Here IM: Very popular SoLoMo LBS application (1)

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, I received an email from Xiong shangwen, CEO of "IM here" (hereinafter referred to as here): "There are more than 10 thousand users going online for 20 days ." This achievement is not very good for LBS applications that are widely used in the market, but as a venture capital said: "'Here 'is an LBS dating application that does not aim at getting girls!"

Yes, this is an LBS application that explores workplace contacts. We are all in a commercial society. The idea of networking as productivity has been recognized by more and more people. Therefore, even if you are busy at work, many people are still happy to attend various meetings, activities, and forums. The goal is to expand their network of contacts and find more business opportunities. BKJIA reporters have also attended mobile Internet salons. Every time they face the influx of male and female who do not know the road on the hundreds of people, they are dizzy! This is my first feeling. A Chinese-speaking Hong Kong man, Xiong shangwen, seems to have been plagued by this problem for a long time. Therefore, the LBS application on iOS and Android platforms is "IM here ". Last week, BKJIA reporter interviewed Xiong shangwen, CEO of "here". Let's get to know "here.

Discover professional contacts with LBS

In the past, people used to exchange paper business cards to obtain contact information for further exchanges and cooperation. As technology advances, "elastic social networking" has become popular in the United States, and users do not have close social relationships with other users, through elastic social networking products, you can make friends, entertainment activities, business exchanges, and other professional contacts. However, the biggest headache in "elastic social networking" is the lack of "people's information ". In crowded activities such as parties and forums, it is difficult for users to find people they are interested in. They may need to change 10 business cards to meet a person who is really interested. So there is an application to solve this problem-"You go to the venue and sign in. There are probably a number of people who are there, what they look like, and what they do ."

Xiong shangwen told reporters: "when we participate in activities, we lack the professional knowledge of people around us. We may waste our precious time in idle chats, how to maximize professional contacts is the main function of 'here." "Here" can help users find out who are around, and then they can choose to exchange business cards with those who are interested.
