Follow on Google News | "Ping" - A Social Network That Keeps You SafeA social alerting system where users alert each other for nearby dangers or emergencies and request help when in need.
By: Ping X Inc. "My wife and I were already planning a trip to Paris when the attack occurred in 2015," said Ping CEO Drazen Zigic. "I started thinking about what I could do as a father and husband to protect my family in such situations. We first researched apps to see if there was something suitable available but we didn't find what we hoped for so we built our own." In its essence, Ping advances the concept of a connected society and social media with a real-time map of the surrounding area. Information is crowd-sourced via user posts called "pings" which use text as well as embedded pics or video to alert other people or just broadcast fun messages to your friends such as "who's around - let's meet for drinks!" When moving to a new area, users can easily look for recent or past Pings about the place or look up local restaurants or the nearest gas station. https://www.youtube.com/ Ping Features Include: • Instantly share information about nearby emergencies and dangers - or get alerted yourself • Request help if needed • Find locations of friends and family - and share your location with them • "Trusted Contact" feature lets you tag your most important people to hear from / alert • Automatically check in when arriving at destinations and let selected people know you're safe • Meet new people nearby or anywhere in the world and follow them • Send and receive direct messages • Filter map content • Get notified when someone creates a new ping • Create pings, accompanied with text, image or video • It's 100% FREE For more information and to download the app, visit - http://play.google.com/ Press Kit: https://drive.google.com/ About Ping X Inc: Ping X, the company behind the app, is a young startup based in Zurich, Switzerland and Los Angeles, It was founded in March 2017 by Ivana & Drazen Zigic and Stefan Serbedzija.
