Intro is now available for all major smartphone platforms.
With over 65,000 downloads to date, Intro is gaining momentum and we’re excited to offer it to the Windows community. Our free Intro app is now available to download on iOS, Android, Windows and Apple Watch devices.
Intro converts your about.me page into a digital business card that’s easily shareable with your new contacts. Intro is a highly visual tool, with an elegant design that allows you to make a great impression on people you meet.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce that our Intro app is now available for Android! Following the great reception we received for Intro for iOS, we saw tremendous demand for an Android version and now we’re ready to deliver. With over 80% of the market using Android, we’re excited to bring Intro to even more people across the globe.
Intro for Android gives you the same access to all of the Intro for iOS features, but optimized for the Android platform. Jordan Dodds, our Product Manager at about.me, adds that, “Instead of simply pushing out an identical app, we redesigned Intro for Android to optimize all the functionality of Android and Google’s material design.”
Apple Watches are beginning to arrive on doorsteps today and we’re excited to announce the release of Intro for Apple Watch. Sharing your contact information and networking with others is now easier than ever.
Intro turns your about.me page into a shareable digital business card. With Intro for Apple Watch, you can exchange information on the go, instantly from anywhere, saving time and helping you leave a lasting impression.
In last week’s tips post, we talked about sending an Intro and just how easy it is to do. It’s so easy we’re betting you’ll be able to send one even faster than you can find and hand out your physical business cards.
But now that you’ve sent an Intro, what do you do next? Well, with the contact information of your new acquaintance saved in the app, you’ll want to take some action to keep in touch, learn more about your new friend, and avoid suffering from “business card amnesia“. To see that information, just open the menu and choose the “My Shares” section. There you’ll see all the people to whom you’ve sent Intros, along with the dates you sent them and the city from where they were sent.
In the past we’ve given you tips on writing your bio for Intro, adding a photo to your page for Intro, and controlling what you share with Intro. In general, we’ve prepped you for sending an impressive Intro. But have you actually sent one yet?
If not, you probably met someone new over the holidays or will be meeting new people very soon with the hustle and bustle of the new year, so now is a great time to start sending Intros. Plus, it’s simple to do and takes only a few seconds. Here’s how it’s done.
With a new year comes a chance to restart.
You have the opportunity to do things that maybe you didn’t make time for last year. This could include setting new goals, meeting new people, or sharing your story.
Revamping your about.me page is just one simple way to kick the year off with style and better show who you are, where you’re going and who you want to be.
Here are five ways to jumpstart the new year.
In many of our previous tips posts, we’ve talked about why you should have a picture of yourself as the Background Photo of your about.me page. Now, with Intro app, there’s a brand new reason to have your face on your page. But first, here’s a brief refresher of the top 3 reasons we’ve cited in the past.
1) A picture on your page allows you to put your best foot forward and show the world who you are both personally and professionally.
2) People are more likely to click on your page if they see a picture of a person (as opposed to a landscape shot) while browsing about.me.
3) Your page looks its best and is more likely to be Featured or chosen for Staff Picks or Follow Friday (#FFaboutme).
It’s been almost two months since we released Intro for iOS, and are excitedly working on a version for Android. Yet there are still a couple of things you might not know about our digital business card app.
1) You don’t need an about.me page to download Intro
If you already have a page when you download the app, that’s great just click the blue “Log In with about.me” button to sign in and start sending intros. But if you or a friend forget your business cards, never fear; you can still download the app and start sending intros in minutes. Just click the “Sign Up with Facebook” button and you’ll instantly have a page created from your Facebook profile. And that’s it, you’re ready to start sending intros!
