Computer Support Blog

Using the Internet to network and increase your web of contacts in the professional world is hardly a new concept.  LinkedIn has been doing this for ages.  However, simply clicking a link to add another “connection” on your profile can be impersonal and even undermine the chance to make a true connection through networking in the first place.  This is why cool product Peer tries to add a more personal touch to online professional networking by incorporating video messaging and chats into the process.  Peer lets you make professional connections, leave video introductions and schedule video chats on your phone so you can make a real connection while networking rather than just a name on the screen.  The team at Peer believes this process can help facilitate stronger relationships through networking that will be more helpful than the typical ones made through social networking.  Currently, Peer uses LinkedIn to help users find others to connect with over their service.  If you do not have a LinkedIn profile and don’t know how to create one, you will need computer tech support to help you.

Peer allows users to search through professionals based on expertise and industry so they can find the right connections to make easily.  Peer users leave introductory video messages with others to attempt to start a networking or business conversation.  Since Peer is voluntary, other users on peer will be expecting others to try to connect with them, giving the service an advantage over an invasive practice such as cold calling.  This process also allows users to start discussing their reasons for reaching out to another professional immediately, so they can be more productive in creating meaningful business partnerships.  Peer also supports professional interest groups that you can join so you can easily start talking with other networking professionals interested in your field.

Peer is currently an iPhone and iPad exclusive application.  The company is currently working to expand this cool product to both Android devices and to desktop and laptop PCs in the near future.  For now, however, if you want help with Peer or need to trouble shoot, you will need to find iPhone support.
