The New Face of Social Networking
Today, we increasingly conduct our social lives through screens, with the help of two very different types of social networks.
There are the ones that connect us with our loved ones, and the ones that open us up to a world of complete strangers -- potential friends, lovers...and one-night stands. The first type -- accessed through apps like WeChat and WhatsApp -- provides a simple way to communicate and stay in touch with the people we care about, IRL. But that’s about all they do.
At the other end of the spectrum you’ll find apps that connect strangers -- from Tinder to Bumble to Hinge, you’d be hard pressed to find a millennial who hasn’t dabbled in this world. These apps allow people to engage in instant conversation with a large network of strangers, but often the relationships that result are tragically short-lived. The missing ingredient? Common ground. Without a strong initial connection, friendship (or romance) will never flourish.
When it comes to expanding beyond your existing circles, you’ll have to dig deeper. It’s no secret that we get along best with those we share common interests with, but how do we actually connect with like-minded peers? It all comes back to common ground. No, actual common ground. The ground you’re standing on right now.
NetAround connects you with the people around you, instantaneously. This revolutionary social model removes the barrier of your iphone screen, using geographic proximity to help you meet the people in your immediate vicinity, in real time.
Enter: the Consequential Strangers Social Network.
The Consequential Strangers Social Network allows you to form connections with the people around you, ultimately resulting in long-term friendships and serious #squadgoals. When you join this network, you’ll find yourself instantly connected with people who share your interests, goals, hopes, dreams, and even fears (although, try to keep those in check when you first meet, k?).
Our mobile app, NetAround, is the essential platform by which “Consequential Strangers” can become inseparable BFFs or future business partners. “Neta Zones” based on geographical proximity can be created or joined with a few easy steps, so that you can begin making crucial connections instantly. The best part? You’ll have enough in common with these consequential strangers before meeting up that you’ll never have to suffer through an awkward first interaction.
Finally: an app that brings online social networks into the real world.
