PrimeHangout.com Looks to Use Social Media to 'Reduce Unemployment'.

PrimeHangout.com, a subsidiary of ClinicTools, introduced the next generation of social media.

"The primary focus here is on using a social network to reduce unemployment," said the founder and CEO, Henry I. Balogun. "Repositioning a social network can turn it into a powerful tool designed to strengthen commerce, thereby cut unemployment. The time to use social networks to our advantage is now." PrimeHangout, according to Henry Balogun, has created the first real Internet Mall, known as PrimeHangout Mall, where individuals or existing retail outlets and businesses can open stores and sell to their friends, contacts, customers and other users of PrimeHangout. "We cannot solve our current economic problems without employing a creative approach, and this is exactly what PrimeHangout is doing," said Balogun.

"We have the means to help everyone find friends, connect, and chat," said Balogun. "What we need is to take those connections to a new height. When you open a store and are ready to sell products of interest to you, there is no doubt your life would be affected positively and perhaps will never have to file for unemployment. Not only that, manufacturers of those products would be able to hire more workers! Shipping and delivery companies also would see the need to hire more workers. The President cannot do it alone. We all need to contribute."

Although the primary goal is to help people stay connected regardless of time and distance, PrimeHangout said it is willing to expand that platform to include everyone across the spectrum.

"We are not saying that our idea is better. It is not the only answer to this economic gloom and doom, but a way to assist the President in his effort to reduce the ever-increasing unemployment numbers. A problem of this magnitude requires contributions from everywhere," said Balogun.

"The idea of an Internet Mall within a social network is an idea whose time has come and we intend to open this to the general public the week of July 4, at primehangout.com."

PrimeHangout allows users to communicate via video.
