If you're a social bunny, you'll love loopt.com. Way more powerful than just being able to call friends for a spontaneous dinner, because it lets you see immediately where your friends are both on a GPS map, and via photo/video that they've taken (if they're in a giving mood). It also lets you instantly call or text them to get together. Yes, you can stay in touch with friends via twitter.com, but it relies heavily on text, whereas loopt lets you see where they are, and visuals are just much faster and more efficient than texting.
We all complain about not having time to see our friends, and the hassle of coordinating plans, especially in a big city. loopt.com puts the spontaneity back into relationships. If I see a friend is nearby, I can suggest lunch or a coffee, and the logistics are a snap. Of course, if I don't want to be found, I can simply turn off my sharing, or filter out all but a list of friends. How cool is that??
While it works with just about every mobile device out there, it's especially easy and fun on an iPhone. But then, what isn't? Speaking of which, I can't wait for the new iPhone (due out July 11), as it's hooked to multiple global phone networks and will take a SIM card. Hallelujah.
