VIENNA, Va.--(Business Wire)--
DubMeNow, creator of the first application for exchanging business card
information using a mobile phone, today launched a new feature on the DUB
application for instantly exchanging contact information with the push of a
button. 

The new feature called `Locate` allows BlackBerry and iPhone users to exchange
contact information such as e-mail, phone, address, photo, etc. and links to
their social networks, including: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, blogs and more
using their location. 

When two people meet, open the DUB application, and click the `Locate` button,
DUB will find both users and prompt them to exchange contact information. The
contact information is then automatically saved directly to their mobile address
book. 

"The `Locate` feature enables people to instantly exchange contact information
during any in-person setting by simply pushing a button," said Manoj Ramnani,
founder and CEO. "We`re excited to be the first to connect both iPhone and
BlackBerry users and will be adding other mobile phones soon." 

Once the exchange has been made, the contact`s info is always current. DUB
automatically updates a user`s mobile address book anytime a contact updates
their information (new e-mail, phone, social network, etc.). 

In addition to the new `Locate` feature, the newest version of DUB includes
several other improvements:

* Users can add a photo to their contact info, and include social networking
information such as Twitter handles, Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr accounts, blog
URLs and much more. 
* Users can send a LinkedIn invitation along with their contact info.

improvements to the DUB application. 

DUB still offers the ability to e-mail or text your mobile business card from
your phone or the Web to any e-mail address or mobile phone number.
