Crowd Surfer

CrowdSurfer, created by Small Planet, is a Bluetooth implementation that allows people to connect with each other when they are within Bluetooth range. Using the software, you set up who you are looking for… friends, family, people with similar interests etc. and it will alert you when you are within range of these people.

It is built to run on Symbian Series 60 operating systems but will run on any phone that has J2ME Midp 2.0 and JSR-82 and of course Bluetooth. Much like other social networking products, its success will rely entirely on how many people use it. A demo on how it works can be found here.

Ipoki - GPS Based social networking

1. What is Ipoki?

Ipoki lets you share your current location with others in real-time. Also, you can see where your friends are and track them on Google Maps and Google Earth. Ipoki lets you keep track of your routes and use it to geolocate photos in flickr automatically. Invite your friends to see where you are and find and follow them across the world. Feel free to sign up. It’s free.

2. Do I need a GPS to use Ipoki?

No. You can use Ipoki just using the Web. Just sign in to update your current location in a easy way. But the most amazing feature of Ipoki is to share your location in real-time. To do that, you have to install in your mobile device the Ipoki Plugin. Go to Download page

3. How can I protect my privacy?

You have full control over your privacy settings to choose who sees where you are. You can choose between share your location with everybody, only with your friends or nobody (only you can see your location).

4. How much does it cost?

Everyone can use Ipoki for free. However, if you use the Ipoki Plugin in your mobile device, you might be charged by your service provider for the data used. Anyway, the amount of data transmitted by the plugin is very small.

5. How do I follow people?

You can start following another person by adding them as your friend. To add a friend, use Search to find your friend and click the ‘Add to friends’ link. If your friend is not yet on Ipoki, you can send them an email invitation by clicking ‘Invite your friends’.

6. How do I invite my friends to Ipoki?

You have to sign in to invite your friends. Click on ‘Invite your friends’ found on the right side of the screen. Enter the email addresses of the friends you would like to invite and they will be able to see you and share their location with you.

7. How do I delete my account?

You can delete your account of Ipoki at any time from Settings: Account.
