Loopt

edit

Loopt is a location-based social mapping service that allows individuals to use their location to discover the world around them – enabling them to find and enjoy the friends, places, and events that mean the most right here and now using their mobile phones. Users can also check in to locations, share location updates, tips, photos and comments with friends and share across online social networks, communities and blogs.

The Loopt service has more than 3 million registered users and partnerships with every major U.S. mobile phone carrier. The service is available on over 100 phones, including the iPhone, Blackberry devices and Android. (See http://www.loopt.com/phones for the full range of supported handsets.) The company is located in Silicon-Valley and backed by leading venture capital firms Sequoia Capital and New Enterprise Associates.

Loopt was designed with privacy considerations at its core and offers a variety of effective and intuitive privacy controls.
