What is GeoPic?
GeoPic is a new social media experience app that combines the fun of photos and chat with real world connections and allows Users to engage in shared experiences in public or private locations. GeoPic allows Users to post photos and videos by location. When posting to Public Locations all photos and videos captured at that location will be viewable to all Users. For Private Locations posts are only visible to those Users who are invited by the location creator.
Why did you create GeoPic?
There seemed to be a real need to connect the physical world with social media in a way that could enhance the experience of a shared event or activity. We have attempted with GeoPic to ground the social media experience with real world connections. So now a concert or sporting event can be shared and experienced from the perspective of all attending. The friend and chat features create opportunities to connect during or after this shared experience.
For the casual User of GeoPic they can experience the world through someone else’s eyes with the goal to entertain, inform and build a bridge of understanding between all people. It is a lofty goal but perhaps we may all come to realize we have much more in common than what divides us.
