It seems that the online forums and chat rooms where people could meet, anonymously or otherwise, to discuss like interests are not nearly as popular as they once were.  It is nonetheless undoubtedly true that people still want to have conversations based upon like interests and seek places online to do so.  However, it can be difficult to meet new people on existing networks, especially for the types of discussions people would often like to have, without the disruptions, distractions, and outside influences social media brings.  This is where Meeps comes in.  It is a mobile app that allows people to chat with others around the world and connect through shared interests.

While the market for conversations is crowded, Meeps creates a social experience in a natural way by connecting people of specific interests but lets you discuss shifting topics within your group.  This can be beneficial in many areas, not simply for mere socialization.  For instance, one may research a particular item online and believe he or she has found the perfect one only to speak to someone more experienced and discover a better one that he or she never found online.  In any case, talking to the right person at the right time can be extremely useful for either finding information or discovering something new.  Meeps features mobile tech support for any Android or iOS-enabled mobile devices.

The app looks similar to many apps, with a simple interface and easy user controls, but it combines visually striking photo with text to provide appealing visual representation to groups.  Often, this can serve to drive conversation as much as the words themselves.  The main aspect of Meeps’ service is allowing users to publicly share their interests and start having conversations with people who share similar interests.  Rather than simply “liking” random pages that can become disorganized and produce so many feeds on a page that you cannot keep track of them, it keeps conversations together amongst smaller groups.  Meeps is free and requires only the same Internet security precautions you would use when downloading any app.

Meeps is unique to social media giants like Twitter and Facebook in offering less distraction and no ads while letting you join in on conversations as they happen rather than joining a group.  Users control how much influence others have amongst their own contacts, and there is nothing to focus on but the discussion at hand.  These can change, however, and discussions are as long or short-lived as people want them to be.  This can create a different dynamic and change the shift of conversations away from who you know and more toward what is happening in your world.  This seems like a refreshing change from the clutter and chaos of online chat and much of social media, and could be a great benefit to many people seeking more meaningful discussion.
