Spectrums app simplifies the sharing of information when travelling
When we travel today, there’s as much focus on sharing your experience with others than ever before. We love to get out there and discover new adventures, and quickly show and tell our friends and family back home. Well now that;s about to come a lot easier to do across the many varied social media platforms out there.
Toronto entrepreneur, Ashkan Kouchak, has just solved the problem we all have of remembering and sharing all of our social media handles. Spectrums, is a new app that simplifies connecting, improves opportunities for engagement and helps you promote and highlight your complete online presence all with a single SID number.
People have numerous social media accounts and online presences (email, phone # etc.) and its becoming difficult to share all of it in order to connect. Spectrums simplifies this process by just giving others your SID number which will automatically connect you with all of their social media channels, blogs, websites, phone number, email, Skype, WhatsApp, or WeChat contact information.
Spectrums is as easy as 1-2-3 to start using. First, you sign up to get your unique SpectrumID (SID). Once registered, you add all your social media accounts, blogs, websites and other contact information. Third, you share your world all in one place by sharing your unique SID anywhere you like. Let friends and followers find you, wherever you are online. Best of all, you are in complete control with the privacy option, where you can make any of your networks private and only visible to those you wish to share with.
Spectrums has had over 5,000+ downloads within the first week of launching it (September 6th) with users throughout North America, Europe and the Middle East. Ashkan says, “lots of influencers, celebrities and sports figures are jumping onboard,” and he anticipates having 50,000+ users by the end of October 2017.
Ashkan sees Spectrums growing exponentially in the near future as more and more social media apps come out. He also sees great interest in Spectrum from businesses that don’t want to waste valuable advertising real estate and add clutter with lots of social media icons.
Ashkan attributes Spectrums popularity to the ease of search of using the SIDs number. He illustrates you could search pages upon pages of Google or Facebook for a person (i.e. John Smith), and not find the correct person or the info you need about them. However, with Spectrums, you can find any friend, any celebrity, any brand easily and without worrying about copycat accounts all within a few seconds. Ashkan further explains, “Everything that defines us is built out of numbers. No matter where you are in the world, people know numbers and understand the value of it.”
Spectrums plans to add voice and video calling to the SIDs along with Augmented Reality technology for number, facial and object recognitions for real time interactivity and interactions. Spectrums is available for personal or business accounts.
