Justin Parfitt Wants His Social Network HeyLets to Be About Experiences
Social networking often carries a stigma indicating that it limits people and prevents them from experiencing other aspects of life away from the computer. So much of social networking has to do with sharing content on the web and collecting digital imaginary benefits such as “likes” or “favorites” that it’s easy to see why some people feel this way. Cool person in technology Justin Parfitt believes that social networking doesn’t have to limit people from experiencing the “real world” but can, in fact, be a useful tool to open people to new experiences. Parfitt designed his social network HeyLets around the concept of providing people with the chance to discover new experiences they may enjoy while out of the house. Parfitt’s product doesn’t focus on one sort of experience or event exclusively, but instead allow users to share all types of places and activities they enjoy. HeyLets users simply post small status updates and photos as they would with other social networking sites, but also frame those updates with data that indicates where their experiences were located and how others can enjoy them too. Anyone who has issues connecting to HeyLets may want to seek online computer support for assistance.
All users of Parfitt’s mobile app and social network must fill out a detailed profile when joining. However, this profile is not just for personal branding as similar ones are on other social networking sites. HeyLets specifically uses a member’s profile and location in order to predict what sorts of experiences would appeal to them. HeyLets then takes posts from others sharing their experiences and recommends them to users to expose them to new activities and places based on the recipient’s information. Parfitt’s service works both as a way to see what friends are doing and to get ideas for new experiences someone might enjoy.
Users who experience issues downloading the mobile app version HeyLets should get help from a mobile PC support provider.
This cool person was a marketing executive early in his career before breaking off and becoming an entrepreneur. Parfitt’s first startup was FastLife International, which was a speed dating and singles social events company. He ran the company for eleven years before finally leaving in 2011. Parfitt’s foray into social networking and mobile technology with HeyLets began shortly after in 2012.
