Ron Orp launches the social network for the city
Ron Orp is building the urban network Popup with the help of the community. As a local complement to global networks like Facebook, Twitter, and others, Popup is intended to be a place where city kids can hang out and connect with one another.
Individuals, groups and companies are invited to present their personal profile to the city and communicate with it. Popup is available from Wednesday on Ronorp.net online.
Ron Orp has been inspiring more than 250,000 city kids in eight Swiss cities as well as in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Vienna with tips on going out, shopping and eating out for over ten years. Ron's latest prank is called Popup and is an urban city network. Whether you are an individual or a company, a gourmet temple or a snack stand, a designer boutique or a second-hand store, an artist collective making music or a soloist - anyone can create a profile on Popup and share what they do and who they are with the city, publish news and offers themselves or present projects and portfolios. As a social cockpit, the Popup profile, which is a mixture of profile and blog, navigates you safely through the city. Of course, the pop-up profile can also be linked to all other social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Soundcloud, Spotify or Linkedin. Those who publish good content can gain new followers and achieve fame and glory in the city, according to a press release.
Popup is constantly being developed further: A store module is already in the works that will enable direct sales from the pop-up profile - a new sales channel for all those who want to sell something to the Stadtkinder.
