These days we have some great tools available to us to both network online from home and on the go. Foursquare and Facebook places allow us to check into locations so our connections know where we are and what we are up to while Facebook and Twitter give us the capability of sharing leading thoughts, ideas, events, and stories with our fellow networkers. Wouldn't it be cool if we could genuinely network with new connections when you are out and about? Sonar, a new iPhone app has made this a realizable solution.
Sonar launched in May of 2011 and since its inaugurate has proved an sufficient and enormously useful tool to networkers. It works by pulling your own palpate information as well as your friends palpate information from the group networks you are a member of (such as Foursquare, Facebook, and Twitter) and lets you know about inherent connections in your area. For instance if you are at a party, meeting, bar, or restaurant, your networking scope just got a whole lot larger.
Facebook App
The Sonar app works for you either or not other users are utilizing it. However, one drawback is that in order for you to accurately see who is in any given area, habitancy have to check in using Facebook Places or Foursquare. Unfortunately, this can mean the tool is kind of miniature right now being as only about 17% of movable users currently use check in services. Sonar is working on enhancing this any way by adding implicit check ins, such as when habitancy accept an invite from Eventbrite. The creators of Sonar also hope to one day increase the check in capability to consist of geotagged tweets, Instagram photos and foodspotting images.
Sonar has not forgotten about the enterprise end of networking either. They plan on ultimately allowing a enterprise that be hosting a conference to pay to have its executives and employees moved to the top of user's "most relevant" lists to promote more incoming networking invites from relevant contacts. This is similar to the dating sites use of promoted visibility and of Twitter's promoted tweet options. However, Sonar will only allow the enterprise to promote people, not the enterprise or brand.
Currently Sonar is only available free for iPhones, any way soon adequate it will be released and available to Android users as well. A Foursquare inventory is required to make use of Sonar and with the planned deployment to Android users, soon everybody will be able to enjoy this unique and useful tool!
As the developer stated, "Sonar lets you take your online identity offline and meet real habitancy in real time." dream being able to make more relevant connections and build more friendships and meaningful relationships than ever before! I bet you never knew that the guy sitting across from you is your boss's brother. Sonar has truly taken group networking to the next level.
