Is this really first/only app to make efficient use of geo-data or..? Looks sleek/fine to me, but of course the uptake is going to be the defining factor with this stuff.. FB & co. could kill it in an instant by enabling a similar feature in already existing networks..

dingdingdang, it's not the first app to use geo-data and we agree the uptake is going to be super important (especially uptake in one geographical area). I do think FB and other companies at it's core care mostly about your social graph vs. we're more concerned about what strangers or friends around you are doing. Facebook has "nearby friends" for example but doesn't give you any info on people who have similar interests around you.
