Why BOOM ?
What is Boom Connections and why do you
need another social media app? In this hyper-connected digital world,
what does Boom offer that all the others don’t?
After all, your phone is already always
with you. Through it you are connected to the world, to your family and
friends. With apps like Facebook you can keep up with what friends from
school and what they are up to long after graduation day. And of course
you can let them all know what you are up to, keeping friendships intact
years beyond what once was possible. Yet, there is something, or
rather, someone missing.
That missing part of the social media
experience is your family, particularly those who are intimidated by the
crazy and confusing world of the interwebs. Usually, they’re the older
ones. You know, the mom, uncle or grandma that you just managed to talk
into getting a new phone. They’re probably just confused by the whole
process and the constant changes that Facebook is infamous for. Or they
wouldn’t post anything anyway.
Others are more concerned about
security. They don’t want their personal stuff stored in a server
somewhere that’s going to get hacked and sent who knows where. Then
there are the countless “friend” requests from people they’ve never met,
curated posts they don’t care about, and constantly changing privacy
rules they have to actively opt out of.
Let’s be fair, it isn’t hard to understand why they don’t bother.
Of course, then those same people
complain at every family gathering that you don’t call or keep in touch.
As a result, those connections have weakened over the years.
What is a millennial to do?
Boom Connections can help.
Boom Connections is a new social media
app that is designed specifically with all of these things in mind. Boom
accomplishes this through its unique Author and Follower system.
When downloading the Boom app you can
choose to be an Author or a Follower. The Author option lets you synch
your Facebook and Instagram accounts with Boom. You can then share posts
with your Followers by swiping right, or just dismiss the post by
swiping left. That way, you only share the posts you want to share,
perfect if you don’t think grandma should see that pic of you doing
shots last Friday, or you know, that Dad doesn’t really want to get into
politics without a cup of coffee in hand.
Followers are added just by sending an
email request. You may need to walk your tech-adverse friends and family
through the install process and setting up a profile but once that it
is done, all they really need to do is open up the app to see your
latest posts. They don’t get requests from strangers, they don’t have to
give up tons of personal information, and they don’t get spammed with a
ton of posts they aren’t going to be interested in. There is even a
private chat feature so you can connect through more than just a couple
of posts.
In short, Boom Connections is the
perfect solution to bringing your reluctant family and friends into the
digital world so you can keep in touch even when you are miles apart.
You can find Boom in the iTunes Apps Store or the Google Play Store.
