Rapid development in innovative apps and social network platforms, online media marketing and a continually increasing number of users are all part of the major growth factors for social media industry.

Findit, Inc. (OTC: FDIT) a Nevada Corporation which owns Findit.com rolled out several key features the past 2 weeks. The updates were done in the App and on Findit.com. The App is now available in the Apple® App Store and the Google Play Store. With the recent launch of the App, Findit has a list of features the team is developing that will improve its members experience that could result in an increase in their visibility and interactions on Findit, outside search engines that include Google, Yahoo and Bing - a Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) company - along with social and bookmarking sites that include Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), Google + and Twitter (NYSE: TWTR).

One of the new features to Findit Right Now App is the inclusion of members that are following you. Members on Findit can now see who is following them and who is following other members. People are use to seeing this feature on Twitter and in Facebook and Findit knew it had to add it to provide our members and visitors more ways to find each other and connect.  

Peter Tosto stated, "We always knew we needed to have this feature. But we accelerated the process when we saw a review in Google Play Store from a member who downloaded the App and was discouraged it was not available. The feature is now on the App and has been on the website. This ought to result in people spending more time on the App as people tend to click to see who is following who and then add them as followers as well."

Adding Followers into the navigation of the App now provides members the ability to click on Followers screen name and check out what they are posting. This will increase interactions between members. This feature is similar to users, like us, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, when the profiles are not set to private. Snap, Inc "Snapchat" (NASDAQ: SNAP) does not allow you to view who is following someone else. Findit believes that by having an open platform and allowing people to view and interact with one another easier, people can connect much quicker than on several other Apps. We do have blocking available if a member does not want to see someone's posts. The follower's addition will help to get members and non-members clicking around Findit and seeing more member content from the members' about page and scrolling through their Right Now feed. Overall we expect this to increase the amount of time visitors spend on Findit as they peruse Findit posts.
