Peer Is An App That Brings Networking To The 21st Century
Some words to live by: your network is the most important thing you have. Today, when everything and everyone is all about startups, connecting, and making the world a better place, we can really see the truth behind those words. There has never been a better time than now to think about how many people you really have in your network, and how much can they help you grow both on a personal and a business level.
Your network of people can help you find better job opportunities, pitch ideas better to investors and overall have a great time after work, and all of those things are very valuable. It’s also really impressive that no matter how much the world advances, it’s still the human interaction that drives us forward. Still, there’s a lot that can be done with the help of technology to turn networking into something better. That’s where Peer2.ME comes into play, an app that lets you meet professionals and chat with them face to face.
Networking is something that has been around since the dawn of time but interestingly has only come into its own as a “real thing” recently. Sure, there’ve always been groups of friends and colleagues that worked better as a group but they weren’t called a network in the 17th century.
What we’re trying to say is that a network and networking is hard-coded into our DNA, and we have a very hard time working without other people. Of course, there are exceptions but nevertheless, we’re feeling much better when we’re around familiar people.
A Friend In Need…
Those familiar people can be people from all around the world, people you meet at cool conferences or just some guys that happen to share a coworking space with you. You interact with all of them often, and when you have an idea that needs a developer to shine, you’ll definitely ask someone from your network if he or she can help, or at least whether they know someone that could.
The premise behind Peer2.ME is that you don’t need anything more than this app to communicate and network. There’s an abundance of situations that could see us benefit greatly by having an app that we could use to communicate with an expert in a certain field, and using this app you can get advice, meet new and interesting people, and spread your knowledge to others, too.
The app works seamlessly with LinkedIn, allowing you to find people you want to speak to and take the conversation to the app, where you can communicate live and share ideas, advice, and experiences. This truly is the app that brings networking into this century, by helping you meet experts that you might never get to meet, and allowing you to talk to them about work, and anything else you might think of.
Anything You Need, Peer’s Got It
The best thing about this app is the search feature.
Let’s say you’re programming an iOS app on your holiday and you’re stuck at something, and you know nobody that could give you a hand with it because none of your network members are programmers. Even though that might be an issue, you fire up the Peer app and search for an iOS programmer right there. Given the selection of professionals, you simply pick one and have a conversation about your issues. Once it’s done, you now have a resolved problem and can continue with your work, and now you know a person that is an iOS developer who can help you once you get stuck again! This is how networking works in the 21st century, and apps like Peer really do help people resolve problems and get to know other professionals quicker.
So what are you waiting for? Fire up that phone, download the app and go and meet interesting professionals from all sorts of different fields of work. You’ll thank us later. 🙂
