic proximity. Neta users can either create a Neta Zone that corresponds to a specific location, or join pre-existing Neta Zones nearby. Once a Neta Zone is created, it becomes a virtual platform that allows members to chat no matter where they are, growing their social networks one quality connection at a time.
