Exploring Opportunities for Better Engagement Using Realtime Peer-to-Peer Mobile Applications

Exploring Opportunities for Better Engagement Using Realtime Peer-to-Peer Mobile Applications

Throughout the past few years, realtime peer-to-peer (RTP2P) apps were made for online chat (Blue Chat), gaming, file sharing (Bit Torrent) and social networking. Today, some emerging businesses have begun to explore app-powered peer-to-peer engagement.

peerRTP2P mobile apps bring people together. Your target audience can now play cross-OS games. They can share their contest-entry photos using iOS, Windows RT and Android devices. They can use cross-platform productivity tools to collaborate on projects, build community networks and, especially recently, help each other book a room or car service.

Here are the latest noteworthy examples of realtime peer-to-peer mobile apps…

iRide, an Inflexion Interactive client, provides access to car services throughout NYC. By using iRide, companies, individuals and car services access a realtime transportation network.

Uber is a similar realtime peer-to-peer app that’s made for transportation.

Airbnb is a recently re-imagined peer-to-peer mobile app. It’s an apartment rental network that connects guests and hosts. Within this mobile app is Groups, a new feature that brings hosts from the same city together to exchange tips, stories and best practices on the fly.

TaskRabbit is a realtime peer-to-peer mobile app that’s made for crossing off your to-do list items. It lets you quickly connect with helpful people near you. You ask for what you need, and someone responds to you. Just imagine outsourcing your crosstown errands for a day.

Tinder is a real-time peer-to-peer matchmaking app that provides anonymous opportunities to connect with users nearby. Some call this popular mobile app an assault on one’s self esteem. Others champion their ability to perform a sort of fast-paced dating ballet.
