Here comes a social network revolving around the Internet of Things (IoT). Located in the US, prempoint is a new mobile app that claims to “help shape the next wave of computing (IoT) by bringing users together on ‘The Social Network for the Internet of Things’ in a way that’s simple, secure, and fun.”
According to its makers, the Internet certainly isn’t just for checking email anymore, and social networking was stretching far beyond socialising on something like Facebook. In fact, now common household items were becoming connected Online like security systems, televisions, and appliances, with more and more being added every day.
The South Florida-based new mobile app, prempoint, says it is aimed at shaping this next wave of computing in a way that secures access to your connected things with a “familiar, fun, and easy to use social interface.”
“This project has the potential to change the way people view social networking; viewing it as a tool for managing their connected things,” said Matthew Hartley, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Prempoint Inc. “Prempoint allows users to privately secure the people, places, and things in their world in a way that’s familiar and intuitive. We’re looking forward to working with beta users to see their thoughts and experiences with Prempoint so that when we launch publicly, we’ll exceed all expectations.”
Here are some examples put forth by the company on how Prempoint can be used:
1) Coordinate work with a technician giving them automated access to your home for a limited time period, while monitoring and chatting with them from afar using Prempoint’s social feed
2) Create public postings for things like yard sales or other local offerings
3) Create private events for things like music concerts or meetups where attendees can gain access to premium content
4) Chat using Prempoint’s social feed
