4 Apps to Chat, Work and Network like a pro.

Here are 4 apps that may help you to chat and create a network while you are at work as a Pro.

1. KIK Messenger. 

Kik Messenger, commonly called Kik, is a freeware instant messaging mobile app from the Canadian company Kik Interactive, available free of charge on iOS and Android operating systems. It uses a smartphone's data plan or Wi-Fi to transmit and receive messages, photos, videos, sketches, mobile web pages, and other content after users register a username. Kik is known for its features preserving users' anonymity, such as allowing users to register without providing a telephone number. Many messaging apps require you to give your phone number to those who you chat with, but Kik requires only a username. And a bot store already boasting more than 6,000 bots, Kik beats Facebook and Skype in the field of artificial conversationalists. For IOS click here.

2. Cloze (For iPhone)

The iPhone app Cloze collects tweets, emails, Facebook posts, and other bits of communication from your contacts and prioritizes them based on people who are most relevant to you. It's a wonderful tool for getting relevant information about people in your network, although the Web version is more intuitive than the mobile app.

3. Mention

Mention is a social media and web monitoring tool. The media monitoring tool provides real-time alerts for a company's keyword and allows users to monitor millions of sources in real-time and in 42 languages. Mention can be accessed from a mobile app or the web-based app. For IOS click here.

4. Twitter Periscope

Periscope is an American live video streaming app for Android and iOS developed by Kayvon Beykpour and Joe Bernstein and acquired by Twitter before its launch in 2015. For IOS click here. Users of Periscope can choose whether or not to make their video public or simply viewable to certain users such as their friends or families. Although the "scoper", so-called, usually simply uses a handheld device such as a smartphone to broadcast, it is also possible to broadcast through Periscope using a professional vision mixing suites such as Wirecast or Teradek using Periscope Pro.

Periscope allows viewers to send "hearts" to the broadcaster by tapping on the mobile screen as a form of appreciation. The maximum number of users that a user can follow is 8,000. Both the "scoper" and viewers of the so-called "scope" can block viewers. When blocked by the "scoper", users are added to a blocked list and booted from the "scope". If enough "scopers" block a user, they are blocked from the "scope". If they receive more than four blocks from four different "scopes" then the user gets shadowbanned.
