Now on the Blackberry as well as the iPhone -- “Loopt is a mobile social mapping application. Using cell phones and mobile devices, it displays the locations of a user’s friends along with their presence status (available, away, etc) visually on maps or on lists.” -- TechCrunch
Based on GPS and related data, users can request alerts when friends are within a certain distance, send messages to groups of friends in particular area, and be able to tag and blog physical locations in a way that’s accessible to friends through Loopt.
Users can also take pictures from their cell phones and tag them; these pictures will be available to friends and others on the Loopt network.
As of October 2008, Loopt is available on Sprint Nextel, Verizon, Boost Mobile, metroPCS, AT&T iPhone, and many BlackBerry devices, but the company is also speaking with other mobile carriers.
Similar companies, if not necessarily competitors, include Jaiku and Dodgeball
