Location Based Chat Instant messaging programs connect people across the internet. Newer programs like RadiusIM and Meetro, connect people by their real-world location. RadiusIM is an AJAX application, while Meetro is a downloadable client. Both allow you to fill out your location and profile as a way to meet new people in your area, or even another country. Unlike the other developments in chat, location based IM hasn’t seen heavy adoption on other platforms, which continue to connect people based on a user generated buddy list. [...] [...] 3.

And all that proximity thing is crap, never really took off. Except for the people who created it and boasting they invented the internet. I guess they have all the legal crap too. Cant afford to pay rent, but can pay the lawer. Well, Im writing this because I have nothing else to do. Maybe Ill make some tea to keep me occupied. Have Fun !

I just found out that they have emailed everyone in my hotmail account saying that I had invited them to join Meetro - i would never ever do this. I imagine this little evil viral effort is explained in the small print of their terms and conditions. This is shows really poor taste and is a malicious attempt to get viral. All join my viral campaign “EVIL MEETRO SUCKS CAMPAIGN!!!! Just tried Meetro – this company really sucks.

The only distracting incongruence were the guys from Meetro. The Meetro product looks like a fun, interesting and useful tool. But they came in promoting, promoting, promoting while everyone else was there to learn and get work done. I suggest they find out what an event is about and see how to make their product fits into that environment.
