I really hope this takes off - it would be great to use at events!

Yobongo was trying to get this going a while back. For some reason they focused on specific cities (Austin, NYC, and SF) instead of using a generic 1-mile approach like this. I was always disappointed that they got aquirehired - their app died on the vine.

Agree. It could be very useful at events and a good addition to Twitter's nearby feature, because of the intention to actually meet people.
