Loopt announced
it has launched Loopt in the Windows Phone Marketplace. With the Loopt app, people can instantly see what's going on around
you and connect with friends face-to-face.
Without even
opening Loopt, the Windows Phone Live Tiles constantly update with
friends' locations, comments and "Pings." Loopt has a unique ability to
bring out the unexpected - like uncovering the people you know and
popular places around you - creating social serendipity.
Features of the Windows Phone 7 Loopt app include:
-
Social map - See where your friends are right now on a map;
discover places your friends like to visit. -
Updates and photos - Quickly share your updates with friends,
and optionally include photos with your updates. Also, check out
friends' photos and places they've been, and view their updates as
they move around town. -
Ping friends - Instead of going through the hassle of sending
mass "Where are you?" text messages, have friends connect with you on
Loopt and "Ping" when you want to meet up. When they respond
(with a "Pong"), your map will light up with friends' locations and
updates. In less than a minute, you find out where your friends are,
and you can arrange to get together. -
Privacy controls - Only share your location with the people you
want, when you want. Privacy is a fundamental design and functional
priority for Loopt.
Loopt is a free app and is now available for download from the Windows
Phone Market
