User:Connexion.zone/sandbox

connexion.zone (/kəˈnɛkʃən zəʊn/) is an online business networking-oriented service that operates via websites and mobile apps. It is mainly used for professional networking amongst business owners and entrepreneurs

connexion.zone allows members to create profiles and "connexions" to each other in an online social network which may represent real-world professional relationships. Members can invite anyone (whether an existing member or not) to become a connexion.

connexion.zone allows users to create profiles, which typically consist of a brief description of their work experience, education and training, skills, and a personal photo. Users can find people and business opportunities recommended by someone in one's connexion network or zone. Users have the ability to follow different users, companies or listings on connexion.zone.

The site also enables members to make "connexions" to each other in an online social network, similar to real-world professional networking relationships. Members can invite anyone (whether a site member or not) to become a connexion. Even though connexion.zone makes use of a "gated-access approach" (where contact with any user requires either an existing relationship, or the intervention of a common connexion) to build trust among the service's users, users are automatically added to a local zone to encourage networking with other businesses on a local level.

Users can interact with each other in a variety of ways:


 * Connexions can interact by choosing to "rate" posts and "congratulate" others on updates or by direct messaging.
 * Users can share video with text and filters
 * Users can write posts and articles within the connexion.zone platform to share with their network.and zones
