The rapper Chamillionaire has developed a new social platform called Convoz, that's virtually connecting people who share similar interests.
While the Internet serves as an effective tool for finding like-minded people, making face-to-face contact can be a difficult transition. To combat this, Convoz offers a place where real people can meet via video chat, presenting individuals with a safe, but more meaningful method of communication. The free app lets people upload a 15-second video, directed at other users. Users can receive who to respond to, and who to ignore. According to Chamillionaire, Convoz helps foster a deeper sense of connection between strangers, as he believes social media can often distance or isolate people.
