this app will change the way you meet people and stay connected
San Francisco, California (PRWEB) January 21, 2010
Today on Twitter, Spacemonkey Mike announced the general availability of Contact Hero -- the fastest way to exchange contact and social information on the market. Sporting a world class user interface, Contact Hero has a streamlined input process with the ability to immediately follow up with anything from Linkedn profile to Twitter and Myspace via SMS and email - reducing the barrier of engagement from days to seconds. Additionally, Contact Hero allows user to browse new friends including their meeting time and Facebook profiles.
Contact Hero was designed with the needs of social butterflies and business networkers in mind. The age of social media requires new social exchange tools that goes beyond business cards and phone numbers. The main highlight of Contact Hero is its ability to facilitate fast exchange of social information including phone numbers and emails. By trading social graphs, users can access public profile information about their new friends, such as who they are, what they do, who they know, in addition to sending friend requests. As more face to face contacts are replaced by online interactions, the need for fast and reliable social exchange tools becomes more significant.
Contact Hero is a user experience solution for an everyday problem. There are many contact exchange applications on the market today but most do not work the ways users expect. Common WiFi solutions require users to have the same phone, application, and be logged in to the same WiFi network, which is arbitrary and limiting at best. Other solutions rely on Bluetooth which faces similar constraints. By utilizing SMS and email, Contact Hero is universal and works with any recipient phone. It achieves its speed and efficiency by automating 50% of the exchange activity while streamlining the other half down to seconds.
Highlights / Key Facts
More face to face contacts are replaced by online interactions - as more relationships are built and maintained online, the need to bridge the two types of networks become increasingly necessary. We need an efficient social information exchange protocol.
Exchange contacts universally - the majority of the contact exchange solutions are technology centric or offers low compatibility. Technology should facilitate rather than restrict user interactions. Users should not have to determine what technology the other person has before selecting which exchange protocol to use. sadly, email and sms are the only open protocal between phone.
Call backs are the number 1 barrier to making a connection - studies indicate the most difficult aspect of establishing connection is the initial follow up. This task might be challanging because it is sometimes hard to remember the name and circumstances of which you met. It can also be tedious when there are a large number of contacts to locate and process, for example after the bars or after a professional conference.
Full privacy control - Contact Hero includes a fully customizable follow up template which allows user to include as much or as little about themselves as possible. Any links included can be easily opened from any internet capable phones.
