How tech connects us (outside of Facebook)
From humble beginnings, Facebook has grown into a virtual behemoth boasting an excess of 2 billion regular users. I would be willing to bet that almost everybody reading this has used Facebook, if it’s not currently open in another tab! It’s a great resource for catching up with family while you travel the world. The capacity for connection is self-evident and in 2019 many people even get all their news from Facebook! Just like solid cannot exist without space, we’re left to ponder the question: how does technology connect us outside of Facebook and other leading social media platforms?
A feeling of personal connection can lead to the mutual understanding that we all crave. This connection is crucial to us, but it only represents one slice of the proverbial pie. Gamers can connect using the Discord platform. Dating applications like Tinder connect those looking for love and ridesharing apps help people to travel together on a budget. Although these apps cater for a particular niche, these examples are still targeting a wide range of users as finding a romantic partner or a cheap ride is a natural human desire. The same can be said for gamers as the gaming industry has never been so popular.
What if we narrow our lens to focus on professional connections for developing industries? These large networks become much less useful, particularly when it comes to expanding your network locally. Trying to find specific professional connections on Facebook can feel like trying to find a polar bear in the midst of a raging snowstorm. Why, you may ask? Although groups that cater for these interests exist on Facebook, the magnitude of the platform and lack of administration means that groups become cluttered with spam, scams and speculation. Simply put, it isn’t aimed at professionals. This difference becomes more painfully obvious when you are trying to find a professional connection in the Blockchain space within a set distance of your location.
What makes Minglechain unique is our desire to simplify finding professional connections in the Blockchain/DLT industry. Take the example of a developer at a conference who is looking for a potential employer. The developer can download the free Minglechain app on Android or iOS and immediately create a profile to make himself visible to recruiters. Our vision for the future is to incorporate Company Profiles into the app so businesses can the right fit from the wide range of options available. This ability to filter a search not only by specialized sector but also by distance means you can find people closeby. Minglechain promotes professional connections in the Blockchain industry at a grass-roots level. When you travel to another city or country, you can also find contacts quickly even if you are only there for a short business trip.
You can read more and download the mobile app on the official site to see the full range of available connections!
