About Pearescope
Pearescope is a outward and progressive networking solution that allows members to introduce themselves privately and selectively to nearby mutual friends. This service provides social access through warm introductions. Pearescope users do not need to subscribe to another social network, rather, this service enables existing networks to come offline and into the real-world with a self-regulated balance of privacy and connectivity. How it works: Users set their "spotlight", the area in which they wish to be seen around their smartphone, and apply their social networks to that geographic area. Users may also define their "surface time", the duration in which they want to be actively networking with those nearby. ONLY when their spotlights and surface times of two users overlap, and both share a mutual connection, will Pearescope send an icebreaking text message to both members: "John, Jane is in your spotlight who also knows your friend Jon Smith." Why its different: Pearescope is check-in free and private. This service provides social access through mutual connections. Pearescope allows users to cherry-pick the most important and meaningful relationships from their second network through a demographic filter. Such filters include gender, school, and relationship status. Its patent pending technology only alerts members if both are within each other's spotlights. For example, if Jane sets her spotlight to 5 miles and Jon sets his to 500 feet, both would only be introduced if Jane was inside Jon's spotlight.
