Have you ever tried teaching an old dog new tricks? Or better yet, taught yourself? Here at Connect, we believe you're never too old (or young) to learn something new. We started this journey with the simple need to learn how to use a new lawnmower after we moved to a house with 80 acres. It's a lot of grass to cut (and we usually have a nice farmer come and make hay from it) but we couldn't get the mower to roll off the pallet the way the instructions described. We poured over videos on the internet and just couldn't find exactly what we needed. We finally found a 2 second snippet from a YouTube video where someone talked about how to turn off the break that might be engaged when the mower is in storage through the winter. We went back to the user manual, figured out the break, and finally had our answer after about 6 hours. We weren't satisfied though, and the idea of Connect took hold.
We started with the idea that Connect needs to be able to bring people together with common interests, but one of the people was new to the party. We didn't want to have to sort through forums, sign-up for newsletters, watch hours of videos, or read blogs. We wanted the ability to connect with someone who knew how to do the things we were trying to do and connect with the right person leveraging the digital tools we have available - machine learning, graph databases, the internet, and our phones.
There are obviously other reasons we think Connect ultimately will make it into your home screen. We developed Connect with the hope it would bring a positive spin to social media and put some humanity back into how we use our device. We hope you not only figure out what brought you to connect, but we also hope you meet someone, or, eventually, a group of someones just like you without all the red tape required by traditional hobby boards and social media that require you to know more than you do when you try something new or try to get better at what you love. You don't know what you don't know! Think stumbleupon (if you were born in the 80s-90s) but without the stumbling. Once you develop a connection, you can even keep connecting. Check out our Mission and Vision statements:
Vision
Become a premier social media app that is the face of positive effects social media can have on people. When people think about the best social media apps, we want Connect to be at the top of their list.
We believe Connect is a better way to create social interaction through media platforms. We designed it to be more efficient and effective at getting help on a topic at hand and to connect individuals faster and easier than ever before to discuss common interests and ponder questions together. Connect is providing the human need of social interaction. We are allowing our userbase to extend their socialization beyond just their world in front of them. We provide the opportunity to socialize over long distances with new friends who share common interests and are excited to share their passions with others. We are connecting cultures – shortening the distance of worlds that are thousands of miles apart. Bridging oceans, valleys, and mountains, we bring new friends’ smiles into your living room. We are providing individuals who feel isolated or alone the ability to reach out and find someone just like them – because even if in their immediate world they feel alone, we bring new worlds to them where they are no longer alone.
Mission Statement
Make the world a happier place by bringing people together in a positive way, connecting like-minded individuals with common interests.
So What is Connect Anyway?
Connect is a mobile application with a simple, user friendly interface seeking to bring people together over common interests using mobile app technology (text, voice call, video call). You can send out a text message, voice recording, or video recording to any other user available and online within the app. With an intelligent search bar, the user can type in an area (or field) of interest and once the message is created (via text, voice recording or video recording), the app will then send this recording out to other app users who have an interest in the same area (or field) of interest. The app will also ask the user to include a ‘skill level’ (or range of ‘skill levels’) they think the request is. This is useful to help ensure the connection provides the most value to both users mobile app with a simple, user friendly interface.
About Us
My husband Robert and I, Ashley live on a (to-be) solar and flower farm in a rural town of Virginia. We live here with Aurora, our toddler, and Jackson, our Dalmatian. We both have a bunch of degrees, time in service, and a couple letters after our name, but we stay humble by stretching ourselves beyond our comfort zone and continuously trying new things. Reach out to us with questions via the chat icon or e-mail us (connecttechnologyapp@gmail.com). This has been our non-human baby since 2019, and have finally been able to make it happen. We hope it helps us as it grows, and we hope it helps you too. We aren't on social media, but I heard it's important to have a presence, so we may make something soon.
