Nick, you should have a look over at http://www.storexperience.com.
They are not in social networking, but mobile & local services that are HUGE!
Seems to be early stage for now but if they succeed… !

Cheers,
PH

Lots of privacy issues.

Lawrence is right, loopt has very poor traction.

Recently one of their key guys quit.

Nick,
Why does techrunch write so much about loopt. My understanding is that the have almost no subscribers on Sprint and the service is a failure. I also hear that paying subscibers on Boost are low. What gives with all this hype…feels like dodgeball all over again. Dont mean to be a hater, but there has got to be other wireless companies doing innovative things that are actually getting real users. I would love to hear about them! Thanks.

That’s right james. Helio runs on a different system. The Sprint reference was for Loopt, not Helio. I rephrased to clarify.

I don’t actually think Helio uses loopt. I am a subscriber of Helio and loopt is not the software we use for our “buddy beacon” application. Boost Mobile, owned by sprint however, does in fact use loopt. for a fee.

I think there is an opportunity for Loopt to partner with aa internet yellow pages provider.

It could help two texting friends find a location to meet while providing another revenue stream for Loopt.
