Sifter spins up instant, radius-based chat rooms so you can talk to the people right around you—no sign-ups, no strings attached.
In today's digital age, we're more connected than ever globally, yet increasingly disconnected from the people physically around us. Traditional social media platforms create echo chambers and virtual relationships, while local communities struggle to form meaningful connections.
Sifter introduces the concept of Geofenced Social Networking - a paradigm shift that uses precise location technology to create temporary, location-specific chat rooms. When you're at a coffee shop, concert, or local event, Sifter automatically connects you with others in the same space, enabling real-time, meaningful local interactions.
Using advanced GPS and geofencing algorithms, Sifter creates virtual chat bubbles with customizable radii (50-500 meters). These chat rooms exist only when people are physically present, ensuring authentic, location-relevant conversations. The technology automatically manages room creation, user joining/leaving, and content moderation based on real-world presence.
Advanced geofencing technology combined with intuitive social features creates a seamless local connection experience.
