Breaking new barriers

In today’s dynamic world, the importance of social media networks is immense. Various sectors have begun employing social media tools to catch up with competitors in marketing and advertising ploys.
Social media helps connect people and its presence has changed the nature of interactions in the corporate world. Apart from Facebook and Twitter, many general sites for professionals have been established to allow a broader networking experience. Some websites target those looking for jobs, while others are geared for health care professionals.
Neuros, a unique social network platform for medical science, has been launched worldwide. This specialized network platform is different from other social components. It offers an integrated study center, allowing its users the ability to connect socially and intellectually.
The study center offers clinical information and pictures, useful to both doctors and students.
The founder of this site, Waiz Wasey said: “We visualize this social platform will strengthen the bond of medical professionals and enable users to connect, learn and contribute smarter.”
He added that apart from the user generated content, the Neuros team produces quality content that includes answers, interactive study aids, illustrations and mnemonic charts.
Neuros offers a question bank for competitive exams like SLE for the Kingdom’s professionals, which is a bonus for all those who wish to practice here. “It’s an open platform for all Saudi medical students to connect smartly with doctors and students around the world, get advice, learn from them, as well as to share their experiences and medical knowledge,” Waiz added.
In addition to the above features, Neuros will soon be launching a mobile application and question bank for easier access. “We have many more plans for Neuros. We are trying to collaborate and coordinate with the best medical professionals around the world,” Waiz said. “We want to go global. Our mission is to be well known and establish the best qualified medical hub, where on one platform all medical knowledge can be accurately provided at the click of a button with no cost,” he added.
Similarly several companies have begun using social media as a recruitment tool and to communicate with their customers. These websites enable professionals looking for jobs to connect with potential recruiters, while other sites have been established for entrepreneurs to find funders who can finance their new business or expand current projects.
Tomohat is one such site which allows both entrepreneurs and investors to register for a new account, free of charge, which thereby enables entrepreneurs to present their business ideas as well as investors to present their fund capabilities.
Mahmoud Nasr, CEO and co-founder of Tomohat, said: “Investors navigate through all the registered projects and if they are interested in any of them, they can simply contact the entrepreneur and ask for a meeting to acquired the necessary information. This helps both sides fill in the gaps of trust and initiate the business fund.”

He added Tomohat helps entrepreneurs to start or grow their businesses in their countries and transform their dreams into reality.

Tomohat works to find some kind of communication between the owners’ existing or emerging business and individuals, as well as businesses companies and banks who are interested in funding small and medium projects in all areas.
